Traditional Khmer Games : “Sdarch Chorng”
Re: Traditional Khmer Games : “Sdarch Chorng”
I can't remember if i have played this game before. However i did remembered that i used to play some of traditional game. It is so hard to find equivalent words or phrases in English. I will just write them in khmer.prahkeitouj wrote:I played it when I was young. The most important person is the king( sdarch) in the game. S/he has to be honest. Yes, it is fun. You can also practice "telling who you love" . :p
Here are some of the games that i used to play
1. ពង្រត់កូនក្រមុំ
2. ខ្លែងឆាបកូនមាន់
3. អ៊ូរ
4. ដណ្ដើមស្លឹកឈើ
5. ផ្កាចំប៉ាផ្កាចំប៊ី
i don't know if you have play this game which you will be divided into two team and each team has each leader. Before we start playing. Each team leader will go to secretly name his or her team members with unusual and funny name. Then, the leader will go to the other side and blindfold one of the members and call out the funny name he or she named to his or her member. The person who is called will come over and do something to the one who is being blindfold, like gently hit his or her hand or touch his or her nose and etc. Then the person will have to guess who that person is. If she or he guess it right, the team will get one point and it takes turn.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

I think u refer to number 5. Yes , it's really fun. It helps to recognize people even we can't see them or hear their voice. All of our Khmer popular games have good advantages.
But when I was young I hated to be named stupidly by my leader. But it was fun when they called out our names.

haha you have no choice honestly. However being named stupidly and strangely is part of the game and without it, it wouldn't be fun at all. I wonder if we could play this game as adult.

If calling people stupid is a part of a game adults play, I think we can all play that game.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Bumping this old thread up with a 2020 paper on traditional Cambodian games:
Traditional Games of Cambodia

Teaching Materials; games; Traditional Games of Cambodia; Southeast Asia; All-ages
In modern Cambodia, many of these games are played at the New Year celebration. Theravada Buddhists hold this celebration in early to mid April, a time just before the planting season. In the villages the New Year celebration is a time to pray, to feast, and to play games that relax strict social rules.
You will notice that some of the games pit boys against girls; these games are opportunities for young men and women to get to know each other with parental supervision. The sie is great game for showing athletic ability and is often played by young men, while lek konseing and cat chases rat are usually played by younger children and perhaps some of the younger elders. Tres is a typical everyday kind of game that can be played alone or in a group.
