“Sports”
1) Lemon and Spoon Sprint
The Classic race which everyone has played atleast once in their lifetime. It’s not just about speed but rather balance and co-ordination which ain’t an easy combination to master.
As a young kid, one is thrilled as he/she paces through the tracks, and delightfully discovers being the leader of the pack. In that state of glee, paces forward, to only discover that the slight glance, that slight tilt of looking around turns out to be disastrous, and being only a meter away from the finish line, the lemon drops. Live your world, live your life – don’t attempt the precarious angles to look around on who’s doing what and where am I? You too could face the same consequences. Although a simple game, it teaches some of the biggest lessons for our adult life.
Registration : Rs 20/person
Rules :
a) One can’t use their hands once the race has commenced
b) You are out of the race if your lemon falls off the spoon
c) The first person to cross the finish line or the person covering the maximum distance (in case no one completes) shall be the winner.
d) The referee’s decision is final and binding in any of any dispute.
e) Fantastic prizes (sporting gear and accessories) await the winners
2) Three Legged Race
Another childhood classic, which sounds easy but it takes patience, practice to make two pairs of legs to work as one. And did we mention all the fun in falling on the sand?
Registration : Rs 30/couple
Rules :
a) The legs shall be tied by the volunteers, and can’t be adjusted by the participants.
b) When the whistle blows, all of the pairs, assembled side by side at the starting line, race to the finish line. The first team whose pairs all cross the finish line wins.
c) The referee’s decision is final and binding in any of any dispute.
d) Fantastic prizes (sporting gear and accessories) await the winners
3) Tug of war
It’s a game of teamwork as much as of strength, and the team that works together is the one that stays together and ofcourse wins!
Registration : Rs 50 for 5 member team
Rules :
a) Each team consists of 5 members each.
b) The objective is to pull until one side’s tape crosses the line.
c) The referee’s decision is final and binding in any of any dispute.
