CHATO/Siatong

Chato is played by digging a small hole on the ground and using 2 sticks - a short about 6 inches and a long one of 5-7 ft. Put the short stick on the hole with one end protruding out; hit that end with the long stick and while the short stick is in the air, try and hit it again as far as it can go. Then measure the distance using the long stick as the yardstick.

The winner then gets to hit the short stick, starting from the hole, as many times as his winnings. The loser has to run from that distance back to the hole, all the while shouting "CHAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAATO" or "Siaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatong! If he/she loses his breath while running, the winner hits the small stick again from that point, and the loser has to run and shout again.

Parents had stopped their children playing this game because it is not safe enough. Sometimes the small stick hits other player and usually in the face.
