TITLE: TRADITIONAL FILIPINO GAMES
INTRODUCTION  Traditional Filipino games are games commonly played by
children, usually using native materials or instruments. In
the Philippines, due to limited resources of toys
for Filipino children, they usually invent games without the
need of anything but the players themselves. Their games'
complexity arises from their flexibility to think and act.They
playthings out of anything they can find around their homes
or in the neighborhood. Often, too, they just invent games that
don`t require anything but the players themselves. Traditional
Filipino games were a common pastime, especially during
holidays and summertime. You would see young children and
teenagers running around the neighborhood, giggling,
screaming and sometimes arguing over rules of the play or
who earned more points.

Discussion/Situational Analysis/Content etc.
LuksongTinik
 - is a popular game in the Philippines. It is originated in Cabanatuan city, Philippines,
played by two teams with equal numbers of players. Each team designates a leader,
the nanay (mother), while the rest of the players are called anak (children). The players
chosen to be nanay are usually the ones who can jump the highest. The game involves
players sitting on the ground and other players jumping over parts of their body.
Yoyo
- was used by 16th century hunters in the Philippines. They would throw a rock attached on a
20-foot long rope or string at an animal's legs. Because of the weight of the stone, the rope
would get entangled in the animal's legs which would allow the hunter to close in for a kill.
-Pedro Edralin Flores is widely considered as the first yo-yo maker in the US and with
his Flores yo-yo created the start of an international craze.
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.g. nearest to the moon, wings or chest). 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. The person is out for the round if they stand with both feet.
Patintero
- is a Filipino game also known as tubigan. The object of the game is to block (harang) the
other team’s players from passing.
- The playing court is shaped like a long box divided into three parts, with a center wall
running across. For as long as anyone can remember, the lines for the patintero court have
been drawn with water.
Bahay- bahayan
- players make imaginary houses using materials like curtains, spare woods, ropes, or other
things that can be used to build the houses. They will assign each individual what they wanted
to be, and then act as if it is real.
Bahay Kubo
- is a traditional Tagalog Filipino folk song credited to have been written by 1997 National
Artist for Music Leon, that has been passed down through generations.
- The song is about a Bahay Kubo, a house made of bamboo with a roof of nipa leaves,
surrounded by different kind of vegetables, which was usually sang by Filipino school children
and as familiar as the Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star of the Western kids. It is
well known by Filipinos of all ages.
Sungka
- Southeast Asian mancalas are a subtype of mancala games predominantly found in Southeast
Asia. They are known as congka or congklak in Indonesia, congkak in Malaysia and Brunei,
and sungkâ in the Philippines. They differ from other mancala games in that the player's store
is included in the placing of the seeds. Like other mancalas, they vary widely in terms of the
rules and number of holes used.
- The oldest mancala game boards were found in a ruined fort of Roman Egypt and date back
to the 4th century AD. The original route of dispersal of mancalas into Southeast Asia is
unknown. It may have originally entered Southeast Asia via Austronesian trading routes
with South Asia.
Tong-its or Tongits
- is a 3 player rummy type of game that gained popularity in the 1990s in Luzon,the largest
island of the Philippines.
- This game is played using the standard deck of 52 cards. Its origin remains unknown but it
was believed to have been popularized by the Ilocanos, and which was first played in
Pangasinan in the mid 1980's which they call "Tung-it". The game rules and the very name can
be associated with the American card game,Tonk, and also share its similarities
of Mahjongand Poker.
Pusoy/ Pusoy dos
- (or Filipino poker, also known as chikicha or sikitcha), a variation of big two, is a popular
type of "shedding" card game with origins in the Philippines. The object of the game is to be
the first to discard one's hand by playing them to the table. If one cannot be first to play all
cards, then the aim is to have as few cards as possible. Cards can be played separately or in
certain combinations using poker hand rankings. Games of Pusoy Dos can be played by three
or four people.
