Tumbang Preso

This is a relatively simple game. Minimum of 3 players are needed but the more players the more the game will be enjoy.First, select the defender. Next, find a can, or something that can be knocked over easily from a distance. Position this can in the center of the game area (this will be the home base). The game will be like this:

The defender will defend the can from being knocked down. While it is in the upright position, the defender can chase anyone and tag him/her. When a player is tagged, and the can is still in the upright position, that player becomes the new defender.

The rest of the players must then see to it that the can is always knocked down. The defender of course can always put it back in the upright position. The rest of the players usually use their slippers to knock the can from a distance. Or if one gets close enough to the can without getting tagged, he can kick it and pick-up the rest of the "weapons" or slippers used. Of course, it is usually up to the other players to get their own "weapons" or slippers. For fairness, it would be nice if the players had only two slippers to knock down the can, no more than that. Once all the players are out of slippers, this would be a major opportunity for the defender to chase everyone before the can is kicked. The can has to be positioned in a particular area of responsibility.

When I'm young, I'm played this game together with my cousins, it is really fun. Tell this game to your kids, I assure you that they will like it!!:)
