Villupuram government school revives traditional games

VILLUPURAM: Amidst the rising use of mobile phones among children and the risks of addiction to virtual games, teachers at Arasamangalam Government High School in Villupuram have revived traditional games to enhance memory and intelligence through the Tamil Koodal event.

Utilising the Tamil Koodal platform for extracurricular activities in government schools, teachers have introduced games such as pallanguzhi, paramapadham (snakes and ladders), yezhangal (seven-stone game), ghilli (a cricket-like game with wooden sticks), and vaarthai vilayattu (word game). These games integrate different learning methods, making education more engaging for students.
