    Shatong is a traditional Filipino outdoor game that was popular in the 1970s-80s. Players divide into two teams, with one team batting and the other fetching. The game involves hitting a short stick with a long stick to launch it down a shallow furrow on the ground. Sungka is a two-player board game where each player manages seven holes on their side of the board and aims to accumulate tokens in their "head" hole. Players take turns picking up and redistributing tokens from their holes around the board into their own head.

    SHATONG

    AT SUNGKA

    SHATONG
    - Is a native Cebuano game. Although no one can
    say when it exactly started. The game was so
    popular in the 70s and 80s that kids in the
    neighboring rural and suburban areas quickly
    adapted it. And, sooner than expected, shatong’s
    popularity traveled as far as Mindanao and Luzon
    regions. Since then, the name shatong takes on other
    name variations like syatong, chato/chatong,
    shatung, or pitiw. In the Visayan island of Siquijor,
    kids call it pirigtiw.
    1.
    SHATONG MECHANICS
    Space. The players locate a wide outdoor space to play. Preferably,
    the area is on a solid earth as they need to dig a little furrow in the
    dirt.
    2. Number of players. At least four players are needed to play shatong.
    But, it’s merrier when there are more participants in the game. These
    players split to form two teams. One team plays the ‘hitters’ and the
    other serves as the ‘fetchers’.
    3. Tools. Two pieces of stick. One stick needs to be longer at about 12
    inches in length, and the other is shorter at about 6 inches. The long
    stick serves as a ‘bat’, and the shorter one is the ‘hit’.
    4. Furrow. All participants decide on where to dig a shallow furrow on
    the ground. It’s on this furrow where the shorter stick or ‘hit’ is
    launched.
    TIPS IN PLAYING SHATONG
    1. Practice your batting skills to make
    sure the ‘hit’ lands far from the base.
    2. Make a strategy to prevent the
    fetcher from intercepting the ‘hit’.
    3. But, be careful to avoid the ‘hit’
    landing on your head or other parts
    of the body.

    SUNGKA
    - pronounced as Soong-kah, is a two-
    player turn-based board game wherein the
    players compete to obtain more stones than
    the other. The game unleashes the
    competitiveness of a person. Somehow, the
    Sungka game seems to be a mind game. It is
    also known to improve the mathematical
    thinking and observation skills of an
    individual.
    SHATONG MECHANICS
    1. Sungka is played on a block of wood called sungkahan or sungkaan
    (game-board). A sungkahan has a configuration of two rows of seven
    small round holes on each side, and two bigger holes at both ends of
    the board. The small holes are called bahay (house). While the two
    big ones are called “mother”, “store” or ulo (head).
    2. The game begins by putting seven tokens in each of the 14 small
    holes. Tokens can be seashells, pebbles, marbles, seeds, or grains.
    Each player manages the seven holes on his side of the sungkahan.
    He also owns the “head” to his right. The goal of the game is for the
    players to accumulate as many tokens in their respective “heads”.
    RULES IN PLAYING SUNGKA
    1. The first player starts by picking up
    all the tokens from one of his seven
    holes or bahay. Then, he distributes
    one token in each of the 14 small
    holes and in his own “head”. But he
    does not drop a token into his
    opponent’s “head”. At the hole
    where the player releases his last
    token, he may decide to continue his
    turn or let his opponent proceed.
