Galasin...!
Love it....

I've broke my arm playing this game......

loved playing petak benteng, gangsing, and gundu (including the one where you guess how many gundu the other player has).

petak benteng!! love that game...

Galasin!!Galasin!!!

Yeah, Galah Asin!!I wasn't very good with Gundu/Kelereng.... How about Kasti? Does that count? Of course, I had Nintendo when I was a little boy...

And boys, it's so not fair!!How about the girls here?

Congklak, although can be played by both girls and boys, is usually played by girls.

yeah..kasti..im very good at it..and i think its avery torture game...you know when someone hit u so hard with that Ball (we call it "Bongek")...its meaner version of softball.....i played Congklak too..and Bola Bekel....

This is my favourite traditional game.

You post that thing because u have no idea what we're talking about, huh?

I suppose so. We call those games in different names.

Eh... eh... Congkak....

What r u trying to say, Betong?

You pic remind me of our own traditional game, Congkak....

^ yeah...it is congklak in Indonesia and congkak in Malaysia

i play galasin and gatrik...so much fun back then...

Gatrik is called konda-kondi. And kelereng is called guli.
Do you people play kriket in Indonesia?

@tengkuafif
no, no kricket in indonesia... and no, nintendo is not traditional..!!

got this from a blog dgk.or.id

1. Galasin. Permainan ini terdiri dari dua tim, dimana masing-masing tim terdiri dari 3 orang. Inti permainannya adalah mencegat lawan agar tidak bisa lolos ke baris terakhir. Biasanya dimainkan di lapangan bulu tangkis dengan acuan garis-garis. Kalo udah maenan ini bisa sampe keringetan deh.
2. Bentengan. Terdiri dari dua tim. Inti permainan ini adalah memasuki benteng lawan dengan menyentuh baris pertahanan mereka. Biasanya yang dianggap sebagai benteng adalah sebuah tiang listrik yang dijaga oleh beberapa orang dan kita berusaha untuk menyentuh tiang listrik. Hampir sama seperti galasin dijamin pasti keringetan kalo abis maen bentengan.
3. Gasing. Ini permainan rakyat yang cukup lama. Bentuk permainannya adalah sebuah bentukan kayu yang dapat berputar. Biasanya dijadikan ajang taruhan siapa yang gasingnya dapat berputar paling lama maka dialah pemenangnya, atau terkadang kuat-kuatan bahan dengan mengadu kedua gasing.
4. Biji Karet. Inti permainan ini adalah mengadu kekuatan biji karet. Dulu biji karet dijual dengan harga 25 rupiah - 100 rupiah. Kadang juga dijadikan ajang taruhan kecil-kecilan
5. Dampu. Ini permainan batu yang disusun sedemikian rupa dan kita berusaha menjatuhkan susunan batu itu dengan menggunakan batu lain yang diletakkan di kaki kita.
6. Gebokan. Ini biasanya menggunakan pecahan genteng yang disusun keatas sehingga berbentuk menara dan kemudian kita akan menjatuhkan susunan itu dari jarak jauh dengan bola kasti dan jika susunan itu terjatuh maka lawan harus menyusun kembali pecahan genteng kemudian mengambil bola kasti dan melempar bola kasti ke arah kita. Kemenangan ditandai dengan berdirinya menara pecahan genteng dan tubuh kita terkena bola kasti.
7. Teklek. Permainan ini berbentuk kotak-kotak yang menyerupai tanda tambah namun memiliki kotak-kotak. Kita sebagai pemain memegang sebuah pecahan eternit untuk dilemparkan ke masing-masing kotak dan kemudian kita melakukan lompatan ke dalam kotak-kotak tersebut
8. Duh saya bener-bener lupa nama permainan ini, tapi intinya melemparkan karet gelang milik kita ke karet gelang milik lawan yang tersebar dan menjadi umpan. Jika karet gelang milik kita mengenai karet gelang tersebut, maka karet gelang milik lawan menjadi milik kita. Kemenangan ditandai dengan banyaknya karet gelang ditangan kita.
9. Karet Gelang. Ini biasanya dimainkan sama anak-anak cewek dengan menyusun karet gelang dalam jumlah besar dan kemudian diputar sepgoterti olah raga skipping.
10. Bola Bekel. Ini juga dimainkan sama anak cewek, pasti masih inget kan?
11. Ular Naga Panjang. Ini permainan yang ada lagunya. Masih inget gak dengan lagunya? Ular Naga Panjangnya Bukan Kepalang, Berjalan-jalan selalu riang gembira…bla..bla… LUPA! :-D
12. Yang lainnya tentu masih ada seperti Yoyo, Kelereng dan Gambaran.
13. Dan yang paling legendaris dan sulit dilupakan namanya tentu saja PETAK UMPET.

Terima kasih akashiro!

...umpan yang elok, itulah yang dicari...ini dianya yang terbelakang!!
Terbelakang? Siapa ya yang terbelakang? tengkuafif?

oops...sorry...

Why are u sorry, it's only a lyric of the song "Ular Naga"

i used to play this indonesian game with a classmate from Jakarta... she had a rubber ball which we hv to bounce n catch while turning some golden pieces of metal .. i don't know its name, but we were addicted big time !

It's called "bekel" game!


I ussually play it when i was kid.


We also can use this for "bekel", it's 'kuwuk' or 'kerang' or shells.



That's shells also use for playing 'congklak'


Here an article about games :
IndoGames

- Galasin
- Congklak
- layangan
- petak jongkok
- petak umpet
- adu biji karet s (gue dulu tomboy, mainnya sama anak cowo)

Oh, bekel went international!!

thx haqine, that was the game, 'bekel'!




We call these 'cowrie' shells in Kenya. It used to be the currency of trade in the East African tribes. It's found along the coral reefs here. Many tribes still use it for their decorations even though it is no longer used as a currency..



Where was this game originating from, bhas??

ahh i remember poggs

Malaysia...

Iya gitu mas betong? ^^

Bekel from Dutch game "bikkelen"

I just kidding, tante...

I don't know if in Indo you played a game called catek. I loved it when I was a child.

how to play it?

The "Ca5tek" has a rubber piece(usually old tyre innner tubes) at the base about the size of an Aust 50 cents piece(3cm round radius), it had a nail though the centre of the rubber to which either goose, duck or chicken feathers were tied to it(usually about 4 feathers). And you played it a bit like sepak takraw.


Did anyone play with bottle caps as a child? Or the rubber inside the bottle caps?

Hmmm..I never played that "catek", I think. We do play with bottle caps, but not in that kind of game.

yeah...i played it in my uncle's house...my niece play it too...but i forget whats the name in Indo....

Ya, they have "modern" ones now made from plastic and artificial feathers with a spring in it. Not the same. I'm a bit of a traditionalist.

Toys and game:

Biji karet
Gambaran

mine was Blokus Classic Game when i was kid.Blokus is a geometric and spatial strategy board game for the whole family,this is for 2 players.

I love galasin the most











And Kites

In the Philippines we have a very similar game to Galasin, and it's called Patintero. It's being re-popularized as a type of national game. It is perhaps the most developed of sports games indigenous to the Philippines (and of course it's indigenous to Indonesia as well) that I can find with the exception of Sipa Sipa which has similarities to Sepak Takraw. Patintero is also called Tubigan or Harangang Taga.

^^^Fascinating..., I didn't know Philippines have Galasin too... It's practically the same game...

I actually didn't know that Indonesia had the same game until I read this topic. I did some checking, and it turns out that Galasin and Patintero do not have any relatives outside of Austronesia. The chase/tag games of Europe and America and elsewhere do not have the lattice diagram. So it's safe to say that Galasin and Patintero are indigenous to Austronesia.

^^That's what I love about AF, I can learn new things about our neighbours and discover how much we have in common...

Oh yeah, in 4th grade I broke my hand playing Galasin, I was run soo fast to avoid the guard and can not stop and hit a wall, hard..., but my hand position is wrong, it hurt soo bad..., luckily as a kid I heal fast...

^wow that's very nice.. it's a new thing to me.. I didn't know Indonesia has a traditional game similar with the patintero of the Philippnes.
really nice

I remember when I was a kid, when the road/court didn't have any lines.
we used water or chalk to draw the line.

From the Philippines I share with our friendly Indonesian neighbors my favorite traditional games

1. playing the trumpo/turumpo







AND

2. Tumbang preso(lit. means fallen prisoner)



http://www.seasite.niu.edu/Tagalog/Filipin...ng_pilipino.htm

Here trumpo/turumpo is called Gasing

In Indonesia there are many types of Gasing,






My favorite type is bamboo one, typical gasing in Java especially Yogyakarta, Central Java and West Java region
Because it have hollow inside and a hole, it can make a humming sounds when spinnin.
