How to play
- The Guru divides the class into two groups.
- A child from Group A comes in front and sits quietly.
- Next, children from Group B must try to disturb the child sitting quietly in various ways (jokes, funny actions etc.,) without touching him.
- If he can maintain silence till the end, undisturbed by their pranks, he scores a point for his group and again a boy from his own group comes and sits in his place.
- But, if he gets disturbed by the pranks and gives up his silence in the middle, he is out of the game and Group B scores a point.
- Now a boy from group B comes and sits in front and children from Group A try to disturb him.
- The game continues in this manner and the team with maximum points emerges as the winner!!
