Seetu

Seetu is a colloquial word for cards. This game will improve children’s
concentration and aiming skill as they try to hit the cards by a stone to get
them out of the circle. Since it is played using cards in villages the game is
named after it. This is also played using hardened Mango Kernels, Bottle
Crowns, tamarind seeds, etc.

​

Usually in villages kids go to Annaachi stores (Beeda Kadai) and pick empty
cigar pack covers which is easily and freely available and play with it, the
game is to bet cigar covers on your aiming skills. You place the cigar cover
in a circle and try to hit it with a stone and try to bring it out of the circle, if you
are able to hit it and bring it out of the circle then that cover is yours. Cards that
are very hard to get by contains more points and easy to get will have low
points. The one with highest point at the end of the day wins.
