Answer:
Explanation:A traditional game called “Hampas Palayok” (hit the pot) was very popular in the Philippines. I know that every Filipino who can read this experience playing this game at least once during their childhood. Before, this game was only played during Barrio Fiesta (Feast). This was played mostly by children but now, it can also be played by adults during birthday parties, Christmas celebrations or any other occasions.||
The rules of the game are so simple. You just have to hit the clay pot. Easy right? But wait. Players should be blindfolded. They will fall in line around 3 meters away in front of the hanging clay pot, enough for the player to reach it and will walk straight towards the pot. A long bamboo or lumber is used to hit it. Participants are made to spin around to distort his/ her concentration. The crowd will distract the player by yelling all kinds of directions, “Go straight, to the left, to the right, stop! Hit it! Hit it!”
One by one, they have an opportunity to hit the pot once. Yes. You read it right. Just one hit. If you missed it, you have to go back in line and wait for your turn to hit again. The game continues if the player misses to hit the pot.If someone smashes the pot, the crowd goes for the goodies fall on the ground from the pot like candies, chocolates, coins and even peso bills. The player who breaks the pot will win the game and will be given a prize, usually a peso bill.
