Bakiak, is the one of popular game in many circle in Indonesia, especially in the village. Bakiak is game derived from Sumatra Barat. This game usually played when the celebration day such as independence day and else, as a compitition.

well..... the first thing that I want to tell you is about the material of this game: that's made of long wood that smoothed in the surface, so it's look like ice skating. But the different is in the surface of the wood there are slippers on it. This game is usually played by 3-4 people, no matter who they are, either childreen or teenagers or even adult people can play it, then we have to make a goup, for each group have one pair of bakiak, so they can use to put their feet on both of bakiak.

And the second one is about how we play this game: well, after every players put their feet on the slippers, they must to be able to move their feet together, and as it was so, otherwise they may fall on the ground and that mean's they failed. Because the rule of this game is who one that can reach the finish line, in this case the group. so they will be the winner of the competition.

And the value that we can learn from this game is testing agility, leadership, teamwork, creativity, insight and honesty.

Really fun game.....!!! :-)
