Traditional Filipino Games
1. Patintero
Patintero requires a combination of agility and diskarte from both the two teams.
Each team takes turns to be guards and runners. The objective is for the runners
to move forward and cross the lines without getting tagged by the guards.
2. Tumbang Preso
The game mechanics are simple. You onl y need a tin can (which most probably
is canned corned beef you ate last night) and a slipper. The “it” guards the can
while other players take turns in hitting the can. The game of tag starts once the
can gets knocked down.

3. Piko
Piko is the Filipino version of hopscotch. You usually use chalk, charcoal, or stone
to draw the boxes. These boxes have different levels in which you have to throw
your pamato in. The pamato is usually stone, but you’ll see different variants,
from keys, keychains, bottlecaps, even slippers, etc.
Expect that your playmates will distract you from your balance by shouting
randomly or making funny faces at the side. We’re that competitive, and we know
it.
4. Agawan Base
This is a popular game in elementary schools during recess time. The game of
minds starts once you settle the teams and assign the base (which are usually
trees).

The objective is to touch the base of the other team without getting caught by
them. Once you get caught, you become a prisoner. It becomes sad when the
bell rings, and none of your team members were able to rescue you.
Filipino kids sure do like jumping and galloping around. And so, we have
the games Luksong Baka (“jump over a cow”) and Luksong Tinik (“jump over
thorns”).
In Luksong Baka, the “cow” will crouch down as other players jump over him.
The height gradually rises as the level goes up. In Luksong Tinik, the mechanics
are similar, except two players stack their feet and hands to make a rising tower.
When the player fails to leapfrog, he becomes the new “cow” or “tinik.”

The Benefits of Traditional Filipino Games
With conventional Filipino games, children develop the virtue of sportsmanship, as they
will learn to accept responsibilities when called out.
Thus, playing traditional games with peers will train them to control their impulses when
under pressure and display patience, respect, and cooperation with playmates.
According to a study, children today lack social skills compared to previous generations.
Children who are cooped up at home with their gadgets have fewer opportunities for
social interaction. As a consequence, kids become socially inept and have difficulty
conversing with others.
Playing games with peers, however, forces children to interact and mingle, enhancing
their social skills as a result.
Sedentary lifestyles that keep kids glued to screens for hours can damage their health.
Playing with siblings or peers will keep them physically active and healthy.
Playing traditional games with peers involves following the rules of the game. Children
are required to admit blunders and take responsibility when making mistakes.

5. Develop children’s sense of responsibility, teamwork, and cooperation
Traditional Filipino games require each player to contribute to the team’s success. As a
result, a sense of responsibility, teamwork, and cooperation is developed at an early
age.
They will also learn what it means to follow directions and adhere to guidelines,
enabling them to practice the discipline of following the rules.
Considering all the behavioral issues children face today, let’s make traditional games
part of their daily routine to shape them into the person we aspire them to be.
