The Traditional Games of Myanmar Ep 2

Описание: Myanmar, with a rich history spanning thousands of years, boasts a unique set of traditional games for children to enjoy. These traditional pastimes hold such appeal for Myanmar's youth that they sometimes forget even to eat. Among these cherished games are mango picking, cockfighting, pitch-and-toss, run-and-chase, cooking, elevated barricade jumping, shopping, pigeon-catching (where kids pretend to be pigeons), hopscotch, and the ghostly spirit of the bayan tree game. These games are widely played and renowned throughout Myanmar.

The elevated barricade jumping game is a team sport involving two teams. One team constructs barricades using their feet and hands, while the other team attempts to leap over them. In the cockfighting game, two teams compete, with victory going to the team with more members able to sustain the fight. The ghostly spirit of the bayan tree game, on the other hand, involves multiple players and requires teamwork, debate, and a mix of catching and running.

The substitution of mobile phones, tablets, and TVs in place of Myanmar's traditional games, which offer numerous benefits, must be addressed with utmost diligence. Efforts should be made to promote opportunities for children to engage in these traditional games, as it is through them that Myanmar can preserve its cultural grace, accompanied by the joyful sounds of children at play.
