Explain the

nature/background of
target games and striking
or fielding games
Traditional Filipino Games or Indigenous games
in the Philippines (known as Laro ng Lahi) are
games commonly played by children, usually
using native materials or instruments. In the
Philippines, due to limited resources of toys of
Filipino children, they usually come up on
inventing games without the need of anything
but the players themselves. Their flexibility to
think and act makes their games interesting and
challenging.

What are Games?
Games or educational games are activities
involving one or more people, on the move with
or without an object or implement, playing under
mutually agreed upon set of rules.

Games can be used for practice/self-testing skills,

cooperative play or competitive play. There are
four basic types of games: invasion/territory,
net/wall, striking/fielding and target.
What is the difference
between the target
games and the fielding
games?
TARGET GAMES
 TARGET GAMES

• Target Games are activities in which players

send an object toward a target while
avoiding any obstacles. By playing these
games, participants will learn the key skills
and strategies for games such as Croquet,
Golf, Archery, Curling and Bowling. Our
localized game like tamaang tao, tatsing,
tumbang preso.
TARGET FLATFORM

In target games, a player either throws,

slides, or strikes an object with the goal
of having the object land closest too or
in a designated target.
 WHAT SKILL DESCRIBES IN TARGET
GAMES?
Transferable skills are skills that can be acquired in
one game and utilized in other games as well. In
order for these skills to be transferable, the games
must be similar to each other. Games can be
grouped into categories or divisions so that
students can identify common features such as
tactics, rules, and skills more easily.
Skills that are common to target games are:
1. Players must be able to demonstrate hand-eye, foot-
eye accuracy
2. Players aim and shoot/throw/roll/etc. for a goal
target
3. Players utilize the synchronization of numerous body
parts when releasing the object used in the game.
4. Both gross and fine motor skills are used to alter the
flight/path of the released object
STRIKING /FIELDING GAMES
Striking/Fielding Games are
activities in which players score
points by striking an object and
running to designated playing areas
or prevent opponents from scoring
by retrieving the object and
returning it to stop the play.
Players on the batting team strike an object and attempt to
run between two points before the fielding team can
recuperate the object. The teams exchange roles after a
certain amount of hits or after a certain amount of players
have been retired from the game. Tactical problems related
to striking and fielding games include striking the object to
an open space, reducing space on defense, scoring points
and retiring players from the game. Examples of striking and
fielding games include baseball, cricket, softball and
kickball. Traditional games includes syato, basagang palayok
Skills needed in Striking/fielding games

•There are three types of skills

involved in striking/fielding
games: Locomotor, non-
locomotor, and manipulative
skills
1. Locomotor skills involve players being able to run,
slide, jump, and leap.

2. Non-locomotor skills involve stretching, bending,

and reaching for an object.

3. Manipulative Skills involve players being able to

send an object (both by throwing and by striking it),
receive (catch) an object, and retain (and run with) an
object.
 Target Game
Tamaang Tao is a game in which players on two teams
try to throw balls at each other while avoiding being
hit by themselves. There are many variations of the
game, but generally the objective of the game is to
eliminate the opposing teams by hitting them with a
ball, catching a ball thrown by a member of the
opposing team, or forcing them to move outside the
court boundaries when the ball is thrown at them.
Tatsing
Indigenous games, such as Tatsing, are Hispanic in origin. The
game was played by the Tagalogs of Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.
The word Tatsing was loaned from the English word "touching".
Each player located before the toe line will try to hit the bottle
caps out of the square without leaving the pamato inside the
square. Player 1 continuously hits the bottle caps until he loses his
turn by leaving his pamato inside the playing area. The player with
the most bottle caps at the end of the game, wins. The players will
decide on how big the square would be based on how many
pamato they have. In the pre-game, each player throws his
pamato on/near the toe line. The player whose pamato lands
on/nearest the toe line plays first and so on.
 Tumbang Preso-
Is a popular Filipino street game,these games promote healthful
style .They may also develop coordination and active outdoor play
among children .Furthermore ,they promote patriotism, Bonding,and
sportsmanship. The game needs 3 or more players.Each player is
provided with a large throw away object called “pamato ”t is usually a
slipper or a shoe. Place a semi- flattened empty tall can in upright
position 6 or 8 meters from the throwing line . The” taya”will guardthe
empty tin.The other player stand at the throwing line.they take turns
their throwing “pamato”at the empty milk tin ,to knock it down. the
After each throw , the player must recover his or her “pamato”.When
tagged,he or she becomes the “prisoner”in the next game .Winners of
the game are the players who are not tagged to become the “it”.
STRIKING /FIELDING GAME
Syato -variation of the name shatong is a game
with two teams and at least two players. It is
played in an open a space, preferably land so that
you can dig an elongated hole that you need in
order for your team to score the shatong points.
And two pieces of stick about an inch in diameter
one long, about a foot and the other short, about
half feet. Player A becomes the hitter and Player B
as the catcher.
 It is played outside on the ground where one digs a
small square hole (which is slanted), where they put
the small wood so that it sticks out. Player A hits the
wood with the stick so that it catches air enough to be
hit by the stick. The further the wood gets hit the more
points one gets (usually counted by the number of stick
length). Player B on the other hand has to anticipate
and catch the small piece of wood to nullify the points
and become his turn or looks forward to Player A to
miss hitting the wood.
Basagang Palayok -paluan ng Palayok is generally
known as Piñata. According to some scholarly
articles, the game may have originated in China.
During Marco Polo's stay in China, he found
Chinese fashioning of figures of cows and
buffaloes covered with colored paper and
adorned with harnesses and trappings. When the
Chinese knocked the figure with hard sticks,
seeds spilled forth. The figure is then burned and
the remains are gathered as a good luck charm.
In the Philippines, Filipinos used or buy clay pots and put
candies, money and other prizes on it. The pot is then
suspended by a string high enough for the children to reach.
The players of the game will then form a line. The smallest
player will be the first one to hit the pot. The player's eyes is
covered with handkerchief and then the facilitator will turn
him in his position three times. This is to make the player
confused with the location of the pot. When the player missed
the pot the next player will have his turn. When the player hits
the pot, the players will jump and tries to grab as many prizes
as they can.
