How do you play it? (original way)
Luksong baka (Our groups method)
Basically it is like leapfrog where you try to not jump on someones back but over it.
1. There should be a bakang lala or a "cow"
2. Again do not jump on someone`s back.
3. The Baka starts beding down on it's knees and hands on the floor
4. All players have to jump over the Baka as the Baka sloly rises up.
5. The Baka is able to tag the person jumping over if Baka fails the person replaces the Baka in a beding position.
Tips:
Never jump too high or it may cause injuries.
You have to make a group of 5 people. After you picked your groups, you have to choose one person to be the baka from the other team.
After everyone has jumped over the baka, the baka will then chase anyone he/she can. If he/she cant get anyone, it is the other team's point.
