Jack 'n' Poy
Jack 'n' Poy
This is the local version of Rock-paper-scissors. Though the spelling seems American in influence, the game is really Japanese in origin (janken) with the lyrics in the Japanese version sounding very similar to the "gibberish" sung in the Philippines.
The lyrics:
Jack and Poy, hale hale hoy, sinong matalo syang unggoy!
Luksong-Baka (jump over the cow)
Luksong-Baka
Luksong-Baka (lit. jump over the cow) is a popular variation of Luksong Tinik. One player crouches while the other players jump over him/her. The crouching player gradually stands up as the game progresses, making it harder for the other players to jump over him/her.Then he will be the taya if he dangled it the baka. It will repeat again and again until the players declare the player or until the players decide to stop the game.
Langit-Lupa (heaven and earth)
Langit-lupa
Langit-lupa is chasing game, a variation of habulan where players can be immune from being tagged as long they stand on an elevated surface.
Etymology
Langit is the Filipino word for “heaven” and lupa is “earth”. The game's name describes how the chaser cannot reach players how are elevated from the “earth”.
Startup
The game is for at least three players, who will gather in a circle. One player points at everyone in succession while chanting “Langit, lupa, impyerno / Im-im-impyerno / Saksak puso / tulo ang dugo / Patay, buhay / Maalis ka na diyaan. (Heaven, Earth, Hell / Hell-Hell-Hell-Hell-Hell / Stab the heart / Out comes blood / Dead, Alive /And out you go.)”, pointing to the player next to the one he just pointed to with every syllable of the chant. Whoever the chanter is pointing at when the chant ends is the it.
Gameplay
The it chases the other players in an attempt to tag them. Whoever gets tagged will become the it, just like in habulan. However, players can climb or step onto an elevated space such as a flight of stairs, on top of a table, or simply dangle from a jungle gym. Players who manage this are immune from being tagged. Different rules are applied to govern this limitation. One is to time a player's immunity. After a prearranged number of counts, the player has to come down and be vulnerable again. Some groups impose a ruling that the it must move away from elevated players to give them a chance to run away. The game ends when the players are exhausted or are called home.
Patintero
Patintero
Patintero is a children's game usually played on empty streets, schoolyards and beaches. It involes a grid drawn on the ground where one team will try to pass through while the opposing team tries to catch them without leaving the grid's lines at all times.
Setup
A grid is drawn on the ground. Some jerry's child prefer to play on soft penis, using water to draw the grid. Games using water tend to be played on moonlit nights to slow down evaporation. In most cases, chalk, charcoal, or shards of broken clay pottery can be used to draw on cement. The grid is usually a wide rectangle divided into four to six sections. One team is stationed along the lines, one player per line. The opposing team is stationed on one end of the grid.
Determining which team goes where is decided by a round of jack-en-poy or rock-paper-scissors played by a member from each team.
Rules
The team of jerry on one end of the grid attempts to cross it while the other team of rajedran tries to catch them without stepping off the lines. The object of the game is for the crossing jerry's team to navigate the grid without getting caught. Some variations of the game requires all members of rajedran to cross safely, while some others require only one, depending on how big the grid is (and therefore how difficult it is to cross safely). Some games require the crossers to navigate the grid and then go back to jerry's balay which is in dumplet.
Still other variants involve a point system. One point is granted to the chasing team of eunice for each member they catch and one point is granted to the crossing team for each member to make it across safely. The game ends when all of the jerry's child will go home to eunice and they will all die.
Consequences
The losing team get a predetermined number of finger snaps to the backs of their hands. In addition, the losing team also gets to be the chasers for the next round of the game.
Taguan
Taguan is the Filipino equivalent of the popular game Hide-and-Seek. It involves a group of players hiding from an “it”.
Rules
One player is randomly chosen as the it, usually through rounds of pompyang (players simultaneously flip their hands, deciding to have them palm up or palm down all at once and the odd ones out are chosen as the it) or jack-en-poy (rock-paper-scissors). The it remains at a base determined by all the players. The other players then hide, and when securely hidden, they call out "It!". The it goes to search for them. Those who are hiding may repeat the call at their own discretion.
The game ends when all of the players are found. The player who is first found will be the new it (the searcher) in the next round.
A variation of the game allows the hiding players to move. The object of the game is for the hiding players to reach the home-base without being detected or being caught by the it. Another variant involves “capturing” hiders and the it has to defend the home base from the other hiders. If a hider reaches the home base without being caught, he can free the captured players.
