Children’s traditional games are one of the national treasures inherited from long ago. The games are passed on verbally from one generation to the next. Only a few remain in existence today. The uniqueness of the games can be seen through the patterns, game rules, materials used, and the dialogue in the games. The games display a high level of creativity and imagination among the players. This series is a collection of 100 types of children’s traditional games. Each title is complete with the background of each game, game rules, including ways to determine the winners, the voting system, and the glossary with specific terminologies. This guidance series is developed for the use of educators, librarians, researchers, and scholars of cultures.

Titles in this series:
RAM-RAM RIP, RANGKAI-RANGKAI PERIUK (POTS CHAIN),
DA DA KO, DATUK HARIMAU (GRANDPA TIGER),
JARUM MAS (THE GOLDEN NEEDLE),
CAK LERANG BENANG MAS (WEAVE THE GOLDEN THREAD),
TEBANG, TEBANG TEBUK (CUT DOWN AND BORE),
CONGKAK LUBANG SEPULUH (10-HOLE CONGKAK),
TINGTING GULA BATU (HOPSCOTCH),
GELEK TEMPURUNG (ROLLING THE COCONUT SHELL)

This series of books was introduced at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2015, at the Malaysia pavilion.
