Sneak
We're gonna play "Sneak," a game with two teams competing to steal and possess the most balls. Each team defends one half of the field where members are always SAFE. Each side has a "Ball Zone" with 5 balls and a "Waiting Area." The goal is to steal your opponent's balls and place them in your hula hoop. You can steal by crossing into the opponent's side and taking balls from their "Ball Zone." Balls can be thrown to teammates only on the opponent's side. Each player can handle one ball at a time. If tagged on the opponent's side, you go to their "Waiting Area" until tagged by your teammate. Defend your "Ball Zone" and "Waiting Area," but stay 3 feet away from their edges. If a player reaches an opponent's Ball Zone without being tagged, one foot inside the hula hoop is safe. The game ends when one side has 9 balls or lacks free players.

Gilli-Danda
This is a traditional Indian street game, consists of two main components: the "gilli" and the "danda." The gilli is a small wooden stick or spindle, while the danda is a larger stick or bat. The game involves one player from the hitting team placing the gilli on the ground, and then striking it with the danda, aiming to hit it as far as possible. While the gilli is in the air, players from the opposing team try to catch it or retrieve it before it hits the ground. Points are scored based on the distance the gilli travels before being caught or retrieved. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
