Gilli-Danda is a traditional game played in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The game is played using simple equipment - a danda, being a long wooden stick, and a gilli, a small oval-shaped piece of wood. The game is related to cricket. It is played with two or more players with one player using the longer stick to launch the shorter one (pin) into the air. As with many traditional sports, there are many variations. Generally, the 'batter' tries to hit the smaller stick as far as possible. If it is caught by one of the 'fielders' he is out.

In Gilli Danda, a player stands in the centre of a small circle and balances the Gilli on a stone with one end touching the ground and the other in the air. Next, the player will hit the Gilli with the Danda and send it in the air. While in the air, the player takes another swing to hit the Gilli outside the circle to be chased and caught by other players. If the gilli cannot be hit in 3 tries, the player is out.
