. Langdi – Balance on a foot and catch me.
Divide the class into two groups. The game is played in a limited space. A line
is drawn around the area where this game is played.
At the start of the game a coin is tossed. The group that wins the toss
goes into the game area.
The second group sits or stands outside the area in a group. One member
(ex: Shruti) from the second group comes to the boundary of the area.
When the teacher blows the whistle, Shruti bends one of her legs up
and starts hopping in the area with one leg to catch the members of the
second group.
The members of second group keep running around. When Shruti touches
a member of the second group that member is out and goes out of the
circle.
Shruti can continue catching members of second group if she is not
tired.
Shruti cannot put both legs down. She has to balance herself. If she
puts both legs down then her turn is over. Shruti can go out on her own
if she is tired. She goes out of the circle and the next member from the
team repeats the action.
The group which catches all the members of other group wins. If both
groups catch all the members of other group then you can decide the
other parameters on which the winner is decided.
Have fun devising games which need balancing and sensing to be used, and
play with your friends.
