Tumbang Preso is a traditional Filipino children's game, also known as "tumba lata" or "bato lata." The name translates to "knock down the prisoner" in English. Here's a brief overview of how it's played:
1. Equipment: You'll need an empty can or bottle and a slipper for each player.
2. Setup: Draw a circle on the ground and place the can in the center. One player is designated as the "tayà" (the "It"), who guards the can.
3. Objective: The other players aim to knock down the can by throwing their slippers at it. The tayà tries to tag the players while they retrieve their slippers.
4. Rules: If a player is tagged while recovering their slipper, they become the new tayà. The game continues with players taking turns trying to knock down the can and avoid being tagged.
It's a fun and energetic game that encourages strategic thinking and agility.
