KABAYO-KABAYUHAN

The first time you hear the name of this game, you can give a close guess on what this is all about. Basically, the game is like riding on a horse, but instead, a bamboo stick is used as a substitute horse.

Kabayo-kabayuhan is a group game (at least 2 groups) and no specific number of players is required, so long as all the groups have equal number of players.



MECHANICS

1. Form a group of equal number of players each.
2. Each group is given a bamboo stick with equal length (approximately 3 meters).
3. There will be a starting line and a mark point on the other side (opposite the starting line) where the groups will swerve to the direction of the starting line (which also serves as the finish line).
4. Two persons at a time will ride on the bamboo stick and run till they reach the finish line.
5. After the first two member, then another pair, and so on, until all the members have ridden on the stick.
6. The group who's pair of members who last ride on the bamboo, reaches the finish line first, wins.
7. There are at least three rounds.

ABILITY (scale out of 5)

1. Running (6/5) - of course, what's the use if you just walk, right?
   
2. Holding (3/5) - to be able to grasp and hold the bamboo long enough
3. Swerving (5/5) - yes this is the most difficult part
   
4. Fast and strong legs (5/5) - connected to running ability

EXPERIENCE

Actually, one reason why I enjoyed this game is because I was a winning member in the winning group -- our group won all the rounds . In fact, the game is nerve-wracking especially when you play very competitive. While you are the one running, you actually would not worry about the other groups. You would not have enough time and reason to look or even just glance over the other groups and compare if they are faster than you. Your mind would completely be focused on what you're goal is; hence, you would just run. Well, that's what I experienced in that game.

After my every turn, I found myself catching my breath. The game is really fun and exhausting at the same time. The laugh trip, however, is less compared to the sis-sis-ki.

But definitely, it's worthwhile to play this game. After a long and tiring acad day,this is a good way to release your stress, all the games in PE in general.



RECOMMENDATION

• Use two bamboos at a time. Wohoo!
• Instead of running while riding the bamboo, hopping can be a more challenging move.

LESSON OF THE GAME

Go after the goal with all your best. Do not make time to compare with others.
