7 Games from Childhood that added more colour to life of 90s Kids

Gone are the days when children would wait for the evening to go out to play with friends. Even 40-45 degrees don’t matter to them. Outdoor games were a source of entertainment for the kids, keeping them physically active. The present generation of internet kids are unaware of those outdoor games, and they keep themselves busy with the games on their mobiles or laptops. Here are the games that added more colour to the childhood days of 90s kids-

1. Pakdam Pakdai

It was the best game to have fun. One would run and chase others in the group to catch them. The one caught has to take the next turn to chase others.

2. Chupan Chupai

Also known as Hide and Seek, it is the most loved game among the kids. Everyone hides within some restricted area, and one searches for others and yells “dhappa” after finding someone.

3. Stapu

It was a staple game for the kids of the 90s. Rectangles were drawn, and stone was thrown without letting it bounce or touch the line. Then you jump one-legged on the rectangle skipping the box with the stone.

4. Ankh Micholi

This game was fun. One among the group was blindfolded and tried to grab everyone around. The perpetual question everyone used to ask – How many fingers?

5. Oonch Neech

It was the popular game of the times. Half of the group stands in high places, whereas others stand in lower spaces. If the person from Oonch comes down and is touched by the Neech community, then that person is eliminated from the game.

6. Chain Chain

It was such a fun game to run and catch others to make a chain. It was tough to run being hammered holding hands.

7. Statue

In this game, if a person says statue to anyone, he has to stay absolutely still. It was hard staying statue for a long time when your friends would make you laugh at their insane jokes.
