Local games are also known as Traditional Games. Usually,

children used to play local games before the invention of TV and

other gadgets.

Let us know about some such popular local games.

Hide and Seek is a game played by children
all over the world. In this game, one player

looks for the other players who hide
themselves in different places. In India, it is
