When is Sinhala and Tamil New Year?

On 13 or 14 April each year, depending on when the sun moves into Aries. The exact auspicious times are announced each year.

Which games are included?

Kana mutti bindeema (blindfolded pot breaking), kotta pora (pillow fight on a pole), aliyata asa thabeema (put the eye on the elephant), banis kaema (bun eating), kamba adeema (tug of war), lissana gaha nageema (greasy pole), the lemon and spoon race and the Avurudu kumari and kumaraya contest.

Does it suit Tamil families?

Yes. The greeting sign is in Sinhala and Tamil, and the sweet labels include pongal and murukku.

How do I get the files?

Straight after payment the download page opens with a button for every file, and we email you the same link. Nothing is posted.

How should I print them?

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or your browser and print at 100% or ‘Actual size’, not ‘Fit to page’. Matte card of 200–300 gsm gives the nicest finish, but plain paper works too.

Can I print more than one copy?

Yes. The personal-use licence lets you print as many copies as you need for your own home, family and events, at home or at a print shop. Please do not share or resell the files.
