Folk games and game tools are integral parts of a nation's cultural heritage, passed down through generations, reflecting the traditions, values, and history of the community. These games are not only forms of recreation but also serve as platforms for physical activity, intellectual development, social interaction, and community bonding. Folk games often involve simple rules and minimal equipment, yet they engage players in strategic thinking, teamwork, and physical coordination.
