Pusa at Daga

Most Teamwork-Required Game Award


This one is a blast! This game was really really fun. It was very tiring too. This game is worth playing again and again and again and again.. This also required a lot of teamwork, so I was very happy to see the cooperation among us. It was also sad because whoever becomes the cat becomes our "enemy". It was like one versus many. But it was really really really fun, pressuring, humbling (Haha!), and used lots of brain cells. I must learn how to stop blaming others, though. Hahaha!

Variation:

• The cat cannot go inside if the mouse is sitting down. Likewise, the mouse cannot go outside if the cat is sitting down. They can sit-walk. Haha!

MVP: Cedric! Woot woot!

Tatsing

Most Looks-Can-Be-Deceiving Game Award


This one is fun and simple. It can take away boredom without requiring so much energy, tools and time. This is more of like a game for adults since it requires more "strategies"/"diskarte", and children like games that involves running around and getting sweaty. I saw that most of us enjoyed this, and many were really trying hard to concentrate. The funny part comes when a person is very close at a bottle cap. Obviously, it is a sure hit. And when, he/she doesn't hit it, he/she goes almost insane, and everyone bursts into laughter. Well, it happened to me once. Haha!

Variation:

• Instead of using stones, why not try using bottle caps also instead?

MVP: I could have said Juvy, but I hit the most number of caps, therefore making me the MVP! Boo! Haha!

Kawit ng Daliri

Most Rare-Winner Game Award

I was very nervous on this one. I have a weak grip, and my hands get sweaty at times, so I knew that there's a slim chance that I could win. It was really really hard to win in this game. After a round, it feels like my fingers would fall off. Haha! And the funny thing was, only a few emerged victorious every round. There were times when there was no winner in a round.

Variation:

• Use two fingers that are not adjacent to each other. Haha!

And the MVP is no other than.. *drumroll*  JUVY! :D

Baboy-baboy

Most Protective Game Award


This is a game where a personal side of everyone is somewhat seen. Instead of using stones or other things for this game, we used our own stuff. We took five (5) small personal things and they were used as the mother's baby pigs. Most used school supplies. And it wasn't that surprising since we're in UP. Haha!

I was kinda hesitant at first because my stuff were different. The stuff that I brought along were similar to these:

But it seemed like they didn't mind. And I felt relieved. Then we played. At first, I was a bit irritated because the "Mother Pig" kept the stuff very close to himself. Duh, how are we supposed to get even one?! But, well, he was just doing his job. The first round was veeerrryyyy boooooorrrriiiiing. But when we changed playmates, it was way more fun. The "Mother Pig" used other stuff as his bait. It was really really funny. If I could give some variations, I would require the "Mother Pig" to put the stuff at least an inch away from him/her. The persons that he/she tags could also be baby pigs. Haha! Since I got the most number of stuff on the second round, I could consider myself as the MVP! Yay! Haha!

Aswang Aswang

Most "Nakaka-paranoid" Game Award


In the game, there is a circle drawn on the floor. The "aswang", or "it", should only tag other people from the circumference.

I really did not want to be the "aswang" because I did not want to be the "enemy". It was hard, though. I'm not that comfortable being close with sweaty people (Haha!), and I'm not that used to being pushed hard. But I do understand that it was inevitable to be pushed from one direction to another, because my classmates were obviously trying to get away from the "aswang". They probably enjoyed the game, I suppose, because of their smiles and laughter. If I could give it variations, I would change the circle into a square, and have two "aswangs" instead of one. Or, if a person gets out of the circle he/she will automatically be the "aswang". Since a lot of us did not get tagged by the "aswang", I can consider myself as the MVP of this game! :D
