Bati-Cobra is a classic “hitting and catching” game played outdoors.
It involves two (or more) players and requires a pair of bamboo sticks (1 long, 1 short).
To play the game, the batter tosses the shorter bamboo stick and strike it with the longer stick on the other hand.
The other player will then try to catch the flying stick.
If he succeeds, he gets the turn to be the next batter.
If not, the two players will play a hitting game to determine the next batter.
To do this, the longer stick will be put down on the ground.
The other player will then to attempt to hit the longer stick with the shorter one.
If he succeeds, the hitter becomes the next batter.
Otherwise, the same batter will retain his role.
