Twisted Body?
For this Saturday’s Photo Hunter theme twisted, I present to you, the magician’s assistant with her twisted body. Well, it is more like body cut in half 🙁
Fear not, it IS a magic trick we saw from this party. Woot, woot!
Twister Game
It is summer in this part of the world.
Summer means the children are not in school so parents should think of ways to keep the children entertained, occupied and challenged.
One of the games children can play with is the Twister Game. Below is a Twister game being played with my son as one of the players.
This game not only tests their ability to listen and follow instructions but it also tests their flexibility and resistance. It also is a good way to let them think creatively on how they would make themselves more comfortable without breaking their hold on the colored circles 🙂

Sipa, a Philippine Native Sport
I have never learned how to play this game called SIPA, the Philippines national sport. This requires agility and speed which I know nothing about.
Perhaps because I was a bit clumsy as a child who never learned how to to do jump rope moves not jump on Chinese garter being played during recess nor ride bikes, I wasn’t able to “master” games that require some physical prowess.
Sure I excelled in playing Jacks and running after friends in a game of “Tagged, You’re It” but that is the extent of how sporty I was.
I bought this toy for my children to play with but alas, they too are awkward about how to execute the moves. How would they know if I can’t teach them the moves.
I hope they can figure out a way on how to do this or I better ask hubby to demonstrate his moves, if he can still do these things 😀
Sungka
Sungka is an old Filipino game. This is also a popular game in other Asian countries.
The game has an elongated wooden board with seven pockets on either sides. Each pocket has seven shells in it.
At both ends of the wooden board are bigger pockets, called stores. One store is for each player, usually the one found on the left hand.
At the start of the game, both players will simultaneously choose to get a bunch of shells from any of the pockets on his side of the board. Each player will then store a shell on all the pockets moving clockwise. Each player will put one shell in his own store but not in his opponent’s store.
If the last seed is put in an empty pocket, then that player stops playing. If not, then that player keeps on playing, getting shells from the pocket where his last shell has fallen in and putting these in the holes and in his store.
There are still other rules regarding this game which is also called Congklak, click here.
