Kadang-Kadang
Kadang-Kadang, which is also known as
Tiyakad in tagalong was first played in Cebu inthe year 1969. Kadang-kadang is a traditional Filipino game which is played during larong lahi or recreational activities.Kadang-kadang which also means “simple play” is an outdoor game that is played usinga bamboo stilt. To play the kadang-kadang, you need a pair of bamboo poles with equallengths and a stepladder of foot size to serve as the platform for the player’s feet. Thebamboo has a height of 10 feet from the ground. But in the present era, Filipinosmodified the height of the bamboos making it higher.Primarily, kadang- kadang is a racing game. Before starting the game, players shouldform two parallel lines with a distance of 100 meters apart to serve as the starting andfinish line and then mark every 25 th meter of each line. The game needs four players in each team. The players are set in a way that the firstplayer stands behind the starting line, while the second player will stand behind the25 th mark of the line, the third player behind the 50 th mark, and the fourth player standsbehind the 75 th mark. The rule of the game is just simple. On the signal “get set”, the player stands at thestarting line with his stilts. At the signal “go” the first player mounts on his stilts andstarts walking to the 25 th mark. After reaching the mark, he gets off from the stilts andhand it down to the second player who will do the same while going to the 50 th mark. Thesame pattern goes with the third and the fourth player until they reach the finish line. Aplayer loss if he gets off the stilts twice before reaching the finish line, or gets off the stiltafter two steps (Propagate Philippine Indigenous Game).In the game kadang-kadang, the players will be able to build up their concentration,teamwork, and sportsmanship. In this game, balance is an important element. If youknow how to balance yourself, you will be able to perfectly play this kind of game.Kadang-kadang is not only for recreational activities. It could also be played during freetime when you are with your playmates, friends, and families. Rules Two pairs of coconut stilts are needed. This is made by boring a hole through one of the "eyes" of a half of the coconut shell. A string, about one or two meters long (depending on the height of the player) ispulled through the hole and a big, sturdy knot is tied at the bottom end inside the shell.The first player who reaches finish line wins the game..
