It is played by two teams with equal numbers of players, with each team designating a leader, the "mother." The game involves players jumping over parts of other players' bodies. HOW TO 01 The game consists of the jumpers leaping over the feet of the base players, and then adding a hand PLAY? at a time until all the base players have their hands piled. The jumpers must not hit any of 02 the hands as they jump. If a jumper makes a fault, their "mother" must jump for them. If the "mother" fails to make the 03 jump, then the base players take their turn.  LUKSONG BAKA (Jump over the cow) Luksong Baka is a traditional Filipino game originated from the province of Bulacan, in the Central Luzon Region of the Philippines. The game requires a minimum of three and a maximum of ten players, although kids often adjust the number of participants when there are more players. The game consists of seven levels: Pandesal, Spaghetti, Royal, Patapik sa Pwet, Pasayad, Horse-kick, and Star. No special equipment is needed to play the game, but players must rely on three essential skills: mobility, stability, and strength.  Choose a captain or leader and HOW TO 01 an “It” or base player by any appropriate method. The rest of the players are jumpers. (Maiba PLAY? taya) On the ground, draw a baseline about two meters long. This is the 02 baseline that each jumper must touch before jumping over the “It” About one foot away from the baseline, the “It” stands parallel 03 to the baseline. He forward-downward, grasping his bends knees or ankles with hands to keep his balance.  Draw another line about five meters away from the baseline, HOW TO 04 perpendicular to it. Here, the jumpers line up single file (with the captain at the head), facing PLAY? the “It” who is bent over. The captain gives a command to straddle-jump over the “It” and demonstrates this. The rest of the 05 jumpers follow. If all the jumpers are able to follow the command the “It” moves a foot away from the baseline The captain then gives another command for the players to do a 06 different kind of jump, making sure to be the first to do the said action before everyone else. THE PIKO Piko is a traditional Filipino game that is similar to hopscotch. It is played by drawing a diagram with a series of numbered, rectangular boxes on the ground, usually in a cross or spiral pattern. The players then take turns to throw a small stone or other object into the boxes, hopping from one box to the next in numerical order and trying to reach the last box without missing. HOW TO 01 This is a two-player game where each person takes turns to hop over nine boxes while throwing a "pamato" into each box. PLAY? To determine who goes first, they 02 throw their "pamato" to a line across the fifth box and the closest one goes first. The players must hop on one foot, throwing a "pamato" into 03 the first box, hopping to the ninth box, and throwing the "pamato" into the second box before returning to the starting point. TUMBANG PRESO Tumbang preso is also known as "tumba-lata" or "bato-lata." The objective is for players to hit and knock down the can with the slipper, and for the "taya" to put back the can inside a small circle a few meters away from the toe-line. If a player is tagged while recovering their slippers, they become the "taya." HOW TO 01 The "taya" must guard the can with a stone or slipper and prevent the other players from PLAY? retrieving it. If the can is knocked down, the "taya" must place the can back in 02 the circle and tag one of the players, who then becomes the new "taya." If the slipper is knocked down, 03 the "taya" must place it back under the can and become the new guard. TAGU- TAGUAN Taguan is a traditional Filipino game similar to hide and seek, typically played at sunset or during moonlit nights. The main goal of Tagu-taguan is for one player, known as "it" or the "tagger," to find and tag the other players who are hiding. The game involves both strategic hiding and seeking skills. HOW TO 01 The "it" counts to a set number while other players hide. PLAY? 02 After counting, the "it" searches for hidden players. If "it" finds a player, they race to a designated base; if the found 03 player reaches the base first, they are safe, and "it" continues seeking until all players are found. THE PATINTERO Patintero is a traditional Filipino game that is usually played by two teams. The objective of the game is for a player from each team to run around a series of obstacles (usually chalked lines on the ground) and try to avoid being tagged by members of the opposing team. HOW TO 01 Patintero is played by two to six players on each team, with one team acting as the taggers PLAY? and the other as the runners. The goal of the game is for the 02 runners to cross the rectangle back and forth without being tagged. Teams score points when they complete "isang gabi," a full 03 circuit of the playing rectangle, from one end to the other and back again. TRADITIONAL GAMES ARE A WAY TO CONNECT WITH OUR PAST and remind us of a simpler time.
