Chapter 10
Hu Tu Tu, Hu Tu Tu
1) When you play Kabaddi, how many players do you have in a team?
2) How many players got out when Shyamala touched the line?
3) Do you have ways to resolve disputes in games?
4) Make a picture in your notebook to show how Shyamala managed to get the entire opposing team ‘out’ in one go.
5) What does it mean to be out in games? When does one gets ‘out’ in Kabaddi?
6) In some games it is very important to touch the player. For example in the game of Kho-Kho, you get ‘out’ when someone touches you. You also get your turn by someone’s touch. Name some games in which it is very important to touch the players?
7) In Kabaddi, the entire team was ‘out’, because Shyamala had touched the line. What are some other games in which, the central line is very important?
8) What are the games in which , besides the players, you have to touch some things or colours?
9) How does a coach teach? How does a coach make a player practice? How hard do you think the players have to work?
10) Have you ever thought of making a club for your favourite game?
11) Imagine that there are 15 children to play Kho-Kho. They must form two teams with equal numbers (7 each). Then one player will be left. What will you do if this happens? Have you ever become the ‘extra person’ in the middle? Write about this.
12) Every game has some rules. The game is played according to those rules. Let us see what happens if the rules are changed. For example – In cricket, a batsman gets ‘out’, if the bails fall off the stumps. Imagine if there is a rule that the entire team will be ‘out’, if all the three stumps fall. Would it be fun!
13) Try and play the game with this rule. Similarly, make some rules for other games and play.
