History of International Tug of War Day

The origin and history of International Tug of War Day are still unknown. Everyone will be aware of this game, and all must have played this game at least once in their youths in school or the summer camp, or during other occasions. This game has grown up now, it not only has its holiday, but this game also has an international and national federation that organise tug of war tournaments worldwide. To play this game, just take a rope and tie a cloth in the middle of it and split into two teams. These teams should hold each end of the rope and try to pull the other team towards them to win the game. Sometimes this game is played using a stick instead of rope. Very few to a large crowd of people can take part in this game.
