Introduction (Ankh Micholi):
Ankh
Micholi is a popular group outdoor game
enjoyed by children aged 5 to 12. The boys and the girls actively participate
in playing this group game.
Play rules:
One
of the players, the denner, is
blindfolded with a piece of cloth. The denner
has to catch hold of one of the other players while being blindfolded. All
other players scatter around in the open space and avoid the denner so that
they do not get caught. The players are allowed to make sounds for the denner to give hints for the
direction. The denner’s turn
comes to an end as soon as he/she is able to catch one of the players. This
player now becomes the denner
for the next turn and the game continues till the all players decide
unanimously to end the game.
Distinction:
In some variant of this game, once the denner catches another player, he/she also has to identify the other player correctly. Unless correctly identified, he/she continues to be the denner in the game and the game continues.

Conclusion:
This game helps in developing the sensory
skills, alertness, and a sense of sound in the players. The
denner or the blindfolded
player has to make judgment of space based on his hearing abilities. This helps
the denner in developing
his/her skill to be alert at all times and have a sense of sound. This game
also helps in developing tactile sense.[1]
