This document discusses target games and their benefits. It provides examples of individual target games like darts and archery and group target games like soccer and baseball. It also summarizes the game of Luksong Tinik, a traditional Filipino target game. Target games help develop skills like accuracy, agility, and coordination. They promote physical literacy and lifelong healthy living. Considerations for safety are also outlined.

Playing games makes us happy. They allow us to meet people who will eventually
become our friends. Playing games help us be pleased of our accomplishment at the
same time, develop our competence to accept defeat graciously as a form of
sportsmanship and develop camaraderie.
In addition, playing games make us physically and socially healthy.
Outcome of pandemic to Physical Education
Children like you love to play games especially outdoors. But, due to this
pandemic, video games have helped people get through a year of isolation and
loneliness. Video games especially have become a necessary tether for people to
friends they aren’t able to see as much, or at all, in person.

2. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Combined with phone calls, texts and chat tools, video games — from
battle royal “Minecraft” to the immersive world of “Roblox” — are giving
people a way to share fun, escapist experiences with each other when their
shared reality is darker.
They also act as a medium for discussing the harder topics, like
depression. Whether it’s shooting aliens together in near silence or opening
up about feelings of loss, playing games is serving a valuable purpose.
Growing up on screens: A year living online has changed the children
like you.

Physical Education is a natural place to address public health
concerns including decreases in physical activities resulting from the
pandemic—especially in light of the current goal of PE to assist
students in acquiring “the knowledge, skills and confidence to
enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity”
The pandemic-initiated shift to online instruction provided
numerous challenges to PE teachers.

5. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Games or educational games - are activities involving one or
more people, on the move with or without an object or
implement, playing under mutually agreed upon set of rules.
Games - can be used for practice/self-testing skills, cooperative play
or competitive play.
There are four basic types of games: invasion/territory, net/wall,
striking/fielding and target.

6. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Lesson 3 – Target Games
Game Learning Targets – Movement Skills, Strategies and Tactics
Students should first understand the purpose (e.g., offense and
defense) of the game and how it is played (i.e., rules of the game).
The rules should be simplified for beginners. The rules that we impose on
players will determine what and how they use movement skills and tactics.
During the games unit students learn movement skills (e.g., striking with a
bat, dribbling, catching, sliding while defending) and how to make tactical
decisions.

7. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Lesson 3 – Target Games
Students must also learn to understand the purpose of the skill and when to
use the skill within a game.
Skillful play within these games requires manipulative skills that come from
the following three categories:
1.Sending an object away – striking, volleying, kicking, or throwing it
2.Receiving/gaining possession of an object – by catching (trapping)
or collecting it (i.e., gaining control of and/or redirecting an object
coming along the ground
3.Traveling with and retaining the object – by carrying or propelling it
(e.g., dribbling).

8. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Lesson 3 – Target Games
Teaching Games for Understanding
There are many ways to teach students game skills.
Teaching games for understanding is a popular method. This approach
includes:
 introducing students to: a type of game (e.g., invasion, net/wall,
fielding or target)
 tactical awareness (e.g., learn tactics associated with each game
type)
 decision making (i.e., recognize situations in which tactics can be
applied)
 skill execution (e.g., learn ways to perform skill appropriately
within each game type).

9. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Lesson 3 – Target Games
Strategies and tactics are skills themselves.
Strategy - is an overall game plan and the sum of all tactics used.
Tactics - are decisions about what actions to take in response to problems
that arise during a game.
Students must understand the tactics and strategies appropriate to each
game in order to be successful.
Students must have control over their bodies and over an object before they
can apply the strategies and tactics successfully to a game.

10. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Lesson 3 – Target Games
Target games – practice the skills of aiming or hitting a target, avoiding
another player called “it” and dodging.
- are activities in which players send an object toward a
target while avoiding any obstacles. By playing these games,
participants will learn the key skills and strategies

Lesson 3 – Target Games
Luksong Tinik - Using Our Limbs as “Props”
- used only our arms and legs to execute this activity. We called this game
Luksong Tinik. According to our old folks, this activity originated from
Cabanatuan City, in the province of Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
Luksong Tinik - literally means “jumping over thorns” in English. It’s a
group game of two teams. Each team is composed of an equal
number of players. The players choose their respective nanay
(mother). While the rest of the team members call themselves
anak (children).

14. MAPEH 6 – CHAPTER 2 – FILIPINO GAMES
Lesson 3 – Target Games
The Mechanics of Luksong Tinik
The objective of the game is for all players in a team to jump over the height
of the piled hands of the opposing team.
A player must avoid hitting the piled hands with any part of his body
or clothing. The two mothers are expected to be high jumpers. The first to jump is
decided by the mothers by tossing a slipper. The mother whose team wins the
toss will have the first jump. The other team serves as the tayâ (on base) and
forms the tinik (thorns) with their feet and hands.
Two players on the base sit facing each other, putting a foot forward and
touching the other player’s foot.
Then, each member of the other team starts jumping over the feet.

muscle strain
2. Attire – must wear the proper attire for you to feel comfortable

the forecast; if raining indoor games are recommended
5. Health conditions – must have a clearance from a doctor or from the
parents before doing the strenuous activity
