Being a tech freak, living in a metropolitan city, you may feel that growing up is the worst thing that has happened to you. Because you really miss those days where, after a hectic day at a school or tuition, outdoor games were the ultimate choice of every kid. The times have changed, today kids will happily choose Call of Duty over Pakdam Pakdai. Thanks to a show like Aajo Jinhe Khedna, we can cherish old childhood memories of outdoor games. The show travels through various parts of Punjab — like Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, as well as through Haryana. It has even spread its magic in various college campuses. Two teams, three games, and the winning team take it all. So here we are with the list of vakh-vakh khedan.
- Rumaal Chukna: Remember Dog and Bone? This was one of the best games one can play with a limited number of people. All you must do is pick up the handkerchief and run to your corner before the opponent catches you. This game is being played in several episodes of the show and everyone from the players to the audience enjoys it.
- Bantey: Playing marbles requires many skills. How good is your aim? How well can you concentrate and not get distracted by other members? Just watch this game and you will feel like rushing out, getting your old gang together, and start playing once again.
- Aana Jhotta: Pakdam Pakdai was an integral part of your outdoor games. When the tagger must catch others with a blindfold over their eyes, the stakes get doubled and so does the fun. There are few episodes where this game has turned the tables and made the losing team a surprise winner.
- Rasa Tapna: Skipping rope is a unisex game; however, the show’s host Karan Kumar has said that girls give this game more importance than boys. All you men who prefer to be fit, go for the rope! Indeed, this is one of the most active games possible that is being forgotten with time. You will be impressed by our pind boys and girls — their teamwork, coordination and enthusiasm for the game.
- Chidi Udd…Kaa Udd: This is one game which you will probably want to play along while watching the show, thanks to the excitement with which Karan calls it out. The game is extremely fast-paced, and even a moment of confusion get you evicted.
- Langdi Laat: This game is a levelled-up Pakdam Pakdai. The twist is that the player who is supposed to catch others can’t run on two legs; he must hop only on one leg. The show has made it clear that girls have an upper hand in this game, with the maximum winners being women.
- Pithu Garam Mukabala: The Seven Stone Game is the finale of every episode. It decides the fate of a team and the team which aims properly, hits the stones hard and is quick enough to rearrange the stack without getting caught, wins the game. This game has its nail-biting moments and quick twists and turns.
So, this was our list of the games that will make you nostalgic for your own childhood. Tune in to ZEE5 for the show Aajo Jinhe Khedna and revisit those carefree days.
