 Activity 4 – Invent a New Game: Integrating Math, Science, and Filipino
During Family Day, observe Palarong Pinoy and identify key elements. Invent a
new game that integrates Math, Science, and Filipino concepts, outlining rules,
objectives, and mechanics. Reflect on the process and consider how this
interdisciplinary approach enhances the educational value of the game.
Reflection Questions:
1. What elements from Larong Pinoy did you incorporate into your new game?
2. How did you integrate Math, Science, and Filipino concepts into the game
design?
3. In what ways can games like these contribute to a fun and educational
experience for students?
The game I invented is called: "Kulong sa Bawat Sulok," it is a game where a a bunch of squares are needed (atleast 5 squares). A
gamemaster which would be the prisoner is in the middle while four participants (police) are at the corners of the square. The
______________________________________________________________________________
gamemaster would need to prepare questions regarding Math, Science, & Filipino concepts. Every correct answer of a participant is
______________________________________________________________________________
equivalent to one step forward facing the gamemaster. The one to answer would be decided with regards to who shouted the loudest
(just a simple "HU!"). If a police reaches the last step towards the prisoner, he/she would shout, "HULI KA!" then run away with the
______________________________________________________________________________
prisoner. The rest of the police can capture the prisoner if she/he dares to run, it would be their decision to help or arrest the prisoner. If
______________________________________________________________________________
the prisoner runs away, he/she wins. If the cops could run with the prisoner away from the square, the cop who won the question and
answer would win. To answer the first question, I included elements such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and the willingness of the
participants to win. To answer the second question, I integrated the following subjects by making questions regarding the subjects'
concepts. To answer the third question, games like these contribute to a fun and educational experience for students to test what they've
learn from their subjects and as well as a twist to test their critical thinking and fast reflexes skills,
Day 3: December 13 - Family Day: PlLarong Pinoy & Family
Activity 5 – Cultural Integration
Instructions: Research and share insights into the cultural significance of
Palarong Pinoy (traditional Filipino games). How do these games connect with
our cultural heritage, and how can they be linked to subjects like History and
Araling Panlipunan?
The cultural significance of Palarong Pinoy is that it displays the different cultures and practices of Filipinos back
______________________________________________________________________________
then and it can also improve one's cooperation, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. These games connect with our
______________________________________________________________________________
cultural heritage because it shows the vision of Filipinos back then. As an example, some games like Patintero and
______________________________________________________________________________
Piko are to be played outside a house, it shows that Filipinos or should I say the Filipino children back then loves to
play outside and it continues until now. We can integrate it to History and Araling Panlipunan by comparing it to the
______________________________________________________________________________
culture and history of Filipinos back then, on how they created these types of games as our tradition and culture now.
Activity 6 – Values Collage: Reflecting on Filipino Values and Personal Growth
For this activity, your task is to craft a collage that visually encapsulates Filipino
values and traditions. Use symbols, images, and words that resonate with the
essence of Filipino culture. As you assemble your collage, consider the principles
highlighted in Values Education. Reflect on the significance of family values in
Filipino culture and ponder how these values contribute to your personal growth.
Delve into the interconnectedness of family values and the development of one's
character and ethics. This activity serves as a creative exploration of the cultural
and personal dimensions, fostering an understanding of the role that values play
in shaping individuals within the Filipino context.

Day 4: December 14 - Christmas Jingle Contest & Mr. and Ms. CalNatSci 2023

inspiration from your Language Arts learnings. Consider incorporating literary
devices and elements such as metaphors, similes, or vivid imagery to convey the

Grade 8 Representative of the Supreme Student Learner Government '23-'24. She loves to sing and is also good in
public speaking and storytelling. She represented the school and won the cluster level for the Interpretative Reading

students I want to be friends with because according to her friends and classmates, she has an outgoing, fun, kind,
and lovely personality. Her talents bring recognition to the school's pursuit of excellence as she represents the school

focuses on improving how people could be more appreciative of someone and how we can communicate with them.
Day 5: December 15 - Year-End Party
Activity 9 – Year-End Reflection and Goal Setting
Instructions: Reflect on your achievements this past year and set academic and
personal goals for the coming year. Record these reflections and goals in your
notebook, linking them to your English, Filipino, and Values Education classes.
To start with, the greatest achievement I earned this year is to be able to serve in front of a crowd of Catholics
______________________________________________________________________________
in church as a lector. I had positive feedbacks so I really had the courage to continue serving for the Lord.
______________________________________________________________________________
Another is that I finished 7th grade With High Honors and Silver Seal of Excellence. Other than these two, I
______________________________________________________________________________
achieved being a first year teenager and by this, I think I should get more matured and fit well for my age. In
English class, I managed to express myself through storytelling and public speaking, meanwhile in Filipino
______________________________________________________________________________
classes, I managed to read poems and stories. In ESP classes, our group managed to reach the grade level
______________________________________________________________________________
competition for Bible Quiz Bee. As the year ends, I want to set academic and personal goals for my own sake.
I______________________________________________________________________________
want to excel more in my academics especially in English, Filipino, and ESP. I'll make sure that I will study
hard to get higher grades in order to reach the Silver Seal of Excellence. Personally, I want to improve myself
______________________________________________________________________________
to become a better person and a better peer to my family, friends, and classmates. I also want to become a
______________________________________________________________________________
good influence to all the people that surrounds me especially that I have two younger cousins and one to
come, I promise and I aspire to stand as an older sister who is responsible for all of her actions and who knows
what she's doing at all times.

interpretation. Embrace the synthesis of science and art, demonstrating how the
two realms harmoniously coexist in the pursuit of knowledge and creativity.
