Piko

Happy weekend! Have you been stuck too long inside the house? Time to venture out to the backyard and teach your kids about traditional Filipino games! Not only are you stretching your muscles, you are also imparting an important part of Filipino culture to your children.

Piko is a game where the players draw a big image on the floor filled mostly of box-like shapes, which they will hop on and around using only a single foot.

When finished hoping around, he or she moves the “pamato” on the next box until it reaches the topmost box. The first to finish wins the game.
