    are Filipino indigenous games, commonly played by children, usually using locally

    available materials or instruments. Some common “Laro ng Lahi” are "tumbang preso", "piko",
    "patintero", "shato", "luksong baka", "turumpo", "dampa", and "holen".

    Shato is a game played in the suburbs


    and rural areas of the Philippines but similarly
    played in the Middle East that goes by the
    name Gutalaguti. The game makes use of two
    sticks, one longer than the other. The longer
    stick will serve like a bat and the shorter stick
    serves like the hit. There needs to be two
    teams to play this game the hitter and the
    Shatong/Shato/Syato/Shatung/Stick Game fetcher.

    The concept of the game is to hit the shorter


    stick with the longer stick as far as it can go and when
    this happens, the hitter will run to a marked area.
    There will be 4 marked areas just like in baseball and
    while the other team is fetching the shorter stick, the
    hitter will have to make it to the home base hitting the
    first mark, the second, the third and back to the home
    base. The fun part of the game is that while the hitter
    is running from one marked area to the other, he or
    she must be shouting the name of the game as
    in SHAAAAAATONG!
    • Two players, one flat stick (usually 3') and one short flat piece of wood (4" usually a piece
    cut from the flat stick).
    • Player A is the hitter and Player B as the catcher.
    • Played outside on the ground where you dig a small square hole (slanted) where you
    put the small wood so it sticks out.
    • Player A hits the wood with the stick so it catches air enough to be hit by the stick.
    • The further the wood gets hit the more points you get (usually counted by the number of
    stick length
    • Player B on the other hand has to anticipate and catch the small piece of wood to nullify
    the points and become his turn or looks forward to Player A to miss hitting the wood.

    Note: Number of players: 2 teams with at least two players but you can play it as
    singles as well.
