The innovative way to play the game.

“Good artist copy, Great artist steal”-Picaso I was inspired by his quotation so I tried to innovate one of the most popular street games in the Philippines the “tumbangpreso”. What is a “Tumbang Preso” its a game that played many years here in the Philippines and until now even though our generation change some of our greatest games are alive and still kicking.

Plastic Plate

Plastic Cup

1. The players can retrieve their Plate and not be tagged only if the can has fallen.

2. If the cup is upright, you are only safe when you reach the line. While in between the can and the line, the IT can tag you to be the new IT.

3. If a player hits the can and throws it out of the circle but fails to knock it down, he automatically becomes the new it.

4. If the plate falls inside the circle - regardless of whether the cup is upright or down, the IT can stamp it with the can and the owner becomes the new IT.

5. You can throw only from the line and not beyond it (nearer the can.

From the line, hit the cup with your Plate and make it lie on its side (tumba means to fall) and retrieve your cup without getting tagged by the IT

You shall not hit the IT (sometimes we do deliberately!)Hitting the can cup be done one at a time or simultaneously.

The players line up in the mark line and throws their plate forward as if hitting the cup . Whoever throws the shortest is the IT.

Because you are interacting with other teammate and the tremendous exercise that you gain. not to mention the safety of the game its for all ages. I wish you try this with your friends.
