    In Sri Lanka New year festivals many western fun games are done rather than true traditional Sri Lankan games.
    Young people think that those are our own games eg. Tug-o_war (Kamba Adeema), Silly game Eating of Buns (Banis Kama)

    You’ve called this ‘Sinhala and Tamil New Year Games’ but each and every one of these games are played by the Sinhala people at Sinhala New Year Festivals. Apart from some of the games (e.g. tug-of-war), most of these are Sinhalese traditions. What games do the Tamils play for New Year, if any??? Would like to know.
    Thanks. 🙂
