Dexterity and Physical Skill Games

Luksong baka, which means jump over the cow in English and is a form of leapfrog, is a traditional Filipino game that originated in Bulacan. It needs a minimum of three players and allows a maximum of ten. One player takes the role of the baka, the cow, and the other players take turns jumping over that person. The main goal for each jumper is to clear the baka successfully without touching it and without falling over it. The game is a physical jumping contest, and it shows the leapfrog idea in a Philippine form with its own name and its origin in the province of Bulacan.
