Patok Lele is Traditional Game From Indonesia

Patok Lele Game is one of the traditional games commonly played by children and adults. This game is usually played in a spacious arena. Usually done in the yard or field. Because, in this game takes enough space to throw and hit wood pieces forward.

How to play is to use two pieces of wood, one long and the other small. Long wood in use for the bat and the other as a tool to be hit. To play the ground in a cylindrical shaft then a small stick is placed in the middle and a long stick to pinch the wood to get thrown away. When in the guard the guard tries to catch the small wood. If the guard fails to capture the small wood, there is a second chance to throw the wood from the stop position of the small wood that is thrown so that it concerns the large wood that is placed over the hole. If it does not work on the big wood, then the hunter gets the point.

This game is rarely found because in today's age children are more interested in online games and games through modern consoles. Children today do not want to feel the immediate pleasure experienced through togetherness in this game, very unfortunate to see the reality in today's society.But in some small and big areas like in rural Java Island and Sumatra island this game is still very popular because parents in these villages do not want to let young people now forget about this game. The essence given is that children today are not easy to forget about history from small things like traditional games.
