Flash Cards: Dhaan Ki Bori

Dhaan Ki Bori is a team-based physical activity where one student acts as the 'carrier' and the other as the 'rider' in a racing competition.

In Dhaan Ki Bori, one student is the 'carrier' who carries the rider, while the other student is the 'rider' who is carried.

The race begins with a whistle signaling the carriers to start running towards the finish line.

Once the carrier reaches the finish line, the roles are switched, with the previous carrier becoming the rider and vice versa.

The first pair to successfully complete the race after switching roles is declared the winner.

Dhaan Ki Bori promotes teamwork, cooperation, strength, balance, and coordination.

Warm-up exercises include shoulder rotations, quadriceps stretches, and torso rotations.

Cool-down helps prevent injury, relaxes muscles, and includes stretches for calf, hamstrings, trunk, and forwards.
