Sungka

Sungka is a two-player turn-based board game where players compete to obtain more stones than the other. It is played on a long, wooden board that has 9 holes. Each player has seven smaller holes (houses) in front of them and two large holes (head) at each end of the board. Seven shells are distributed evenly among the 14 small pits.

Chinese Garter

This is a traditional Filipino game that involves jumping over a garter. The goal is to cross without having tripped on the garter. With each round, the garter’s height is made higher than the previous round.

Pityaw

This is a traditional Filipino game that makes use of two sticks, one longer than the other. The longer stick will serve as the bat and the shorter stick serves like the hit. Two teams are required to play this game, the hitter and the fetcher.

Reflections

Group 2 led the way in games such as: Lastiko Games, Chinese Garter, Pityaw, and Sungka. The heat was unbearable at that time but basking in the heat was well worth it for we filled the day with laugther, excitement, and of course sweat. The games we played together were very much enjoyable especially the times where we played Chinese Garter and Limbo Rock as a whole section. The variety of games we had that day allowed us to showcase the different skills we have from the agility and dexterity to mental and strategic skills. It was a day that made us reminisce of the times where we used to play all the time as kids.
