Traditional Games
Langit Lupa
(lit. heaven and earth) one it chases after players who are allowed to run on level ground ("lupa") and clamber over objects ("langit"). The it may tag players who remain on the ground, but not those who are standing in the "langit" (heaven). The tagged player then becomes it and the game continues.

Values
is a twist on a running around game where one is considered taya or untouchable if they are in an elevated place. The taya then chants a rhyme and at the end of it, everyone must run to a new elevated position while avoiding being tagged by the taya.

Chinese garter
Two people hold both ends of a stretched garter horizontally while the others attempt to cross over it.
Examples
Values
It might not be nominally ours, but this game is engraved in every Filipino childhood spent playing on a sunny afternoon.
Two or three teams usually make up the game and the ‘it” team’s members served as the posts. These human posts wear the garter at varying heights on their legs depending on the level. When an opposing player fails to jump the garter and steps on it, the mother of the team can save the player. In case the mother fails, the other team gets their turn

Agawan base
Mechanics
There are two bases, each bases has equal number of members. There will be members who will guard the base. The others may leave the base to run and try to catch another members of the other team or try to steal the opponent’s base. Catch as many as of the opponents as your team can. A captive opponent becomes a prisoner and stands on the captor’s base until a member of his own team saves him by touching/tagging him. Once he is tagged and “saved”, the prisoner is freed and goes back to his base. There will also be a plastic bottle placed on the middle of the place where the game is held, the first team who will get the bottle without being tag by the members of another team shall garner 1 point. The team who will touch the base of their opponent without being tag by the members of another team shall also garner 1 point. First team to get three points shall win the game
Example
Values
Agawan base is a fun game that my friends and I used to play. I learned a lot of values from playing this game, which includes team work, friendship, and sportsmanship.
Team work – agawan base requires team work because it is a game played as a group. Two groups would have to touch each other’s base to score a point. If you are not good in playing as a team, then agawan base is not for you.
Friendship – you will develop friendship through this game because everyone has a strong desire to win and be friends with one another.
Sportsmanship – if you lose, you’ll have to accept the result of the game and congratulate the winning group.
Luksong baka
Mechanics
In choosing the first “baka”, all players must place a hand over another (palms down), and at the count of three, they release their hands simultaneously, either showing palms up or down. The player who displays a different position of the hand from the rest should be the first baka or “it”.
The baka then assumes his position at a designated “jump over” spot. On the first level, he takes a crouching position and the rest of the players jump over him – one after another. When all the players have jumped over, the baka raises his position a bit higher for the next level. He repeats this process until he reaches the standing position or until a jumper errs.
-
The jumper who hits the baka will take the place of the baka, and the baka now becomes a jumper.
When the level goes higher, the jumper may use his hands for balance by putting them together over the baka.
Examples
Values
(Jump over the Cow) is a traditional Filipino game that originated in Bulacan. It involves a minimum of three players and a maximum of 10 players, and involves them jumping over the person called the baka, or "cow". The main goal of the players is to successfully jump over the baka without touching or falling over the baka
