    Tumbang Preso is a traditional Philippine game similar to tag. Players take turns hitting a can with slippers from behind a toe-line, then must retrieve their slipper from within the can zone, where the person who is "It" tries to tag them. To set up, a can is placed in a circled area and a toe-line is drawn several feet away. One player is designated as "It" and the others take turns knocking over the can from behind the toe-line before crossing to collect their slipper and risk getting tagged. If the can is knocked outside the zone, "It" must return it before tagging.

    Tumbang Preso
    “Tumbang Preso” otherwise known as “Kick the Can”
    is a common traditional game played in the
    Philippines

    This game is somewhat similar to tag

    Many kids learn how to play this game growing up,


    Short clips of kids playing Tumbang
    either playing this at school or after school with Preso
    friends or family at home
    What you need:

    A empty can (soda can, soup can, etc.)

    Chalk (tape or a rock works as well, just something that can be used to

    mark areas)

    Slipper/Sandal/Flip-Flops (any of these options work)

    At least 2 players
    How to setup the game
    ❖ First you need to make the “playing field” place your
    Can Zone
    empty can down wherever and draw a circle around the
    can, this can be called the “can zone”
    ❖ Then walk about 7ft (2 meters or so) away from the
    circle and draw a straight line, this is called the “toe-line”
    ❖ In Tumbang Preso there are the hitters (people who
    stand behind the toe-line and try to knock the can down Toe-line
    with their slipper) and the person who is “It” (they stay by
    Person who
    the can zone and try to tag the hitters once they cross is “it” does
    not cross
    the toe-line to retrieve their slipper) the toe-line
    How to Play
    Rules
    1. To determine who is “It” first players can stand by the can
    and toss their slippers as close to the toe-line as possible,
    the person who’s slipper is farthest is “it” (you can also
    determine this by other means such as rock, paper, scissors,
    etc.)
    2. Once you have determined who is “it” the hitters will line up
    behind the toe-line
    3. Then the hitters will start trying to knock down the can with
    their slippers
    4. After they toss their slipper they must cross the toe-line to
    retrieve their slipper
    5. The person who is “it” can only tag the hitters once they have
    crossed the toe-line and have touched their slipper A basic reference video on how to play
    6. Additionally if the can is knocked out of the can zone the Tumbang Preso
    person who is “It” must place the can back into the can zone
    before they can tag any of the hitters
    7. Also the person who is “it” cannot try to block the hitter’s
    And that’s it!
