Hi Steemian..

How are you today? I hope everyone is in good health. First, thanks to @strecoza for hosting a great contest, with the theme Games and Toys.

The contest link can be seen here : link

That is so interesting contest. We can find out various kinds of games that exist in all corners of the world.

Nowadays, children generally prefer gadgets to play outside with friends. Though many interesting games can be done.

Playing is a fun activity. This activity is a way to encourage them to be active. Besides being fun, playing activities are also healthy.

Today I will share one of the games that I often played with my friends when I was little, namely "Lompat Tali".

This Lompat Tali game used to be quite loved. The game which essentially jumps a rope that is knotted lengthwise is one of the traditional types of games.

In general, the rope used for this game comes from rubber bands that are arranged or woven. Creativity can also be seen in the way we weave the rubber that will be used in this game.

This game requires a fairly large area, usually on the home page. For safety in playing, stones or sharp objects around the yard must be removed, because this game is played barefoot.

Lompat Tali games can be played individually or in groups. Those who will jump the rope are carried out alternately jumping over the rubber held by those who are "on guard" on the right and left sides.

Furthermore, the jump rope movement is carried out based on certain levels, starting from the knees, waist, navel, chest, head, up to one span above the head.

The way to play this Lompat Tali game is to first provide a piece of rubber rope. Invite two friends to be "on guard", the end of the rope is held by both people. Then follow the following steps:

1. Straight legs and arms hanging in front of the body.
2. Squat body with an upright chest position.
3. The body jumps into the air with arms open up.
4. Land on 1 leg and knees bent.

I haven't played this game in a long time. The last time I played this game was about four years ago, in 2017.

I play together with my fellow teachers and students. It's really fun. The students looked cheerful and enjoyed the game. They had forgotten the device that had accompanied them.
