How to Play
- Children are asked to form a line.
- The Guru explains the game thus – When the command ‘Love all’ is given, the children should WALK and when the command ‘Serve all’ is given, they should STOP.
- Ex. Teacher keeps repeating- ‘Love all, love all, serve all, love all, serve all …’.
- Those faltering are eliminated.
- Next, the commands are reversed. This time they should WALK for ‘Serve all’ command and STOP for ‘Love all’ command (reverse).
- This can be repeated many times, to the great excitement of children.
- During the process those who are not following the commands correctly are eliminated.
- At the end of the activity, the winner is the one who remains not out.
