Children's game in the Philippines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luksong baka (English: Jump over the Cow) is a traditional Filipino game[1] 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".[2] The main goal of the players is to successfully jump over the baka without touching or falling over the baka.[citation needed]
At the start of the game, one player is designated taya (it), or in this game the bakang lala (cow). The players should avoid touching or falling over the baka player while jumping over. The baka player should start with a kneeling-down position (a baka player bends over with their hands placed on his knees). All players are to jump over the baka until all the players have jumped.[3] Once the first set of jumping over the baka is done, the baka player will slowly rise up after jumping over the baka player. Only the hands of the jumper may touch the back of the person who is bent over. If a player fails to avoid contact or fall over the baka, they will replace the baka player with a kneeling position (step 3), and the game continues until the all players decide to end the game.[4][5]
