hey everyone!
i'm doing an indian dinner at our university to introduce people to indian culture, and i was trying to think of some kind of fun game that everyone could participate in to kind of break the ice. i cant really think of any distinctly indian games though that would be easy to facilitate...do yall know any?
there are going to be about 50 people from all different cultures there...
i'm anxious to hear your suggestions!

thanks!

It's a game of tag/tackle played on a small two-box grid between two teams who send raiders into opposing territory who say "kabbadi-kabbadi" over and over again on a single breath. When their breath is up, they have to go back to their side. If they are touched or tackled, they are caught by the opposing team. Their goal is to capture people in the same way without being caught themselves. Last team with a man standing wins.

They place this in the movies often.
