Kick Ball (Sepak Takraw) Bare feet rise to meet the sky, a rattan ball, a joyful cry. Kicks and laughter fill the air - team spirit dancing everywhere.

Stilts Walk (Tenggek / Jangkang) Two sticks tall, a wobbly race, grins wide, kids find their pace. Higher steps, no fear to fall - village paths became our hall.

Marbles Game (Guli) Pits of dust and glassy spheres, aiming straight with tiny cheers. Knocking dreams from circle’s keep, pocketed treasures, secrets deep

Hide and Seek (Nyorok-nyorok) Count to ten, then off they dash, behind old trees or chickens’ stash. Giggling breath in secret spots, heartbeats echo, laughter knots.

Palm Frond Sledding (Tarik Upih) Hills and fronds, a leafy ride, grass stained knees and beaming pride. Nature’s slide, no toys to buy. Just kids and slopes beneath the sky.

Kite Flying (Wau) Threads like wishes tug the breeze, bright tails flutter through the trees. Who’s soars highest, who cuts free? A sky of kites, wild and carefree.

Spinning Top (Gasing) Spin it fast, let it twirl, circles dance, wood

and whirl. Crowds gather, shouts ring loud, a champion spinner, forever proud.

Playing Congkak (Main Congkak) Seeds click- clack in wooden rows. Counting, plotting, how it goes. Shade and chatter, shells in hand, little minds in playful land.

Rubber Band Jump (Lompat Getah) Elastic loops between small feet. Jumping high to tricky beat. Patterns made with laughing eyes, skipping games ‘neath open skies.

Hopscotch (Ketingting) Chalked out squares on dusty ground, pebbles tossed, the kids rebound. Hop, skip, giggle - miss a line? Try again - we’ve endless time.

Tin Can Phones (Telefon Tin) Strings of secrets, can to can, whispers travel, friend to friend. Voices dance through tin and wire. Childhood’s simplest, purest choir.

Sack Race (Lompat Dalam Guni) Bags up to our little waists, bouncing, tumbling, silly chase. Fall and rise, we race and cheer, together closer every year.
