Today is June 12, 2021 Before anything else, I would like to greet a "Happy Independence Day," to all Pilipino out there. We are celebrating annually to commemorate our Independence day. Again happy Independence Day to all Noypi out there.
Let me start like this, Have you ever remember those games you played way back in your childhood times?
Have you ever tried playing with your childhood friends?
Have you ever experience childhood?
Don't tell me that you don't?, All of us experience playing a variety of games with our friends in our childhood times. And now I encourage you to join me to reminisce those games we played in our childhood times.
Let's start with this one,
This game is what we call "Bahay Bahayan", I know that some us here experience this kind of play were we are trying to build a small house made of something different just like in this picture. The Bahay Bahayan is made of the leaf of a banana tree and coconut tree, and some of Bahay bahayan are made of something that we can see in surroundings such as cartoons, blanket and other materials. That is Bahay Bahayan.
have you ever experience the rule as a mother or a father in a Bahay bahayan before? If not, don't worry you're already a father or a mother now. LoL
Tumbang Preso/Tumbang Lata
The majority of Filipinos tried this kind of game in those childhood times. Using the one pair of sleeper hitting the can of sardines are the main requirements for this game. To those who experience this game you already know the rules of the game. This a very fun, it is not that late to try this one in your area again.
Saranggula
This what we call saranggula in Philippines and other dialect call this as "Tabanog or Manug ban on" this very known play and I know all of us know this. This very fun and relaxing game to play but I can't hide the fact that I don't know how to create a saranggula those childhood time.
Baril barilan
We all know that in our childhood time we have lot of dreams, and other child dream of becoming a policeman or an army someday. This picture shows a play of fighting using artificial guns by the use of something part of banana tree.
The other one was called as sumpak, it is made of a bamboo gun. This game is often played by male, male children feel fun by playing this game as if that they are a policeman hunting for criminals.
Your childhood is boring and incomplete if you never try to play cooking, In this picture, it shows that the child cooking something in the use of sardines can.
Cooking is a nice game to play. We know that some of us experience the cooking game in our childhood times, we feel happy with friends when we cook something in the use of kitchen toys.
KADANG KADANG
Have you try to play this kind of game? They call this as Kadang Kadang, I, personally I tried this lot of times but honestly speaking I don't know how to walk and to balance using that bamboo. It is nice to play and it is also easy to handle and to do to other but some people or child find hard to do this game I'm due to it's balancing skills in walking by the use of bamboo. This play is not only for child but some people especially for occasions used this game for a combination for fun.
Lot of games we played in our childhood times and one of the common games we play is playing of "Dyulins" Jolens? I'm not sure what is the English term of this but in my area we call this as Dyulins. It is a nice game to play with friends also.
Gameplay using a tire of motorcycle, a common game that plays often in provinces of the Philippines. The child uses a tire to push away while running. In that play, they feel better and happy.
TreeHouse
Some of our childhood friends often make a treehouse where we can play, It is very relaxing place above the tree but it is a bit risky to a child to play in a treehouse. Treehouse is a playing area of some child, and they feel better to make a house top of the tree.
They looks so happy in that picture, only few who experience this kind of play, it is very fun to do it and it needs an unbalance area of land where the child make a slide using a part of a coconut tree.
This is what we call "Kasing'' in my area but it is often called as "Trumpo" in Filipino terms. It is a creative game to play using that thing that keeps spinning.
All of those games to play that I mentioned above are the ones that make us happy during our childhood times. That time is unforgettable that one of our only problems is playing those games with our childhood friends. We are often get scolded by our parents because of playing all day.
Our childhood time is incomplete without playing with friends. We are all gaining moments through playing those games.
Childhood is a memorable time of all, simple things make us happy, less of problem, money is not an issue, playing every day makes us busy.
Thanks to be here :)
God bless you ;*
Comment down bellow if you have been experience one of those I mentioned games above in your childhood time.
