Traditional games in the Philippines. Traditional Filipino Games or traditional games in the Philippines[1][2] are games commonly played by children, usually using native materials or instruments. In the Philippines, due to limited resources of toys of Filipino children, they usually come up on inventing games without the need of anything but the players themselves. With the flexibility of a real human to think and act makes the game more interesting and challenging. Dickie Aguado, Executive Director of Magna Kultura Foundation (a Philippine NGO for Arts and Culture), confirms that the Traditional Filipino Games are very much alive in the Philippines. It is not true that the Filipino Street Games are no longer played, as some would say that it has vanished in Philippine society in the age of computers and high- tech gadgets. In many urban and rural areas, a great majority of Filipino children still play outdoor street games as most of them are still unable to own expensive high- tech gadgets. Games like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Piko, Sipa, Turumpo, and many others, are very much alive and played daily in the neighborhood. One of the main reason why some children stop playing the Filipino games is because Western sports activities (i. Barangays and in schools. With lack of organized sports activities for Filipino street games, children would just move on leaving the games of their childhood in the streets. There are over thirty eight (3. Filipino games, and many of these are as challenging and competitive as Western games. To cite a few, Filipino Traditional Games include the following: Patintero[edit]Patintero, also called Harangang Taga or Tubigan (in English try to cross my line without letting me touch or catch you) - There are two teams playing: an attack team and a defense team; with five (5) players for each team. The attack team must try to run along the perpendicular lines from the home- base to the back- end, and return without being tagged by the defence players. Members of the defense team are called it, and must stand on the water lines(also "fire lines") with both feet each time they try to tag attacking players. The player at the center line is called "Patotot". Traditional Indian games like Chess and Kabaddi have been played in India since time unknown. Teach your kids to play the games that your forefathers grew up playing. Traditional Filipino Games or traditional games in the Philippines [1] [2] are games commonly played by children, usually using native materials or instruments. The perpendicular line in the middle allows the it designated on that line to intersect the lines occupied by the it that the parallel line intersects, thus increasing the chances of the runners to be trapped, even only one(1) member of a group is tagged the whole group will be the "it". In some instances, the tagged players are blamed and bullied. Patintero is one of the most popular Filipino street games. Tumbang Preso[edit]Tumbang preso or Presohan in the Luzon, and Tumba- Patis or Tumba- Lata in most Visayan regions (in English Hit The Can). This also one of the popular Filipino street games played by children using their slippers to hit a tin can at the center. One way to help children connect with Japanese culture is to play traditional games Japanese children play. Japanese children still play many traditional games, some. Required: Twine, apples and skewer Players: Small to medium groups: For this game there are only two players on a team, one to hold the apple and the other to eat the. In games of chase and tag, the object is to tag, or touch, other players who are then out of the game. Usually one. Traditional games of Korea (folk games; Korean: 전통놀이, Jeontongnori) have been influenced by the culture, history and environment of the Korean Peninsula. Traditional Aboriginal games. Today it takes a lot of work to uncover traditional games played by Aboriginal people before white colonisation of Australia. Traditional Irish Games for Kids. Irish children's games include classic rhyming, chanting and clapping games, which are traditional throughout the United Kingdom. We've listed down some of the lesser-known traditional Filipino games even old timers never knew had names. A selection of traditinal kids games: Board games, childrens games, paper and pencil games, party games, table games, etc. Some games can be played indoors, some. Like other Filipino traditional games, members take the following roles: one as the “taya” (it), someone who takes the role of a- player- at- stake and holds the responsibility of the Lata (tin can), and; the two others as the players striking. The game is performed by having the players use a “pamato” (which is one's own slipper) to strike the tin that is held beside the taya. As to how the game cycles, the taya, is obliged to catch another player to take over his position of running after the tin that keeps from throwing away by the strikes of the players. Nevertheless, the taya is only privileged to do so only if the player is holding on his way a pamato and when the tin is on its upright position. Hence, running after another player is keeping an eye to the tin can’s position. As for the players, they have their whole time striking the tin can and running away from the taya keeping themselves safe with their pamato since making the tin fell down helps another player from recovering. Instance like having everyone had their turns over is one big climax of the game that leads them to panic since case is that taya has all his rights to capture whether the player have a hold of their pamato or not. However, mechanics also give each side privileges. With the roadway or streets as the area being performed, the taya take its place on one side held its tin centered on the ground while on the other end is bound by a line that limits the player when throwing. Breaking rules to the players give way for the taya to have his overturn, like: stepping on or outside the boundary line when throwing; kicking the tin; striking the tin without having oneself reaching the line; or even touching it. In other versions, especially those in Visayan regions and Southern Luzon, is of complexity for the part of the taya. The latter has to make the tin can stand upright together with its own “pamato” on the top of it which also adds up to the mechanics of the game. The tendency is that even when the taya has already made everything stood up but when the slipper will fall from the tin, he is not allowed catching anybody unless he hurriedly put it back to its position. Luksong- Baka[edit]Luksong- Baka (lit. One player crouches while the other players jump over him/her. The crouching player gradually stands up as the game progresses, making it harder for the other players to jump over him/her. A person becomes the "it" when they touch the 'baka' as they jump. It will repeat again and again until the players declare the player or until the players decide to stop the game. It is the Filipino version of leap frog. Luksong- tinik[edit]Luksong- tinik (lit. A starting point is set by all the players, giving enough runway for the players to achieve a higher jump, so as not to hit the tinik. Players of the other team start jumping over the tinik, followed by the other team members. Piko is the Philippine variation of the game hopscotch. The players stand behind the edge of a box, and each should throw their cue ball. The first to play is determined depending on the players' agreement (e. Whoever succeeds in throwing the cue ball nearest to the place that they have agreed upon will play first. The next nearest is second, and so on. Patay patayan[edit]Also referred to as Killer Eye. There should be at least 4 players. Cut pieces of paper according to how many players are playing. There should be 1 judge, at least 1 killer, at least 1 police, and others are normal people. The objective of the game is for the police to find and catch the killers by saying "I caught you" and say the name of the killer before the killer kindat (winks at) the judge. The killer gets to kill people by winking at the person he wants to kill. If he kills a normal person, the person says "I'm dead!" If he kills the judge without being caught, The judge says "I'm dead, but I'm the judge" and repeat again. Sekyu Base[edit]Sekyu Base It is another version of Agawan Base but no score limits. If a team scores five, the game is still going on. The players can hide in other things near the enemy base and ambush them. Agawang sulok[edit]Agawang sulok (lit. The players in the corners will try to exchange places by running from one base to another. The it should try to secure a corner or base by rushing to any of those when it is vacant. This is called "agawan base" in some variants, and "bilaran" in others. Araw- Lilim[edit]Araw- lilim - sun and shade - The it or tagger tries to tag or touch any of the players who is in direct contact with the light. Bahay- Bahayan[edit]A role- playing game where children act as members of an imaginary family, sometimes to the extent that one of them becomes the family "pet." They then act out various household situations such as dinner, going to mass, and the like. Hand clapping games[edit]A hand- clapping game generally involving 4 people. They are split into two pairs with each pair facing each other. Members from both pairs face the center (the two pairs being perpendicular to each other). Each pair then does a hand clapping "routine" while singing the "Bahay Kubo" or "Leron- leron Sinta". In the middle of the song, each pair would exchange "routines" with the other. These are the lyrics: Bahay Kubo. Bahay Kubo, kahit munti. Ang halaman doon ay sari- sari,Singkamas at talong. Sigarilyas at mani,Sitaw, bataw, patani,Kundol, patola,Upo't kalabasa. At saka meron pa, labanos, mustasa,Sibuyas, kamatis,Bawang at luya. Sa paligid- ligid ay puno ng linga. Leron- leron Sinta. Leron- leron sinta. Buko ng papaya. Dala- dala'y buslo,Sisidlan ng bunga,Pagdating sa dulo'y. Nabali ang sanga. Kapos kapalaran,Humanap ng iba. Variations: Gumising ka, neneng,Tayo'y manampalok,Dalhin mo ang buslong. Sisidlan ng hinog. Pagdating sa dulo'y. Lalamba- lambayog,Kumapit ka, neneng,Baka ka mahulog. Leron, leron sinta. Buko ng papaya,Dala- dala'y buslo,Sisidlan ng sinta,Pagdating sa dulo'y. Nabali ang sanga. Kapos kapalaran,Humanap ng iba. Ako'y ibigin mo. Lalaking matapang,Ang baril ko'y pito,Ang sundang ko'y siyam. Ang lalakarin ko'y. Parte ng dinulang. Isang pinggang pansit. Ang aking kalaban. Leron, leron sinta. Buko ng papaya,Dala- dala'y buslo,Sisidlan ng sinta,Pagdating sa dulo'y. Nabali ang sanga. Kapos kapalaran,Humanap ng iba. A variation on the game is an incorporated action according to the lyrics. An example is "Si Nena", a song about a girl named Nena, starting when she was born. The song progresses with the life story of Nena, (i. After she died, one player would act like a ghost and catches the other players. Traditional games of Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Traditional games of Korea (folk games; Korean: м „н†µл†Ђмќґ, Jeontongnori) have been influenced by the culture, history and environment of the Korean Peninsula. Koreans have enjoyed games throughout history with family and friends, and the games create a sense of community. The most popular traditional games are Ganggang Sulrae, Jegichagi, Neolttwigi, Ssireum, Tuho and Yutnori. Characteristics[edit]Korea's traditional games originated from folk beliefs. The peninsula has been agrarian since ancient times, and Koreans have believed in gods who protect nature and their lands. Exorcisms were performed to increase crops and animal well- being, with singing and dancing popular activities. Traditional games developed during this early period. Although many folk beliefs have disappeared, the games continue to be played. The names and rules of the games differ by region. In Gyeonggi- do Gonu is called "Gonu, Goni, Ggoni", but in Jeonlado it is called "Ggon, Ggonu". Under Japanese rule, nearly all traditional games in Korea disappeared. Most games (such as Tuho, Ssireum and kite flying) are played with the hands, using movement, and do not require equipment or a play area. The games are related to the four seasons. Yutnori[edit]Yutnori, a board dice game with four wooden sticks, is one of the most popular traditional games of Korea and is usually played on the first day of the New Year by two players (or teams). Each player (or team of two players) takes turns throwing yut sticks. Each stick has two sides (round and flat), which makes the stick roll. Five combinations are possible with yut sticks: do, gae, geol, yut and mo. A player achieving a yut or mo is allowed to roll again. If a board piece lands on a space occupied by an opponent, it is returned to the start and the player goes again. If a piece lands on a space occupied by one's own team, the pieces can go together (counting as one). The combinations determine how the board pieces are moved, and the team which moves all four pieces around the board first wins. The game has its roots in divination rituals.[1]Sangbak (мѓЃл°•; з›ёж’І) by Kim Hong- do, late 1. Ssireum (wrestling)[edit]Ssireum is similar to Japanese sumo wrestling, with two opponents wrestling each other in a sandy ring. The player who throws his opponent to the ground scores a point. Annual competitions are held, which are popular. Ssireum, a contest of strength and technique, is a form of wrestling unique to Korea.[2]Traditionally practiced as combat and self- defense, ssireum was also part of rituals conducted in the ancient tribal states. Rules evolved, allowing ssireum to develop into a national sport valued for competition and entertainment. Top- spinning[edit]In top- spinning, played primarily by children, a player spins a wooden top with a stick to make it spin on ice or on the ground. Popular in winter, the games have names which vary by region. The best tops (made from birch, jujube or pine) are heavy, with strong tips, and they are often spun in groups.[3]Kite flying[edit]Kite frames are generally made of bamboo, with paper attached. Most kites, rectangular or stingray- shaped, are tethered with string on a reel. Kite flying is a traditional winter game for children and adults. There is a period of kite flying from New Year's Day to Daeboreum, after which the kite string is cut for it to fly away. Kite flying is less common, due to work obligations, but kites were flown as a distraction from winter cold.[4]Tuho was originally popular among royal families and the upper class. In a manner similar to horseshoes, tuho players attempt to throw arrows into the top of a narrow- necked wooden jar. The score is determined by the number of arrows in the jar. Tuho is presently played by people from all classes. According to Rebecca Lucas, Tuho was played on the Korean Peninsula during the Gorguryeo Kingdom (3. BCE - 6. 68 CE) and is mentioned in the History of Old Tang (и€Ље”ђж›ё) and the Book of Sui (йљ‹ж›ё). The game apparently waned in popularity, since King Yejong of Goryeo (c. Sung emperor in 1. During the Joseon dynasty, it was promoted as Confucian. The game was played by both women and men, including Prince Yangnyong (м–‘л…•лЊЂкµ°, 讓寧大君. King Hyeonjong of Joseon (н„мў…, йЎЇе®—. Gonu's (a variety of Pong Hau K'i) name (goni, ggoni or ggon) and rules vary by region; examples are pond, line or pumpkin gonu. The game is played with a small pebble (or piece of wood) and a game board drawn on the ground or a piece of paper. Players move their pebbles move one block forward, and the player who blocks their opponent's pebble wins. Neolttwigi[edit]Neolttwigi is Korean seesaw. Unlike Western seesaws where riders sit at each end, neolttwigi participants stand and jump (launching their partner into the air on the opposite side).[6] The game is popular among girls during traditional holidays and festivals such as Dano and Chuseok.[7]Jegichagi[edit]In jegichagi, similar to Western Hacky Sack, players kick a jegi and the player with the greatest number of kicks wins. Usually played in winter, jegichagi's name varies by region. The jegi, similar in appearance to a shuttlecock, is made from a coin and hanji (handmade Korean paper). The player kicks the jegi into the air, and continues kicking it to keep it off the ground. Switching the kicking foot is permitted. In a one- on- one game, the player with the higher number of consecutive kicks wins; in a group game, players stand in a circle and take turns kicking the jegi. A player who lets the jegi fall to the ground loses, and tosses it to the winner to kick. When the loser catches the jegi with his hands, they can rejoin the game.[8]References[edit]External links[edit].
