Post #4: Filipino Games

5/26/2016

At last night's Filipino Culture Night at Genesee we played a traditional Filipino game called "Maria Went To Town." This is a relay race in which the first two people on each team put on a dress and other clothes (in our game, a sweater, necklace and sunglasses), and race to a chair, carrying a basket filled with items you might get at a store. After going around the chair and returning to their team, the next person in line has to put on the outfit and do the same thing. The winning team is the first to finish. Here are some photos from last night's game. I am excited to learn about other games Filipino children play. What are your favorite outside games to play?
