Nanay, Tatay () is a Filipino traditional children's game being played by girls. It was made popular during the early 70s

Gameplay

The game is played by two or more players while clapping and chanting the following Tagalog verses:

Nanay, Tatay

"Nanay, Tatay, gusto ko’ng tinapay, Ate, Kuya, gusto ko’ng kapé. Lahát ng gusto ko ay súsundin niyó; ang mágkamalì ay pípingutin ko!"

Nanay, Tatay

(“Mummy, Daddy, I want some bread; Big sister, Big brother, I want coffee. All I want, you’re gonna do; make a mistake and I’m gonna pinch you!”)

Nanay, Tatay

The moment a player makes a mistake, they will be "punished" by the other player by getting pinched on the nose or ear, or any other punishment of the winner’s choice.
