simple kho, early kho and late kho. If the chaser pretends to be giving kho but
doesn’t give kho, this is called “Fake Kho”. The active chaser gives kho to the nearest
seated chaser from the runner sending him to touch the runner and h/ she sits in
the square where the seated chaser was sitting.

Activities

Students should be divided into two groups. One group should stay in the squares as
shown in the picture no -18 below. When the teacher says “Go”, the student should

give “ kho” as shown in the picture. The player who gives kho should stay in the
square and the one who gets kho goes to give kho to another friend. The student
who gets kho at last should run ahead around the pole and should go and stand
at the back of the line. If this exercise/ practice is regularly done, the students can
develop the arts and skills of giving “Kho”.

ii. Taking Direction

In course of chasing the runner, the active chaser either goes from one post to
another post or gives kho to the nearest passive chaser observing the runner. After

getting kho the active chaser can move only in one direction. The active chaser
should move/ proceed / run to the same direction where he / she is facing. He /
she is not allowed to turn back and run changing the body direction.

Activity

Students should stand in the “Kho-Kho” court in a line. Among them one should turn
to the opposite direction and the front most student in the line should give “Kho”
to his/ her friend. The student who has got kho should run straight ahead of the
cross Lane and go back and stand at the back of the line from the facing direction.

This practice should be done regularly.
