KRISHNA SAID
By
reciting one Hare Krishna mantra a player is chosen to lead the game.
The game is played a little differently for young children than for
older ones.
For very young ones the leader says,
“Krishna said do this. Krishna said do that, “using Krishna conscious
activities like “Krishna said go to Aratrika”, Krishna said make sweet
balls.” All the children must do what Krishna says. When the leader
says, “Maya said do this”, or “maya said do that”, he chooses bad
activities like “Maya said eat with your left hand”, etc. the children
must not do what Maya says. If they do it, they are out of the game.
For older children, the activities suggested are always Krishna
conscious and the leader does not use “Maya said”. Either he says,
“Krishna said do this”, or he just says “Do this”, with out mentioning
Krishna. The children must do the activities when “Krishna said” is
mentioned, but they must not do it when it is not. To make the game
increasingly difficult, the leader can give the orders faster and
faster. The winner is the last one in the game. He becomes the next
leader.
