GENERAL PATTERN: TAG GAMES
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
There are two teams with two bases. How many
players on each team depends on the players. The
goal is to tag the other team's base without getting
tagged. If you're tagged, you're transferred to the
other team and must be rescued. You can tag
other people who has touched their base before
you and are on the opposite team. If they've
touched their base after you've touched your base,
they can tag you, and you can't tag them.
GAME’S HISTORY
NO SPECIFIED HISTORY. Traditional Games in
the Philippines are diversions regularly played by
youngsters, normally utilizing local materials or
instruments. In the Philippines, because of restrict-
ed assets of toys of Filipino kids, they more often
than not come up on imagining diversions without
the need of anything other than the players

themselves. With the adaptability of a genuine
human to think and act makes the amusement
additionally fascinating and testing.
FACILITIES USED
 Open and spacious territory
HOW TO PLAY?
Members are separated into two groups with equal
number. There are two bases; one person will be
allotted to protect the base. The goal is for one
group to attempt and catch the base of the other by
achieving the other's home base item -symbolizing
each group, without getting tagged by the rivals.
The others may leave the base to run and attempt
to get another individuals from the other group or
to endeavor to take the rival's base. In the event
that you touch the base of your adversary to start
with, before individuals from that group label you,
you take their base and your group wins.
GENERAL PATTERN: COMBATIVE GAME
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Capture the Flag requires a playing field of some
sort. In both indoor and outdoor versions, the field
is divided into two clearly designated halves,
known as territories. Each side has a "flag" which
is most often a piece of fabric. The objective of the
game is for players to venture into the opposing
team's territory, grab and return the flag to their
territory without being tagged. Once they cross into
the opposing team's territory they are vulnerable.
GAME’S HISTORY
It is believed that the game of capture the flag has
roots to the battle field. During a battle, soldiers
knew that the war was over when the enemy’s flag
was captured. The amount of casualties or prison-
ers of war was not the determinant of the winning
side; rather, the war was declared officially over
only when the opposing regiment’s flag was se-
cured. During the American Civil War, soldiers
known as color bearers or color guards were ap-
pointed the duty of guarding the flag. Some even
risked their lives to save their regimental battle
flags. Color guards that successfully captured the

enemy flag or protected their own flags were
awarded the Medal of Honor.
FACILITIES USED
 Open and spacious territory
 Flag or any item easily carried
 Speed and Strategy
HOW TO PLAY?
Different versions of Capture the Flag have differ-
ent rules, both for handling the flag and for what
happens to tagged players. A player who is tagged
may be eliminated from the game entirely, be
forced to join the opposing team, sent back to their
own territory, or be placed in "jail" with or without a
guard. The jail is a predesignated area of the
group's territory which exists for holding tagged
players and is normally towards the back of the
group's territory. However, players from their own
team may free them from jail by means of a jail-
break. If all players on one team are jailed, then
the other team will have all the time they want to
find the other team's flag. After a player is tagged
while carrying the flag, it is returned to its original
place. When the flag is captured by one player,
they're not safe from being tagged. Sometimes, the
flag holder may not be safe at all, even in their
home territory, until they obtain both flags, thus
ending the game, but they have the option to
return to their side or hand it off to a teammate.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Hopscotch is a popular playground game in which
players toss a small object into numbered triangles
or a pattern of rectangles outlined on the ground
and then hop or jump through the spaces to
retrieve the object.
GAME’S HISTORY
Hopscotch began in ancient Britain during the early
Roman Empire. The original hopscotch courts
were over 100 feet long and used for military train-
ing exercises. Roman foot-soldiers ran the course
in full armor and field packs to improve their foot-
work, much the same way modern football players
run through rows of truck tires today. Roman
children drew their own smaller courts in imitation
of the soldiers, added a scoring system and
"Hopscotch" spread throughout Europe. he word
"London" is often written at the top of hopscotch
courts as a reminisce of the Great North Road.

FACILITIES USED
 Chalk, cue balls, or pieces of stones
 Spacious area
HOW TO PLAY?
Each player has a marker, usually a stone. The
first player tosses his marker into the first square.
The marker must land completely within the desig-
nated square without touching a line or bouncing
out. If not, or if the marker lands in the wrong
square, the player forfeits his turn. If the marker
toss is successful, the player hops through the
court beginning at square one. Side by side
squares are straddled, left foot landing in the left
square and right foot in the right square. Single
squares must be hopped into on one foot. For the
first single square, either foot may be used.
Subsequent single squares must alternate feet.
Squares marked "Safe" are neutral squares and
may be hopped through in any manner without
penalty. When the player reaches the end of the
court, he turns around and hops back through the
court, hopping through the squares in reverse or-
der and stopping to pick up his marker on the way
back. Upon completing the sequence, the player
continues his turn by tossing his marker into
square two. If, while hopping through the court in
either direction, the player steps on a line, or loses
his balance and falls, his turn ends. He does not
get credit for completing the current sequence and
must start that sequence again on his next turn.
First player to complete one course for every
numbered square on the court wins.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Solitaire is any tabletop game which one can play
by oneself. The term "solitaire" is also used for sin-
gle-player games of concentration and skill using a
set layout of tiles, pegs or stones rather than cards.
GAME’S HISTORY
The game is most likely German or Scandinavian
in origin. The game became popular in France in
the early 19th century, reaching Britain and Ameri-
ca in the latter half. The earliest known recording of
a game of patience occurred in 1788 in the Ger-
man game anthology Das neue Königliche L'Hom-
bre-Spiel. Before this, there were no

literary mentions of such games in large
game compendiums such as Charles Cotton's The
Compleat Gamester (1674) and Abbé
Bellecour's Academie des Jeux (1674). Patience
was first mentioned in literature shortly af-
ter cartomantic layouts were developed circa 1765,
suggesting a connection between the two. This
theory is supported by the name of the game in
Danish and Norwegian, kabal(e). An 1895 account
describes a variant of the game exclusively used
for cartomancy. Other books about patience written
towards the end of the 19th century were by H. E.
Jones (a.k.a. Cavendish), Angelo Lewis (a.k.a. Pro-
fessor Hoffman), Basil Dalton, Ernest Bergholt, and
Mary Whitmore Jones.
FACILITIES USED
 A standard deck of 52 playing
cards.
HOW TO PLAY?
Top cards of the tableau piles and the draw pile
are available for play. Look at the tableaus to see if
you have an Ace showing. If so use it to start a
foundation. Move cards from one tableau to anoth-
er by arranging them in descending order and with
alternating colors. For example, move a black 5
onto a red 6 or a red Queen onto a black King.
When you remove the last face up card from a
tableau pile flip over the top face down card
making it the new face up card. Sort through the
draw stack when there are no longer cards to play
on the tableaus. Move cards to the foundations as
soon as possible. The game is won when all cards
are moved into the 4 foundations.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Bati-Cobra is a hitting and catching game. This
game is played outdoors only by two or more play-
ers. To play this game, two pieces of bamboo
sticks (one long, one short) are required. A player
acts as a batter and stands opposite the others
players at a distance.
GAME’S HISTORY
NO SPECIFIED HISTORY. The name was derived
from the behavior of the small stick when it was hit
by the longer stick. In view of the lightness and
size of the small stick, it rolls on air before it strikes
the ground. The Visayans called this "Pityaw" due
to the use of short/small stick with a longer stick.
The objective of this game is to hit the smaller stick
harder in order to earn many points. However, this
is known as "Bati Cobra" among the Tagalogs.

FACILITIES USED
 Piece of stick 60.96 centimeters
long which serves as the bat and
another piece of stick 15.25
centimeters long which serves as
the ball.
HOW TO PLAY?
To play this game, two bits of bamboo sticks (one
long, one short) are required. The long one fills in
as the bat and the short one fills in as the ball. Fur-
thermore, a little ground hole is required that
makes a permanent base. At least two players can
play the game. To decide the main hitter, the play-
er that strikes the smaller stick farther from the
base will be the first to hit. A player acts as a hitter
and stands inverse from the other players at a dis-
tance. Tossing the smaller stick upwards and strik-
ing it hard starts the game. The other player from a
far distance tries to get the stick, whoever gets it
turns into the next hitter. Points can be scored by
measuring the distance from the base up to where
the smaller stick landed. The longer stick is used to
measure the distance. Every length of the stick is
proportionate to one point. A layer that gets 100
points or more is the winner.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Charades is a game of pantomimes: you have to

"act out" a phrase without speaking, while the other
members of your team try to guess what the
phrase is. The objective is for your team to guess
the phrase as quickly as possible.

GAME’S HISTORY
A charade was a form of literary riddle popularized
in France in the 18th century where each syllable
of the answer was described enigmatically as a
separate word before the word as a whole was
similarly described. The term charade was bor-
rowed into English from French in the second half
of the eighteenth century, denoting a "kind of riddle
in which each syllable of a word, or a complete
word or phrase, is enigmatically described or dra-
matically represented”.
FACILITIES USED
 Stopwatch or timing device
 A notepad and pen for scorekeeping
 Blank slips of paper
 Container for the blank slips
HOW TO PLAY?
Divide players into even teams. Once teams are
decided, have each team head to a separate room,
or at least opposite sides of the same room.

Write phrases or words on slips of paper. Write
out common words or phrases on slips of paper
with a pen or pencil. Keep these secret! These
phrases will be given to the opposite team to draw
at random when it’s their turn.
Fold slips in half and put them in a container.
Put these slips in a container and rejoin the other
team in the room you’ll play the game. Exchange
containers, but don’t look at the slips of paper.
Select the starting team with a coin toss and set
a time limit. Flip a coin to determine which team
goes first (or something similar). Each round
usually has a set amount of time, but you can ad-
just this. Have the starting player draw a slip. The
team that won the coin toss starts things off. They
should choose a single player to act out a slip first.
Convey general info to help your team narrow
down their guesses. Things like the category and
the number of words in the phrase will give your
teammates a better idea of where to focus their
guesses. Act things out until your team gets it right
or you run out of time. The more hints you give
your team with gestures, the more likely they’ll be
to figure it out. Play until you run out of slips or
there is a clear winner.
