 * Summer then was the heat flushing us out to the street. There was no school to regiment our day, only “tubig-tubig,” “bato-lata,” “Japanese game,” and “buwan-buwan.” The first three games were played even when the sun was at its fiercest. Our elders had not heard of global warming then. Only occasionally would a playmate be called back to their house, face streaming with melted dirt from grimy hands that wiped away sweat to better aim a slipper at the much dented can of sardine in “bato-lata.”

 * Play Filipino games. Games are said to be an integral part of our culture. Kids these days focus on games on their iPads, and yes this develops certain parts of the brain. But to make it more complete, stimulate the motor cortex too by adding in Filipino games like tubig tubig, bato lata, siatong, Japanese game, luksong baka, chinese garter etc. I’m sure you all have games up your sleeve.

 * Tumbang preso or bato lata in Cebuano requires three or more players, an empty tin (usually a can of milk) and a slipper. One selected lookout guards the tin, which is placed inside a drawn circle, while the rest of the players stand further away behind a drawn line. The goal of the players is to topple the tin using their slippers. When the tin topples, the lookout quickly puts the tin back to its original position. The lookout will also attempt to tag players who retrieve their slipper. The tagged player then becomes the new lookout.

 * Bato lata – Sa tunga, adunay ibutang nga lata nga bantayan sa hago nga player. Samtang ang uban nga players magbarog sa throwing line ug magpuli-puli sa paglabay sa ilang tsinelas o sapatos tumong ngadto sa lata. Kon matumba ang lata, ang mga player nga tag-iya sa tsinelas nga wa makapatumba niini, maglumbaanay sa pagkuha sa tsinelas ug mobalik sa base. Kon adunay motugpa nga tsinelas nga anaa sa lingin diin nahimutang ang lata, ang tag-iya niini maoy mahago.
