25. Tak kadal lobang is one of traditional games from Betawi, DKI Jakarta. This
game is also called kalawadi. It based on the kids surprised to see lizards that their
reaction makes the lizard jumps so far. The game resembles the action of hitting the
lizard.
The game tools are in the form of round woods with a length of approximately
40 cm as the bat and a 10 cm long as the lizard. A hole with bricks on either side is lined
up with a distance of approximately 5 cm. The wood commonly used is jackfruit wood.
The game is carried out by two groups. After the group leaders decide the
winner, the winning group can start first as the beater and the loser will be the guard.
The trick is to lever the lizard from the hole as high and as far away as possible.
If the guard catches the player of the beater group, then the player is considered
dead and the second player continues. If he is not caught, the lizard is thrown to the
beater. If they get hit then they die, otherwise they can continue the game.
