Clogs Race

Hi everyone. What's up? Today, I want to give you some information about a traditional game from Indonesia, named Clogs or in Bahasa is Bakiak. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Clogs Race or Lomba Bakiak

Clogs is a traditional game from West Sumatra. Children from West Sumatra who were born until the mid-1970s, often and usually play these clogs. Long clogs or what is often called a pumping pump in West Sumatra is a row of long rubber straps. A pair of 'clogs' must have at least three pairs of sandals or played by three children. Unlike the case with the area of West Sumatra, clogs are the name in Central Java for a kind of sandal that has a lightweight wooden sole with a foot strap made of used tires nailed to both sides. 

This is the look of Clogs.

And this is how to play Clogs Race.

1. Clogs are used like footwear by 3 players in 1 group.
2. Then enter the foot into the slot area, like in the picture
3. Each player should be connected as one. Because they are should walk together and move each legs together and move a step together. Right with right, left with left.
4. And this game should be played more then 1 group, at least 2 group. Because this game determines who is faster. The faster is the winner.
