Indikatu Keliya
Also known as Grandmother Game, ඉඳිකටු කෙළිය
Children taunt a 'grandmother' busy digging in the dirt, when she leaps up to chase them, the first caught becomes the next grandmother.
How to play
One player is the 'grandmother' (achchi) who sits on the ground near a small mound of dirt or sand pretending to dig with a stick.
The other players stand around her at a safe distance and call out a traditional set of questions in a teasing chant.
After the final exchange, the grandmother suddenly leaps up and chases the other players.
The first player she catches becomes the next grandmother.
The game continues with the new grandmother resuming the digging pose.
Keep it fair
The grandmother must finish the full question-and-answer exchange before chasing, no early jumps. If they chase before the last line, the round does not count.
