40. How to play the game? • At least two players are needed to play the game. One player represents the ‘Goat’ and the other represents the ‘Tiger’. • If you are playing as the ‘Tiger’, your objective would be to ‘defeat’ five goats. If you are playing as the ‘Goat’, your objective would be to surround all three tigers such that the tigers cannot make a move. • Both the pebbles can be placed on the intersecting points. The goat player places a pebble first on any intersection. Next, the tiger places a tiger stone on any intersection, as indicated. • The tiger may jump over the goat to the next intersection. If so, the goat is considered ‘captured’ and will be out of the board. • In order to prevent the tiger from jumping over the goat, the next intersection has to be covered. So the goat player places another pebble at that intersection. • The goat player places one goat on the board at a time. The tiger player can either place the tiger stone or move. • But, the goats cannot move until all thirteen of them are on the board. The tigers must attempt to ‘capture’ the goats by jumping over them into a free space, the goat is then taken off the board.
41. Prepare a chart with the following categories. S. No. | Name of the game | Outdoor/indoor | Players needed | Equipment needed 1. Kabaddi | outdoor | team | nil (rows 2 to 10 are blank)

43. Find out about a famous hockey player and talk about them.
44. (Speech bubble, page 26) “I can name all the players of the Indian women’s hockey team! Can you?”

Chapter at a Glance

• The beginning — a sound in the garden. It is a summer afternoon. Gopi is sitting in the veranda, reading a book. He hears something rustling past and falling with a thud in the garden. He thinks it may be a mango falling from the tree, so he puts his book aside and runs out.
• The search. Gopi looks in between the thick grass near the garden fence — nothing. He looks among the bushes — nothing again. Then his eyes fall on a heap of dry leaves. A white ball is lying on the heap. He picks it up. It is a hockey ball.
• The honest thought. Gopi wonders whose ball it can be. He looks around and peeps outside the gate, but sees no one. His mother calls him in out of the heat. He drinks a glass of water, lies down on the mat and says to himself, “I can’t keep this ball for myself. I will ask around.” This one line is the heart of the story.
• At the playground. In the evening Gopi goes to the nearby playground where his friends gather to play hockey. He asks who has lost a ball. Manoj says he lost one four months ago — too long ago, so it cannot be his. Ramani claims it at once, but when Gopi asks what colour it is, she only says, “Show me the ball and I will tell you.” Deepak boasts that his father bought him a brand-new football the day before — and Gopi points out that the ball he found is a hockey ball. Everyone laughs.
• The game. Manoj grabs the ball and tosses it to Deepak. Gopi shouts, “Stop! I say, stop! Let’s play before it gets dark.” Manoj goes to the goalpost because he likes being goalkeeper. Gopi stands at the centre with the stick, passes to Deepak, who drives it to Ramani, who dribbles it to Jay.
• The ending — the joke. Jay tightens his wrist, keeps the flat side of the stick on the ball and hits it so hard that it flies past the playground gate and lands in the basket of a passing scooter. The scooterist does not notice and drives away. By the time the children reach the gate, the scooter is gone — and so is the ball. They look at each other and burst into laughter.
• What the story means. Two ideas sit inside this funny story. The first is honesty — Gopi never even thinks of keeping a ball that is not his. The second is taking things lightly — when the ball is lost again, nobody shouts or blames Jay. They laugh. A good day is not spoilt by one lost ball.
• New Words taught by the chapter: dribble, rustling, grab, boast, unaware, thud.
• What the language work teaches. Let us Learn A matches four story words to their meanings. B fills a small story with the joining words since, however, because, when. C teaches adverbs — the ones that tell how many times an action happens (often, always, never, regularly) and the ones that tell when it happens (now, yesterday, immediately). Let us Speak B trains the ear on the short oo of book against the long oo of Santoor. Let us Write B builds compound words (sunrise, football) and C hunts for ten words with ai in the middle. Let us Do makes the old Indian board game Tigers and Goats, and Let us Explore ends with a chart of games and a mini biography of a sportsperson.
