Patintero is a traditional Filipino game played outdoors. It involves two teams: one team acts as "guards" while the other tries to cross the court and back without being tagged. The court is a rectangular grid marked with lines, and the guards position themselves along these lines.
To win, the runners must successfully navigate through the grid while avoiding the guards. Guards try to tag the runners as they cross the lines. If all runners are tagged or fail to cross within a set time, the roles are switched. The game emphasizes agility, strategy, and teamwork.
Tumbang preso ("knock down the prisoner"), also known as tumbang lata ("knock down the can") or bato lata ("hit the can [with a stone]"), is a Filipino traditional children's game. The game involves throwing a slipper at a can or bottle, which one player - the tayà - attempts to guard. The game is usually played in backyards, parks, or streets when there is little traffic in an area.
Agawan Base is a tag-style game played between two teams on a beach or grassy area. Each team defends a base marked by a shallow hole or object. To capture the opposing base, a player must touch it without being tagged. Players take turns leaving their base to lure opponents, then try to tag them before returning home. Tagged players become prisoners until rescued by.
The objective of the game is for the player to successfully enter, jump (meaning no stepping, tangling, or knotting into the rope), and exit over the rope that is being turned overhead continuously. The two ends of the rope must be held by two persons and must be turned overhead at moderate speed.
Materials: Rope at least 3 meters (est. 9 ft.)
Sipa (literally, "kick") is the Philippines' traditional native sport which predates the Spanish rule. The game is related to Sepak Takraw. Similar games include Footbag net, Footvolley, Bossaball and Jianzi.
The game is both played by two teams, indoors or outdoors, on a court that is about the size of a tennis court. The teams consist of one, two or four players in each side. The aim of the game is to kick a soft ball made out of rattan fragments, back and forth over a net in the middle of the court. The sport requires speed, agility and ball control. A point is awarded every time a player kicks the ball, the more the player kicks the ball, the more the points accumulate. Rules attached to the game are very minimal and even children can play, but the ratan ball version is preferred more for formal games.
