PRESENTATION OUTLINE
CULTURAL VALUES OF INDIGENOUS GAMES
In the Philippine society, playing games is an important part of growing up. Games play an important role in the learning process of a child. These games are often played during or before school, PE time. They are also sometimes played in fiestas or wakes. The games promote nationalism, strengthen family ties, involve the community in worthwhile activities and keep children in school through sports.
HOW ARE THEY PLAYED:
Patintero:
1.There are two teams required to play this game, the running and blocking team, to determine who’s who play rock paper scissors and the winner is the running team.
2. To play patintero you need a wide-open space and a play area. The play area will be divided into 4 squares and in those four squares is where the blockers will be placed.
3. The main objective is for each player on the running team to get across the playing field without getting touched by the blockers. If the blockers do touch the one of the players of the running team then that player is out.
HOW ARE THEY PLAYED:
Taguan
1. They will use "Maiba Taya" to determine who will be the 'it'.
2. The 'it' will then recite a chant, and afterwards counts from 1-10 to warn the other players that they should be hiding already before he tags another player to become the 'it'.
3. Once the 'it' spots one of the players, he has to shout "BOOM!" And caught player’s name and then he has to run back and touch his “base,” or the place where he chanted and counted.
4. Players must outrun the 'it' and touch the base. The last person to touch the base becomes 'it'.
HOW ARE THEY PLAYED:
Sungka
1. Place 7 pieces in each circle. Each player owns one row, and each row has 7 circles. Leave the 2 larger holes or commonly known as "home or base" empty.
2. Choose who will the the first and second player. The left hole for each player will be his/her head. They then will choose if they want to play simultaneously or alternate. But you can only go simultaneously on the first turn and the rest alternately.
3. This turn will now require to get all the pieces from one hole to any row of the player.
HOW ARE THEY PLAYED:
Sungka
3. Distribute one pice on each hole from the first player's row to the second player's row in a counter-clockwise direction. But remember not to put on the opponents home or base.
The hole where the last piece falls allows the first player to use all the pieces on that particular hole for the next turn, and continues. If the last piece falls on the first player's own row, he or she also gets the pieces of the hole opposite to it, which is owned by the opponent. If the last piece falls on the player's own home, then he or she earns another turn.
HOW ARE THEY PLAYED:
Sungka
4. Continue the game until one player loses ALL pieces on his or her own row and head. The player automatically loses upon losing all of his or her owned pieces. The player automatically loses upon losing all of his or her owned pieces.
If all the hollows on a player's row are empty, but the head still has pieces on it, the winner is determined by counting the number of pieces owned by each player. The one with the greatest number of pieces wins.
