When we were little, there were so many games we could do together. I was a child who lived in the village with my grandparents, away from my parents who at that time lived in a housing complex, near small irrigation and rice fields. It's really fun to be able to play and take advantage of several fields and empty land in the village to play.

It was 2000, and the internet was still very rare to find in my village, even one television at my grandfather's house was watched by the whole village community. We also play various types of games with great joy and are also able to create stronger bonds of brotherhood and friendship. Playmates will always be remembered until the end of their lives.

In the past, without the internet, my friends and I used to get up very early, eat breakfast with enthusiasm so that we wouldn't lose aches and pains while playing. My grandfather's yard at that time was a wide field where we played, sometimes this game forgot our time and was also very noisy, we laughed and also argued with each other occasionally which led to commotion so grandma often chased us with a broom. 😅 (we love grandma❤)

Games I Play Most When I Play

1. marbles (Kelereng)

^Source

This is a simple game to do in groups, and the number is unlimited. This simple game has several other types such as making a hole with the heel of the foot, then whoever succeeds in getting it in will get one point, if he succeeds in inserting the opponent's marbles into the hole then it will count how many times we will succeed in getting it out again. Whoever loses will receive a punishment such as dropping a marble child on the opponent's hand, this can be based on luck. It hurts a little but doesn't hurt. The same thing is like a box containing the opponent's and player's marbles as much as has been agreed, can be five or ten each. The party that succeeds in removing the marbles in the circle is entitled to get it.

crank (Engklek)

This is a girl's game, we usually draw a figure in the form of a giant person with legs (2 squares), skirt (halved square), body (1 square), and hands (2 square squares), neck (1 square), and lastly is the head in the form of a large circle. The tip for this game is to have a gacung as thin as possible, usually we will use coins or broken ceramic and stone plates that we choose to irrigate. The gacung is thrown into the box and we will climb up the boxes using one leg, and return to pick up the gacung to climb the next box, remember if your gacung is thrown outside the line or not in the next box then the next party will play.

Tali ye ye

This is a rubber that is strung and knitted up to 3 layers on the big toe to form a long rope. This is also a game we usually play. We start from the lowest level by tying the two sides and tightening it at the heels then the knees, at the waist the knot will be released, then at the armpits, proceed to the shoulders then the neck, ears tohead and finally lifting the rubber rope up as high as possible without tiptoe. Now, players only have to succeed in climbing each challenge to completion, if successful, usually the winner will carry the losing party to the distance determined by the winner. Usually there is always a strategy in this game. 😂

Samberlang

This is a game that drains us a lot of sweat, initially we will line the box with the level of the line, at the starting line it is guarded by 3 opponents in the middle is the mascot who can go to any line, and the second box line is by two people, and the third is also two people . The playing party will try to break through the boxes one by one and if struck by the opponent then the game will be continued by the next player until the opposing party runs out, and if only one person is able to pass through all the boxes then the opposing party will win with sanctions such as squatting 20 m or carry the winner up to 20 meters and the game is restarted.

kite (Layang-layang)

^{[Edited On BlackEr]}

This game is usually done by adam, but I also do this with friends. We took a small bamboo from grandfather's garden, then cleaned it and cut it according to the size of the kite we were going to make, then we bought kite paper for 5 hundred silver, and starch as a spread for the glue. We work together and usually we take turns playing it. It's such a pleasant feeling that makes me very happy.

This is a game that still exists today, but is rarely played. Children will definitely prefer to play with this game, apart from training their motor skills, their skills will also be trained. This game has been a joy and a beautiful memory in my mind until now. I can still remember how tired we were playing, then we went to the rice fields to irrigate shells, to the rice fields to look for mushrooms, even though we were finally scolded and chased with brooms. I am not alone, we are together and when playing we will knock on the door of a friend's house who is not present and if we are sick we will play in front of the friend's house.

I miss my childhood, and I will pass it on to my children and grandchildren, because games without the internet are better and invite good longing, and the benefits are also good. And these games will forget gadget addiction. These games are cultural heritage and are traditional games that must be cultivated.
