Traditional games in the Philippines
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2021) |
Traditional Filipino games or indigenous games in the Philippines (Tagalog: Laro ng Lahi)[1][2][3] are games that are played across multiple generations, usually using native materials or instruments. In the Philippines, due to limited resources for toys, children usually invent games that do not require anything but players. There are different kinds of Filipino traditional games which are well-suited for kids, and the games also stand as one of the different cultural and traditional games of the Philippines. Due to the variety of skills used in these games, they serve an important purpose in the physical and mental development of Filipino children. These games are also an important part of Filipino culture.
Laro ng Lahi was coined and popularized by the Samahang Makasining (commonly known "Makasining")[4] with the help of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts,[5] Philippine Local Government Units, other organizations and other institutions.[who?] Imparting these Filipino games to young Filipinos is one of the organization's main activities.[6][7] The Makasining also created time-based scoring for patintero, syatong, dama, lusalos and holen butas.
Traditional Philippine games, such as luksong baka, patintero,[8] piko, and tumbang preso are played primarily as children's games.[9][10][3] The yo-yo, a popular toy in the Philippines, was introduced in its modern form by Pedro Flores[11] with its name coming from the Ilocano language.[12]
