Remember this Filipino Game?
Another traditional Filipino Game is Luksong Baka (Jumping over the cow), it involves a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 10 players. The players jump over the person called the “Baka”, and the main goal of the players is to successfully jump over the “Baka” without touching or falling over him/her.
One player would be called “Taya” (It’) or in this game the “Bakang lala” (Cow), the players should avoid contact or falling over the “Baka” player while jumping over. All players are to jump over the “Baka” until all the players have jumped. Once the 1st set of jumping over the “Baka” is done, the “Baka” player’s position will slowly rise-up after jumping over the “Baka” player. Only the hands of the jumper may touch the back of the person who is bent over. If a player fails to avoid contact or fall over the “Baka”, he/she will replace the “Baka” player with a bend-down kneeling position and the game continues until the all players decides to end the game.
