I want to be a part of KUBŌ22 and teach the new generation of kids how to play some popular traditional Larong Pinoy while they learn the Filipino culture at the same time. Perhaps some adults will also participate to learn about these Filipino traditions.
Sipa
Sipa (literally, „kick“) is the Philippines‘ traditional native sport which predates Spanish rule. The game is related to Sepak Takraw. Similar games include Footbag net, Footvolley, Bossaball and Jianzi.
The game is both played by two teams, indoors or outdoors, on a court that is about the size of a tennis court. The teams consist of one, two or four players in each side. The aim of the game is to kick a soft ball made out of rattan fragments, back and forth over a net in the middle of the court. The sport requires speed, agility and ball control. (Source: Wikipedia)

Luksong-tinik
Luksong tinik (English: „jumping over thorns“) is a popular game in the Philippines. It is originated in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, played by two teams with equal numbers of players. Each team designates a leader, the nanay (mother), while the rest of the players are called anak (children). The players chosen to be nanay are usually the ones who can jump the highest. The game involves players sitting on the ground and other players jumping over parts of their body.
Basically you just jump over people’s feet which is meant to be the tinik which one foot/hand of the 2 players sitting on the ground will be added after all players have jumped the 1st round
In Myanmar, a similar game is known as Hpan Khone and is played mostly by girls. (Source: Wikipedia)

Luksong-baka
Luksong baka (English: Jump over the Cow) is a traditional Filipino game that originated in Bulacan. It involves a minimum of three players and a maximum of 10 players, and involves them jumping over the person called the baka, or „cow“. The main goal of the players is to successfully jump over the baka without touching or falling over the baka. (Source: Wikipedia) In the german speaking world also known as „Bockspringen“.
Sungka
Southeast Asian mancalas are a subtype of mancala games predominantly found in Southeast Asia. They are known as congklak, congkak, congka, and dakon in Indonesia, congkak in Malaysia and Brunei, and sungkâ in the Philippines. They differ from other mancala games in that the player’s store is included in the placing of the seeds. Like other mancalas, they vary widely in terms of the rules and number of holes used.
