Taguan (hide and seek)
This game has no limit to both boys and girls of ages between 5 to 15. This is played outdoors during daytime and on moonlit nights. Children are most often discouraged by parents partly due to a belief in unseen spirits that might harm their children. The game starts in an unidentified base where the 'it' closes his eyes and counts to 100 while the other players start hiding. After the count, the 'it' start looking for the rest of the players. Once found, one is automatically out of the game. In some provinces though, once a player is found, the 'it' will have to run to the base and touch it while the found player tries to beat him to it. When the found player beats the 'it,' he remains 'it' until everyone else is located. |
