1 Indian traditional game - Seven stones
Seven Stones is a traditional Indian game, played all over the country even today. It is also known as Lagori , saat-pathar  and pittu and is the most complex popular children’s game in India. It is rather like Dodge ball but, more aggressive.

2 Indian version of the game: Things Needed to play:
                                            A Ball: Tennis or the rubber kinds. 7 stones: If not, suitable substitutes. Minimum 2 players in each team. But it is much more fun with a lot more.

3 Rules: The defending team player can only pivot with the ball and not move around. The maximum time he is permitted to have the ball in his hands is about 50 seconds. He has to pass the ball to other members of his team who will attempt the same – to make a player that they are marking ‘out’ by hitting their leg with a ball below the knee. People with the ball, however can dodge. The stones have to fall within the circle only. If they fall outside the circle, then its again 1 point for the defending team plus they get to throw the ball now.
