Hello! Community,
I am from বাংলাদেশ
My view is to introduce old passed folk games to the community
I have made an intention to write about folk games which actually played in the past as a part game as well as enjoyment. These were really joyful. Now a days people are passing their days with technology. But in the past these antique games were only place to enjoyment. Today I am telling about Gollachut (গোল্লাছুট) which is the meaning of English word of "Touch and Run"
How to play:
Here is the method how to play the game as follow:
Gollachhut (touch and run) an outdoor game where a stick is planted in a small hole, thereafter called golla (circle) or the centre of the game. A tree or a stone twenty-five to thirty feet from the centre is fixed as the goal. The main objective of the game is for each player to take turns to run and touch the goal. In Bangla, chhut means 'to run', and hence the name gollachhut. The game is played between two teams of equal members, either five or seven.
The team leader in the game is called goda (chief). The chief circles round the stick in the centre holding it with one hand and holding a player with the other. The other players hold hands and also circle the stick with the chief. At some point, the last player in the chain frees himself and runs towards the goal and touches it. Players from the opposing team lie in wait at different points to touch the running player. If they succeed in touching him, he is considered out. The last to run is the chief himself. The teams play the game by turns. This game is mainly played in dhaka, faridpur, Madaripur, barisal and Khulna districts.
