Steps to Play Vish-Amrit
In this game, one person is chosen as the denner. The denner chases the other players and gives them Vish by touching them and saying aloud ‘Vish’. As soon as Vish is given to a player, this player freezes in his position until his other teammate comes and set him/her free by giving Amrit. Amrit is given by touching the stationery player and shouting out ‘Amrit’. The game continues till all the players are given Vish by the denner and no one is left to give Amrit.
