Traditional Filipino Games, Indigenous games in the Philippines,

or Laro ng Lahi are games commonly played by children, usually using


native materials or instruments.
PAUL MARIX REYES

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.

Laro ng Lahi was coined and popularized by the Samahang Makasining


(Artist Club), Inc. in 2012 with the help of National Commission for
Culture and the Arts and being used by the other Philippine Local
Government Unit, other organizations and other institution.
