games that generations of Filipino children have
played. These games are integral to the Philippines' cultural heritage and are often played outdoors. They promote physical fitness, creativity, and social interaction among players. Some examples of "Laro ng Lahi" include: 1.Patintero - A team game where players must cross lines without being tagged. 2.Tumbang Preso - Involves knocking down a can with a slipper while avoiding being tagged. 3.Sipa - Similar to hacky sack, where players keep a small ball made of rattan in the air using their feet. 4.Luksong Tinik - A jumping game where players leap over hands arranged to form "thorns." 5.Piko - A hopscotch-like game involving jumping over squares drawn on the ground. Five Benefits of Striking and Fielding Games Improved Coordination: Players enhance their hand-eye coordination through activities like hitting a ball with a bat or catching a flying ball. Teamwork and Communication: These games require players to work together and communicate effectively, fostering strong teamwork skills. Strategic Thinking: Players develop strategic thinking by planning plays and making quick decisions during the game. Physical Fitness: Running, hitting, and fielding improve overall physical fitness, including cardiovascular health and muscular strength. Sportsmanship: Players learn the value of fair play, respect for opponents, and graciousness in both winning and losing situations. PERSEUS WILHELM MATTHEW S. FLORES
