Mobiles and tablets were yet to make their mark when we used to play these super-engrossing paper games in early 90's. (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
1. Raja Mantri Chor Sipahi: You need four participants and a piece of blank paper. Cut the paper in four chits and write Raja, Mantri, Chor, Sipahi on them, also mentioning the scores (refer to the image). Now fold these chits and toss them. Each participant picks one chit and write down their score on a separate sheet. You can play this numerous times. In the end, the person who has the maximum score wins the game.

2. Tippy tippy tap tap: What colour do you want? This game is not about winning or losing, rather it is more about having fun. Depending on the colour you choose, you get a funny title (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
3. Zero Kaata: Only two people can play this. Refer to the image to draw two horizontal and two vertical images. The players will choose either zero or kaata (cross) to start. (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
One who makes the pattern of three consecutive zeroes or kaatas wins the game. (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
4. FLAMES: It's natural to have crushes in teenage. You can write your name along with the name of your crush and cross out common alphabets. Now count the remaining alphabets, and get a score. If there are 10 remaining alphabets your score is 10. With each letter, starting from the left, count up to the number you got in the previous step. Return to the F on the left with each pass. The letter you land on has a word that it stands for in the acronym 'flame'. F= Friendship L= Love A= Affection M= Marriage E= Enemies (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
Name place animal thing: The number of players can be above 2. Prepare 26 chits of all the alphabets from A to Z. Now mix the lot. Each player will pick up a chit and write Name, place, animal, thing, starting with that alphabet. The player who finishes the task first will count from 1 to 20, after which everybody has to stop writing. On each correct answer, a score of 10 will be awarded. When all the chits are exhausted, scores and calculated and winners are announced. (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
Making a paper boat: It's not a game exactly. But you can turn it into one. There is no limitation to the number of players. Make a paper boat as instructed in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wu5oKy4m5s) and you can have a paper boat race in a puddle of water. What say? (Source: Parmita Uniyal)
