Long before the days of modern technology, Malaysian children had to be creative when it came to their pastimes. There were no mobile phones or online games to occupy their time. Instead, they had to make games with whatever they had. Here’s a look back at some of the games that made our childhood iconic…
1. Eraser Game
A couple of erasers are all you need to play this game. Instead of using the eraser for its actual purpose, we use them as game tokens! The game works by ‘flipping’ your eraser onto your opponent’s.

2. Batu Seremban (5 Stones)
Generally, girls are better at this game. The idea of it is to throw one stone into the air while scooping up the remaining ones AND catching the first stone before it falls. It’s a classic!

3. Bottle Caps
This is a classic multi-player game that tests a player’s accuracy. To determine who goes first, the player will have to ‘timbang.’ And then, the player will use the bottle caps to hit one another. Do you remember this?

4. One, Two, Jus!
A quick game that is similar to rock, paper and scissors. The loser of this game often ends up doing a ‘punishment’. This game is also used to decide who goes first, and to decide the members of a team.
