INTRODUCTION:

Traditional Filipino games or indigenous games in the Philippines (Tagalog: Laro ng Lahi)[1][2][3] are
games that have been passed down through generations and are typically played with indigenous
materials or instruments. Due to a lack of toys in the Philippines, children usually invent games that
require nothing but players. There are various types of Philippine Traditional Games that are suited for
kids, and the games also stand as one of the different culture and/or traditional games of the
Philippines. These games are not only enjoyable to play, but they are also beneficial to your health. This
is due to the fact that different games necessitate different abilities. These games are also significant in
Filipino culture.

1. Teks
Teks is a card game played by children in the Philippines. The objective of the game is that the player
makes a bet which side of the card will show after flicking or tossing the cards in the air. Once the cards
hit the ground, they are flipped upwards through the air (using the thumb and the forefinger). The
winner then collects the other players' cards. Teks were sold in "sari-sari" stores or by vendors near
schools. The cards, which measured 35mm x 46 mm, consisted of illustrations (comics) based on both
local and Western films and television programs. Each card was numbered in sequential order, following
a storyline.

2. Dampa

“Dampa” is a beloved traditional game that has been passed down through generations in the
Philippines. It is a game of skill and strategy played with rubber bands (known as “lastiko”) by two or
more players. The objective of the game is to unravel a stack of tangled rubber bands by striking an air
pocket formed using one’s palm against the ground.

3.Tumbang preso

One player or the tayà (the "It") guards the can. The objective is for the players to hit and knock down
the can with the slipper, and for the tayà to put back the can inside a small circle a few meters away
from the toe-line. When a player is tagged while recovering their slippers, they become the tayà.

The game is usually played in backyards, parks, or in streets when there is little traffic in an area.

word Palo (stick,pole) and Sebo (grease). Many people really enjoy this game.

bamboo pole.

Provinces of the Philippines. Long and straight bamboo poles are polished and greased, after which a
small bag containing the prize is tied to the top. The bag usually contains money, sweets, or toys.

GAME STATION:

Here are the methods to managing activities at game stations during a typical Filipino game
extravaganza:

-Arrange the various game stations for each game (Teks,Dampa, Tumbang Preso, Palosebo) in specific
areas. Ensure that each station is clearly labeled and that there is adequate space for participants to play
comfortably.

-Assign game facilitators: At each game station, have a facilitator or referee explain the rules, lead
participants, and ensure fair play. These facilitators can also keep score and offer assistance if necessary.

-Rotate participants: Set up a system in which participants can shift from one game station to another
after a particular length of time or after completing a round. This ensures that everyone has an equal
opportunity to play all of the games.

-Time management: To keep things on track, set a time restriction for each game or round. This will help
to keep the activities flowing and allow participants to participate in all of the games.

-Display a leaderboard: Have a visible leaderboard or scorekeeping system to indicate the cumulative
scores of event participants. This promotes competition and enthusiasm.

SCORING AND AWARDS:

1.Teks

The way of playing it is easy. You just need to toss and flick, the 3 or more different teks from each
player, and it's called a pamato. They should all fall into the ground. The one with a different flipped face
will going to win the round and will going to take all of those stake from each player.

2.Dampa
Players will alternately dampa the piled rubber bands on the ground. A player will win in the game if the
player is able to move an odd number of rubber bands beyond the service line and take rubber bands
that go beyond the line.

3.Tumbang preso

- The guard of the can is chosen by a game by throwing the slipper on the line, who the farthest is the It.

- The hitters should be ready to hit the can using a stone or a slipper but they will never cross the toe-
line.

- The slippers could retrieve if they could knock down the can. The It should be fast so to put the can
inside the circle and tag one of the hitter.

- The hitter that's been tag is the new It.

- When the can is outside the circle the hitters could knock down or kicked the can.

- if the hitters is not able to retrieve his slipper, the It will get it and place it under the can inside the
circle now he or she is the new guard.

- if the hitters is not able to retrieve his sleeper, another hitter could help him/her to be saved.

4.Palosebo

Contestants should try to climb the pole in turns to secure the prize, and anyone who fails to reach the
top is disqualified. The winner is the one who succeeds in reaching and untying the prize or retrieving
the flag.

REFLECTION:

They claim that these activities help children grow in mind, body, and character, as well as instill
patriotism and nationality in a child's mind, because they prefer that Filipino children play these games
as they did as children. Aside from the obvious sentimental benefits, others argue that it should be
preserved and taught to Filipino children since games like Teks,Dampa, Tumbang preso, Palosebo, and
others like them assist children improve their physical and motor skills, as well as their strategic
reasoning. Because most Filipino games are played in groups, they also emphasize sportsmanship,
teamwork, and self-confidence, as well as leadership abilities.
