MARBLES
These little spherical glass thingys were like the most prized possessions. The one who possessed the most was hailed as king. There wasn’t any special season to play marbles, but yea they were most prominent during and before rains. Oh yeah I still remember the games, the 10-20 game wherein there was a “gull” or a small hole which was used to reach from 10-100 in steps of 10. Then there was the “triangle game” where in you could win more marbles. In short it was “bacche log ka gambling”.
The triangle wasn’t just a game. Things could get really bad if someone lost his marbles (pun intended). I have witnessed so many fights because of this game.
Five Stones
This was quite a skilful game. First one hunted for five pebbles, smooth and round and equal size (not so easy in a built-up area). Once found the game could be played.
The game was usually played alone as it needed a great deal of concentration. Four stones would be placed on the ground in a cross pattern, a snatching distance apart. Then one would toss the remaining pebble into the air, snatch up a stone and hopefully catch the one coming down so you had two pebbles in your hand. Then you continued until all the pebbles were snatched and you had all five pebbles in your hand.
Scissors-Paper-Stone(lom chiam pas )
Another game we played in pairs. This was often used as a divvying-up game. It consisted of two people facing each other with both hands behind one's back. On the count of three they would bring one hand forward. There were three hand movements: a closed fist (stone), two index fingers held forward (scissors), and a flat hand palm uppermost.
kuti-kuti
These were tiny plastic animals which we used to fight each other. Basically you take turns to try to flick your animal on top of your opponent’s. The winner of course gets to keep the opponent’s animal.
capteh/ Sepak Yan
This game requires certain investment,thus it is considered one of the more advanced games.It is basically a badminton played with feet.The shuttlecock is replaced by a bunch of (chicken) feathers tied together sitting on top of a heavy circular base usually made by pieces of rubber from the old tyres.
zero-point
popular game, using rubber bands...

You ever seen those "ropes" that are in a loop? Secured as a loop, I think they were referred to as a "Chinese" jump rope. The people holding the rope stood inside the loop, stretching it between each other, and the player would stand on the ropes, then jump between the two in patterns while singing or something. That's what I remember from my childhood, jumping over the ropes, then the holders would raise the rope from their ankles to their knees, and the chant would begin again. Wish I remembered that chant....
