‘Dugrul’ is a game played by boys of about the age of 10. The player hits a whirligig with a whip so that it whirls. In the past, this game was used as training for future wolf hunters who used whips. ‘Drag the rope’ is known among many peoples. The Kalmyk version differs in that the winners not only have to pull the rope to themselves but also seize a handkerchief from the opposing team. ‘Nyarn shinj’ is played by two people. The winner is the one who first arranges the nyarn shinj i.e. by putting metal rings into the rod and then pulling out the rod from inside the rings.
