Chindro

The game requires a small piece of chalk or coal to draw a playing court and a square or round piece of flat stone (usually not bigger than 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter) as the tossing object.

If it lands successfully inside the designated box (without touching any lines) of the court, the player takes off her shoes and stands barefoot near that piece of stone with one foot in the air.

Consequently, the player's turn prematurely ends when: During the Taliban's rule, many sports for girls were banned in Afghanistan, including Chindro.
