Do you remember playing with these type of games when you were little? I don't remember the complete names, but just wanted to share with you that some of these games are not so readily available anymore for kids of today.
Here is a Kurumbai spin game (Kurumbai - a tamil name for young coconuts. My daughter calls it baby coconuts, and had fun making the spinning game with broomsticks, and playing with it).
Here is a picture of kids playing with Nona-kai (Nona kai is the tamil name for this fruit. I don't know the english name for it). These kids are busy building a chariot with a bunch of nona-kai.

Don't remember playing these games but I know we used to use barakoys (the green seeds from the ashoka tree). We would remove the green skin and there used to be a white pod inside it - we used to stick this on the head of a broom stick and whip it out to hit each other..
