My Favourite Game - Kho Kho
Of all the games that I play with my friends, I like Kho Kho the most. Kho Kho is one of the oldest traditional games in India. Each team has 12 players of which nine players sit in a row on their knees and three players run around avoiding being touched by players of the other team. It is also called a tag game.
Kho Kho is a modified version of a 'run and chase' game. It has originated in Maharashtra and people say that it existed during the times of kings and queens too. The formal rules and regulations of the game were supposed to have been formulated by the Deccan Gymkhana club of Pune, Maharashtra. In 1982, men and women Kho Kho teams were sent for Asian Games organised in New Delhi. Today we have Asian Kho Kho Federation which was established in 1999 and the countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Maldives are member in the federation.
I love playing the game in school during the sports hour because we play with teams from other classes and it is fun to be involved in a team.
Kho Kho is the Indian game that is played by boys and girls. This traditional sport has lots of craze even today. There is Kho Kho games conducted in state and national level.
This game has a team of 10 players on each side that need lot of stamina, fitness and speed for the player to win the game. This game is enjoyable and gives a lot of thrill when one is dodged and feinted.
For a single match, there will be two innings in which each team will be running and chasing for 7 minutes each.
Out of 10 players, there will be eight active players who will be sitting by facing alternating directions.
One will be the runner. The runner has to chase and touch the opposite team player who will be running around the eight players in any of the directions.
