Lesson 1

Traditional games in the Philippines (Part 1A-C)

These 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. Because it is a tradition for Filipinos to
play in a bigger and spacious area, most games are usually played outside the house.
Some games are played or held during town fiestas in the provinces.

1. Agawan Base

Agawan Base is another traditional games in Philippines that is so popular

from the past 2-3 decades. In our old school in Elementary, these game is one of our
favorite, especially the boys.

There are two teams with two bases. How many players on each team depends
on the players. There are two bases which each team claims as their own. The goal
is to tag the other team's base without getting tagged. If you're tagged, you're
transferred to the other team and must be rescued. There are several variations in
which the rules are changed, in some, you can connect other items on the base so
you can easily touch the base. There are usually set points, such as first team to tag

4
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

the other team 5 times wins. You can tag other people who has touched their base
before you and are on the opposite team. If they've touched their base after you've
touched your base, they can tag you, and you can't tag them.

2. Agawang sulok

Catch and own a corner - The it or tagger stands in the middle of the ground.
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.

3. 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. The "taya" yells, "Game!" and races to tag any
player not found under a shade. The tagged player turns into a new "taya" of the
next game’s round.

5
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

The tagger (taya) tries to touch whoever is in the light. On the off chance
that touched, the player turns into the new tagger in the next game. To abstain from
being tagged, a player can remain in the shade. So it's simply an indistinguishable
splendidly from the principal "taya".

The "taya" may play the possum and shroud quickly to influence the players
under the shade to leave their frightful and search for him. At the point when a
significant number of the players are out in the outdoors, the "taya" abruptly runs
out and tag the player nearer to him

For numerous players, at least two individuals are generally allocated as

taggers to make the diversion much additionally energizing and fun.

4. Bahay-Bahayan

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.

6
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

5. Bahay-Kubo

"Bahay Kubo" literally translates as "Cubed House". The name comes from
when American teachers went to the Philippines to teach. They were fascinated by
the square houses that comprised of just one room. Yet this song is commonly
translated as "Nipa Hut" since these house are made with nipa palm leaves and
bamboo.

A hand-clapping game generally involving 4 people. They are split into two
pairs, a pair having 2 people facing each other, and all members from both pairs
facing the center (the two pairs being perpendicular to each other). Each pair then
does a hand clapping "routine" while singing the "bahay kubo." At the middle of the
song, each pair exchanges "routines" with the other.

6. Bati-Cobra

This is a hitting and catching game. This game is played outdoors only by
two or more players.

7
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

Bati-Cobra is a classic but popular game among the kids in the province. It is
a hitting and catching game. This game is played outside just by at least two players.
To play this game, two bits of bamboo sticks (one long, one short) are required. The
long one fills in as the bat and the short one fills in as the ball. Furthermore, a little
ground hole is required that makes a permanent base.

At least two players can play the game. To decide the main hitter, the player
that strikes the smaller stick farther from the base will be the first to hit.
A player acts as a hitter and stands inverse from the others players at a distance.
Tossing the smaller stick upwards and striking it hard plays the game. The other
player from a far distance tries to get the stick. Whoever gets it turns into the next
hitter. In the event that no one gets the stick the non-hitter may get the stick and
strike the more extended stick set around the hitter close to the base. A player turns
into the following hitter if the more drawn out stick is struck, however in the event
that not, the main hitter keeps playing.

Points can be score by measuring the distance from the base up to where the
smaller stick landed. The longer stick is used to measure the distance. Every length
of the stick is proportionate to one point. A layer that gets 100 points or more is the
champ.

This specific game might be or not recognizable to you, yet giving them a
shot—regardless of whether you're not a child any longer—wouldn't be so terrrible.
Also, the child within you will in the long run come up when the fun starts.

7. Bulong-Pari

8
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

"Bulong Pari" is a customary Philippine game which implies in English "Whisper

It To The Priest." As the name suggests, it is a whispering game prevalently referred
to in the Visayan district as "Honghonganay".
It requires two teams with no less than 5 individuals each. The more members, the
better. Two individuals will serve as the Leaders of each group while one player
assumes the role of the Priest who should remain at around 5 meters away from the
two groups.

The leader of Team A will approach the priest and whisper the name of one
of the individuals from Team B. The priest at that point gets out "Lapit!" or
"Approach!" to summon one player from Team B.
In the event that it happens to be a same individual specified before by the leader
of Team A, the priest will say "Bang!" and he or she turns into a detainee. If not, the
player who moved toward the priest will get a chance to specify the name of one of
the players of Team A.

The group with few or no players left becomes the loser.

Another variety of the game is otherwise called "Singsingan". As the name proposes,
a player assumes the part of a priest looking for a missing ring. He will then think
about who among the group of players the ring has. On the off chance that he finds
the correct individual, the priest will then squeeze the player's ears as a discipline.
This game might be or not recognizable to some of us, yet giving them a try,
regardless of whether you're a child no longer, would be so amazing. Additionally,
the child within you will in the long run come out when the fun starts.

8. Buwan-Buwan

Buwan-Buwan is a traditional Filipino game that enacts the lunar eclipse.

Players draw a circle on the ground representing the moon, and must stay inside this

9
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

circle. Meanwhile, one player acts as the "Bakunawa", the mythical giant sea serpent
who would eat the moon: he may not enter the circle, but must touch another player
who is inside it in order to switch places.

Buwan-Buwan has been all but forgotten by a generation of young, Filipino

urbanites weaned on gadgets and mass media, but BuwanBuwan, a Pinoy beatmakers
and electronic musicians collective, appropriate the concept of a game they in fact
never played as children, transforming it into a framework for their perpetual
creative exchanges, a take-off point for defining their identity as Filipino artists,
and above all, a common ground where they can all play.

9. Calahoyo

This is an outdoor game by two to ten players. Accurate targeting is the skill
developed in this game because the objective of each player is to hit the anak (small
stones or objects) with the use of the pamato (big, flat stone), trying to send it to
the hole.

A small hole is dug in the ground, and a throwing line is drawn opposite the
hole (approx 5 to 6 metres (16 to 20 ft) away from the hole). A longer line is drawn
between the hole and the throweing line. Each player has a pamato and an anak. All
the anak are placed on the throwing line, and players try to throw their pamato into
the hole from the throwing line. The Player whose pamato is in the hole or nearest
the hole will have the chance for the first throw. Using the pamato, the first thrower

10
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

tries to hit the anak, attempting to send it to the hole. Players take turns in hitting
their anak until one of them gets into the hole, with the players taking turns a
complete round and so on. The game goes on until only one anak is left outside the
hole. All players who get their anak inside the hole are declared winners, while the
one with the anak left outside the hole is the alila (loser) or
muchacho. Alila orMuchacho will be 'punished' by all the winner/s as follows:

Winners stand at the throwing line with their anak beyond line A-B (longer
line between hole and throwing line). The winners hit their anak with their pamato.
The muchacho picks up the pamato and returns it to the owner. The winners repeat
throwing as the muchacho keeps on picking up and returning the pamato as
punishment. Winners who fail to hit their respective anak will stop throwing. The
objective is to tire the loser as punishment. When all are through, the game starts
again.

10. Chinese Garter

Chinese garter is called “Chinese Jump Rope” in other countries. - It

originated from China in the 7th century. They play it before during the celebration
of Chinese new year. - It was passed from generation to generation and has become
popular even in other countries.

11
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

Two people hold both ends of a stretched garter horizontally while the others
attempt to cross over it. The goal is to cross without having tripped on the garter.
With each round, the garter's height is made higher than the previous round (the
game starts with the garter at ankle-level, followed by knee-level, until the garter
is positioned above the head). The higher rounds demand dexterity, and the players
generally leap with their feet first in the air, so their feet cross over the garter, and
they end up landing on the other side. Also, with the higher levels, doing cartwheels
to "cross" the garter is allowed.

Traditional games in the Philippines (Part 2, I - P)

11. Iring-Iring

Go round and round until the hanky drops .After the it is determined, he
or she goes around the circle and drops a handkerchief behind one of the players in
the circle. If this player notices the handkerchief, he or she has to pick up the
handkerchief and go after the it around the circle. The it has to reach the vacant
spot left by the player before the itis tagged; otherwise, the it has to take the
handkerchief and repeat the process all over again.

12. Juego de Anillo

13
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

A game notably Spanish in influence. The name literally translates to "game

of rings." It involves riding a horse while holding a dagger and "catching" rings hanging
from a tree or some other structure using the dagger.

13. Juego de Prenda

Game of looking for the missing bird. There is no limit to the number of
players that can play. Players sit in a circle with the leader in the middle. Each
player adopts a name of a tree or flower that is given by the leader. The leader
recounts the story of a lost bird that was owned by a king. He or she says, The bird
of the king was lost yesterday. Did you find it, Ylang-Ylang? The player who adopted
the name of the Ylang-Ylang tree at once answers that he or she has not found it,
so the leader continues to ask the other trees whether the bird has hidden in them.
If a player cannot answer after the third count, he or she is made to deposit a thing
he or she owns to the leader until the leader has been able to gather a lot of things
from the members.

14. Kapitang Bakod

Touch the post, or you're it! or hold on to the fence. When the it or
tagger is chosen, the other players run from place to place and save themselves
from being tagged by holding on to a fence, a post, or any object made of wood or
bamboo.

15. Langit-Lupa

14
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

Langit-lupa is chasing game, a variation of habulan where players can be

immune from being tagged as long they stand on an elevated surface.

Langit is the Filipino word for “heaven” and lupa is “earth”. The game’s name
describes how the chaser cannot reach players how are elevated from the “earth”.

Heaven and earth. One "It" chases after players who are allowed to run on
level ground (lupa) and clamber over objects (langit). The "It" may tag players who
remain on the ground, but not those who are standing in the "langit" (heaven). The
tagged player then becomes "It" and the game continues.

16. Lawin at Sisiw ("Hawk and Chicken")

This game is played by 10 or more players. It can be played indoors or

outdoors.

One player is chosen as the 'hawk' and another as the 'hen'. The other players
are the 'chickens'. The chickens stand one behind the other, each holding the waist
of the one in front. The hen stands in front of the file of chickens.

The hawk will 'buy' a chicken from the hen. The hawk will then take the
chicken, asks him/her to hunt for food and goes to sleep. While the hawk is asleep,
the chicken will return to the hen. The Hawk wakes up and tries to get back the
chicken he bought while the hen and other chickens prevent the hawk from catching
the chicken. If the hawk succeeds, the chicken is taken and punished. If the hawk
fails to catch the chicken, the hawk will try to buy another chicken.

15
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

17. Luksong-Baka

Jump over the cow. A popular variation of Luksong Tinik, 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.

18. Luksong-Tinik

16
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

Jump over the thorns. Two players serve as the base of the tinik (thorn) by
putting their right or left feet together (soles touching gradually building the tinik).
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.

19. Palosebo

Palo-sebo (from the Spanish stick/pole grease) is a traditional Filipino game.

A local variant of the greasy pole, it is likely derived from the Spanish cucaña.
This game is usually played by boys during a town fiesta or on special occasions in
the various Provinces of the Philippines.

Long and straight bamboo poles are polished and greased, after which a small
bag containing the prize is tied to the top. The bag usually contains money, sweets,
or toys. Sometimes a small flag is used instead of the actual prize, which is given to
the winner afterwards.

Contestants try to climb the pole in turns to secure the prize, and anyone who
fails to reach the top is disqualified. The winner is the one who succeeds in reaching
and untying the prize or retrieving the flag.

17
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

20. Patintero

Harangang taga. Try to cross my line without letting me touch or catch you.
Each member of the group who is it stands on the water lines. 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".

21. Piko

18
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

This traditional game of "Piko" or "Hopscotch" is among the popular

streetgames during my early age in 80's. Usually played by girls in elementary school
or after the school in streets. I remember almost all of my girl classmates playing
"piko" during recess or break-time, while some of us are busy in playing other
traditional games like "agawan base", "sipa", "teks", "goma" and many others
depending what is "in" (uso) that time. Even me and some boys have tried this kind
of game and its enjoyable. After school, some students still playing this game for
hour before going home. In street, its a common scene to see small girls playing this
kind of game like my sisters and girl friends. This is how much popular "piko" or
hopscotch during 80's.

Playing "piko" is very simple. All you need to have is marker usually "chalk"or
"crayola" or anything than can be use to draw lines in the concrete ground. Some
plays in plain ground, a sandy loam soil, and draws the mark using a stick. You need
also a "pamato" or pucks for this game, this is usually a flat stone or part of broken
pot.

The mechanics for this game is easy and can be played by single or by group. By
group, it should be started by finding out who will play first usually by jack-en-poy.
The first step is by throwing your pucks in 1st box then jumping with one leg for 2nd
and 3rd box, with left leg on 4rth box and right leg on 5th box, one leg on 6th
box, with left leg on 7th box and right leg on 8th box, one leg in 9th box, and two
legs on 10th box. In the 10th box you need to make pivot and repeat the process
going back, making a pause in 2nd box while getting your pucks in 1st box by bending
your body down with single leg then jumping out of the box. The next steps is
throwing your pucks in 2nd box up to 10th box and follow the same procedure in first
step. If the player's pucks or her body touches the line, it will be a turn for another
player. The one to complete until 10th box will declare winner of this game.

LESSON 3

Traditional games in the Philippines (Part 3, P-T)

22. Pitik-Bulag

This game involves 2 players. One covers his eyes with a hand while the other
flicks a finger (pitik) over the hand covering the eyes. The person with the covered
eyes gives a number with his hand the same time the other does. If their numbers
are the same, then they exchange roles in the game. Another version of this is that
the blind (bulag) will try to guess the finger that the other person used to flick
him/her.

22
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

23. Sambunot

Sambunot is a Philippine game which may be played outdoors by ten or more

players, but not to exceed twenty. The goal in the game is to get the coconut husk
out of the circle.

A circle is drawn on the floor, big enough to accommodate the number of players. A
coconut husk is placed at the center of the circle. The players position themselves
inside the circle. At the signal ″GO,″ players will rush to the center to get the coconut
husk. Players may steal the coconut husk from another player in an attempt to be
the one to take the husk put of the circle. A player who is successful in getting out
of the circle with the coconut husk wins, and the game starts again.

24. Sipa

23
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

Game of kick. The object being used to play the game is also called sipa. It
is made of a washer with colorful threads, usually plastic straw, attached to it. The
sipa is then thrown upwards for the player toss using his/her foot. The player must
not allow the sipa to touch the ground by hitting it several times with his/her foot,
and sometimes the part just above the knee. The player must count the number of
times he/she was able to kick the sipa. The one with most number of kicks wins the
game. Sipa is also the term used for the Filipino variant of Sepak Takraw.this game
is called"pambansang laro".

25. Taguan

Hide-and-seek is a popular children's game in which at least two players

(Usually at least three) conceal themselves in a set environment, to be found by one
or more seekers. The game is played by one player chosen (designated as being "it")
closing their eyes and counting to a predetermined number while the other players
hide. After reaching this number, the player who is "it" calls "Ready or not, here I
come!" or "Coming, ready or not!" and then attempts to locate all concealed players.

The game can end in one of several ways. the most common way of ending is
the player chosen as "it" locates all players; the player found first is the loser and is
chosen to be "it" in the next game. The player found last is the winner. Another
common variation has the seeker counting at "home base"; the hiders can either
remain hidden or they can come out of hiding to race to home base; once they touch

24
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

it, they are "safe" and cannot be tagged. In Ohio, a hider must yell "free" when he
touches base or he can still be tagged out. But if the seeker tags another player
before reaching home base, that person becomes "it", or "the seeker".

26. Takip-Silim

Twilight game, look out, cover yourself! or take-cover game. Participants

usually step on couches, hide under tables, or wrap themselves in curtains – much
to the dismay of neat-freak parents.

27. Ten-Twenty

25
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

A game involving 2 pairs, with one utilizing a stretched length of garter. One
pair faces each other from a distance and has the garter stretched around them in
such a way that a pair of parallel lengths of garter is between them.

The members of the other pair, then begin doing a jumping "routine" over the
garters while singing a song ("ten, twenty, thirty, and so on until one hundred). Each
level begins with the garters at ankle-height and progresses to higher positions, with
the players jumping nimbly on the garters while doing their routines.

28. Tsato

Two players, one flat stick (usually 3') and one short flat piece of wood (4" usually a
piece cut from the flat stick).

Player A hitter and Player B as the catcher. Played outside on the ground
where you dig a small square hole (slanted) where you put the small wood so it sticks
out.

Player A hits the wood with the stick so it catches air enough to be hit by the
stick.

The further the wood gets hit the more points you get (usually counted by the
number of stick length

Player B on the other hand has to anticipate and catch the small piece of
wood to nullify the points and become his turn OR looks forward to Player A to miss
hitting the wood.

29. Tumbang Preso

Tumbang Preso is a popular Filipino street game also known as Presohan.

The game requires 3 or more players. Each player is provided with a large
throw-away object (could be slippers or a shoe) called "pamato". A semi-flattened
empty tin or plastic container (the size of an 8 or 12 oz. tins) is placed in upright
position 6 or 8 meters from the throwing line. A player is drawn as the prisoner
(usually through a system like Jack en Poy). The prisoner will guard the empty tin or
container.

The other players stand at the throwing line. They take turns throwing their
"pamato" at the empty tin, trying to knock it down. As soon as the can is knocked
down, the prisoner must put back the tin in upright position before he can tag the
any of the players attempting to recover their "pamato". If the "pamato" becomes
too close to the tin in an upright position, so that the prisoner can step on both with
one foot, the owner of the "pamato" becomes the new "prisoner". The prisoner can
also tag the players while recovering their "pamato" outside the throwing line.

After each throw, a player must recover his "pamato". Should he be tagged by
the prisoner before he reaches the throwing line, he becomes the prisoner in the
next game.

30. Ubusan Lahi

One tries to conquer the members of a group (as in claiming the members of
another's clan). The tagged player from the main group automatically becomes an
ally of the tagger. The more players, the better. The game will start with only one
it and then try to find and tag other players. Once one player is tagged, he or she
then will help the it to tag the other players until no other participant is left. Some
people also know this a Bansai.

31. Teks

Teks or teks game cards. Filipino children collect these playing cards which contain
comic strips and texts placed within speech balloon. They are played by tossing them
to the air until the cards hit the ground.

28
 Module 2
Philippine Traditional Games and Sports

The cards are flipped upwards through the air using the thumb and the
forefinger which creates a snapping sound as the nail of the thumb hits the surface
of the card. The winner or gainer collect the other players' card depending on how
the cards are laid out upon hitting or landing on the ground.
