(i) The gilli is 5 to 7 inches in size. Mostly, this game is played on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. The existence of this game is limited in India only. It is a very entertaining game. The discovery of golf is inspired by the game of Gilli-Danda only.

(ii) Kho-Kho is a tag sport from the Indian Sub-continent. Each team consists of twelve players, but only nine players take the field for a contest. It is one of the most popular traditional tag game, apart from Kabaddi.
