Chapteh

What is chapteh? Chapteh is a traditional game that requires great dexterity and balance in keeping a feathered shuttlecock in the air for as long as possible by kicking it up with the heel of the foot.

History of chapteh The earliest reference to a game of kicking a feathered object dates back to the 5th century BCE in China. Later known as ti jianzi , which means “kick little shuttlecock” in Chinese, the game was used to train military men. In Singapore, the game is known as capteh. The name is thought to be either Malay or Hokkien in origin. Variants of the name include chapteh, chaptek and chatek. It was also included as one of the activities for the Sports Hub Community Play Day held on 17 September 2016 at the National Stadium.

Ways to play Can be played individually or in a team When played individually, each player is judged on the number of kicks he makes. To decide who plays first, each player kicks the chapteh with his heel, without putting the foot down. The one with the highest score before the capteh falls to the ground or before his foot touches the ground is the one who starts first. For the game proper, each player kicks the capteh until he misses it or loses his footing. The player is able to put his foot down with each kick. However, he is not allowed to use his hands to touch the capteh.

When played in teams, the play area for each team is marked with a circle drawn on the ground. Each team makes a circle. The game is played in the circle with the first assigned player attempting to keep the capteh in the air until it falls to the ground within the circle. Then the next team member continues the count while playing in the circle. This continues until all team members have taken a turn in the game. The winning team is the one that scores the highest number of total kicks.

Gasing

What is gasing ? Gasing, a spinning top, or simply a top, is a toy with a squat body and a sharp point at the bottom, designed to be spun on its vertical axis, balancing on the tip due to the gyroscopic effect. Gasing is a traditional games popular among Malay. Especially amongst the villagers in the State of Kelantan and Melaka. Once set in motion, a top will usually wobble for a few seconds, spin upright for a while, then start to wobble again with increasing amplitude as it loses energy (angular momentum), and finally tip over and roll on its side. Tops exist in many variations and materials, chiefly wood, metal, and plastic, often with a metal tip.

History Gasing have been used since antiquity in solitary or competitive children games, where each player tries to keep one's top spinning for as long as possible, or achieve some other goal. It is a one of the oldest recognizable toys found on archaeological sites. Gasing originated independently in cultures all over the world. The ubiquity of gasing lends to the fact that the toy is used to name many living things such as Cyclosa turbinata, whose name comes from the Latin roots for gasing.

Besides toys, tops have also historically been used for gambling and prophecy. Some role-playing games use tops to augment dice in generating randomized results; it is in this case referred to as a spinner.

Guli

History Guli, is a toy as known as \" marble \" in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. The game of guli is very popular with children everywhere in Malaysia. Guli is a traditional Malay game that is loved by children in their spare time. It is usually played by boys between the ages of seven and twelve. Guli are also usually played in summer or drought. This is because players expect dry ground for the holes to be dug. When the rickshaw lands, the game of guli is not fun because the guli will become sluggish.

Ways to play guli 1. To start the game each player must slide a guli into the master hole. The guli that go into the parent or nearest hole are counted as the first player to start the game and are followed by the second guli closest and so on. 2. The first player will flick his guli to all the guli inside the circle to get out. If the flick does not hit it is considered dead and the second player will make a flick to the available guli, so on until all players have finished making flashes on the other player's guli.

3. A player may miss his turn but on condition that he must insert his guli into the master hole first. The player will ensure that his guli are always close to the master hole each time a flick is performed. This makes it easier for them to control the game. 4. Each change of turn to the next player, the player taking over the turn is required to insert his guli into the master hole first before he can tap the opponent's guli. If the guli does not go into the master hole, a turn for another player is given.

The wau bulan is bigger in size than other kites, usually as big as three metres, giving more space for elaborate patterns to be put on the body. It is made by pasting coloured papers on a bamboo crescent-shaped frame. The tradition of kite-making is usually passed down from generation to generation but most youngsters now seemed to have moved on to more high-tech hobbies. Thus kite-making had become the purview of true artisans.

Favourite colours used are gold, silver, red and green. Beautiful ornate designs are then worked into the design. But these are usually kites for exhibitions and decorations. Those for flying and fighting tended to be less intricate in design.

Wau Bulan carries a unique cultural heritage in Malaysia since the 15th Century, making it one of Malaysia’s most recognisable national symbols. When in 1972, the wau bulan was adopted as the logo of national carrier Malaysia Airlines, its position is cemented in the national pride.

Normally the wau will be played by two people, which will hold a wau and another called an interpreter who holds the rope bridge. When the wind blows, the rope will be pulled against the wind currents and how to extend until the draw string wau was high in the air. The ray of sunshine will add more beautiful wau colorfully decorated.

Conclusion We very much enjoyed the process of the research, and it was great to find out the background story of each of the traditional games. It is really unfortunate that the current generation seems to have little to no interest in these games, and they probably will only be seen in the history book not long from now. Hope that we could bring the traditional games back and make them great again.
