Gatrik or also called tak kadal is the one of traditional game in Indonesia which camefrom sundanese people. This game consist of two group as opponent, to play Gatrik we need a large field, and also the instrument from two bamboo, the first one is measuring of 30 cm and the second one is smaller than the first one.
how to play this game ?....
first we need to put the small one between two stone or other thing that can we use to put the small piece of bamboo, so there is a space under the smaller stick, why should be like that? because we will hit the smaller stick with the big one as far as possible, and make sure we hit the smaller bamboo sucessfully, because when we failed the other group will get their turn to play until the last player in their group. After being finish then the opposing group will give the gift took the form of the sling with the standard of the distance from small bamboo that was last as far as the beginning stone of the game was begun earlier. Increasingly far, then increasingly was glad being carried and the opposing group will be increasingly tired carried. Actually Gatrik the simple game, let's tray it and it will be fun...
we love our country, so we must save our culture through the tradional game that we have..
happy playing......
