This is a insult!! There is nothing in this video that even vaguely resembles anything Indian. Stop this now. What kind of ridiculous costumes are they wearing? They are teaching innocent children to continue negative stereotypes of Indians.

How to Play "Herding Buffalo" with a Straw

In this clip, we're going to show great fun game called "Herding Buffalo". In Indian culture, they had to herd animals. Like buffalo and horses. Well, of course we can't bring buffalo to the party. But we'll bring the next best thing: A straw and a balloon. What the children do is they break up into groups and they create lines. The kids job is to take the straw and put it in their mouth and by nothing but air, blow the balloon across the finish line. This concept teaches them about herding. About how hard it is to manage something you have very little control over. For the younger kids, you can just have them blow straight to the finish line. If you want it really fun and interesting, what you can do is that you can have the older kids become obstacles by opening their legs. And then they have to blow the balloon through it. One thing they have to be very careful of, is that they don't take the straw and actually make contact with the balloon. The herding's done with nothing but hot air and lots of fun and excitement.
