For this activity, we thought about sharing with our kids the games that we
played in our day. Indeed, the kids of today have so much more that compete
for their attention, mostly of the electronic kind. And it's not so different
in the Philippines as it is here. It is just sad to think that today's
generation might be missing out on the great games that occupied us on many
weekends and summer breaks. It was loads of fun, it encouraged interaction,
enabled us to soak in the sunshine, and was convenient form of exercise!
The weather did not cooperate unfortunately, so we held the activity in an
indoor venue. We started it off with the popular Tumbang Preso, a game which
required a medium-sixed can, a pair of slippers per kid, and any number of
players. Here is a short video explaining how the game is played:
The rules were quite easy to follow and soon the kids got the gist of it.
