Due to limited resources of toys of Filipino children, the youngs used their creativity of creating and inventing games without the need of anything but the players themselves and make the game more interesting and challenging. Because it is a tradition for Filipinos to play in a bigger and spacious area, most games are usually played outside the house. Some games are played or held during town fiestas in the provinces.
RACE GAMES- The objective is to first move at the command of START and arrive first at the end of the track. RHYTHM GAMES - The outcome is determined by players’ musical skills combined with skills, e.g. chanting, clapping hands or playing an instrument to provide the beat or cadence for performance. SIMULATION GAMES- The outcome is determined by players’ ability to copy either one another or some other person or thing. This type of game is an attempt to simulate the decisions and processes inherent to some real-world situation. Most of the mechanics are chosen to reflect what the real-world consequences would be of each player action and decision. There are three different types of simulation:
- Mimicry games, where players copy actions, sounds or appearance of people, objects or animals from their environment.
- Imitation games, where players copy the skill performance of others, usually in an effort to become skillful themselves.
- Dramatic play, where players act out situations and to try different ‘roles’. VERBAL GAMES- The outcome is determined by players’ ability to combine their memory with their use of words. Verbal games are considered especially important means for practicing oral skills in those societies where writing has yet to develop. Perceptive awareness, association and logic are components of cognitive skills. These skills are extremely important. However, verbal games combine memory and strategy skills.
