Class 6 Physical Education Unit 3, Fundamental Skills of Kho-Kho (खो-खो के आधारभूत कौशल), provides step-by-step training in India’s classic indigenous tag sport—covering both chaser (attacking) and runner (defensive) skills along with lead-up games.
What Class 6 Physical Education Unit 3 Covers
Chasing & Pole Skills breaks down Sitting in Squares (बैठक), Chasing (पीछा करना), Giving ‘Kho’ (‘खो’ देना), Pole Turn (स्तंभ पर घूमना), Covering Chase, Fake ‘Kho’ (भ्रामक ‘खो’), Pole Dive, and Toe-Tapping (पैर के पंजों को छूना).
Running, Dodging & Chain ‘Kho’ Lead-up Games coaches runners in Running in a Straight Line, Dodging (चकमा देना), Zig-Zag Running, Chain ‘Kho’, and the 3-2-3 Chain ‘Kho’ team drill.
About kho-kho: two teams take turns to chase and defend: the chasers try to tag the defenders out while the defenders try to avoid being caught. The game needs agility, speed, leg strength and team spirit.
The sitting position and drills: a chaser sits on the toes in a marked square, palms on the ground with fingers and thumb forming a bridge, leaning forward with the weight balanced on the shoulders and hands. One lead-up race holds the starting position for 20 seconds, then does a 10 m frog jump and a 10 m duck walk.
