  The traditional sports of rural Bengal are being lost with the development of civilization and modern touches. Today's old people have not seen the sports that they used to play in their childhood and now they have forgotten the names of many sports. At one time the children and youth of the village were accustomed to various sports besides studies. In their spare time, they used to play these games in groups in the open field of the village. And the children were involved in mischief in childhood through sports.

A girl who has not played a puppet game cannot be found in Bangladesh. At home, dolls are made of clay, wood or cloth in human form. Various dolls are made in various fairs in rural Bengal, such as Baishakhi Mela, Rath Mela, Poush Sankranti, Charak Puja, Shivratri, Muharram, Eid and various other festivals. Of course, plastic dolls are also very popular now.


Children, brides and grooms are decorated with various types of dolls, clothes and jewelry. Cooking, child rearing, marriage of a boy doll with a girl doll, etc. are played by playing puppet games. In fact, a picture of the whole world emerges in the puppet play.
