Games and children are inseparable. They are part of one’s growing up. StarLife checked Grade Six pupils of Andres Bonifacio  Elementary School II and here’s what they said when asked about their favorites games.

“To finish my studies and become a doctor one day.”

I like playing computer games. Through this, I can expand my thoughts and know more. Also, through computer gaming I can meet new friends, like in Friendster. But for me, the best game I played was when I was 7 years old. It’s ‘hide and seek’. Swimming is my kind of game, too.

Aaron Deramos, 12

“To be an engineer.

I always play basketball because it makes me  feel more active, alive, and strong. It makes my body healthy, too. Our P.E. teacher told us that this game originated in America and it used only a basket then with a ball to shoot into it.

Mark Raymund Garcia, 12

“To be a successful doctor.”

My favorite game is ‘hide and seek.’ This is my favorite because it is so exciting to play. This is played in hiding in one place, and the seeker begins to count, and one runs after the seeker’s place. Another is volleyball, because it is a good exercise to our body. Volleyball is so fun when you have many playmates. Through this sport, you can have many friends.

Eduardson V. Villaruz, 12

“I want to be a nurse and live abroad.”

Slipper game is my favorite past-time activity. It is so easy to play. All you need are spare slippers, place it in four opposing directions, and play against teams. Also, I like playing ‘hide and seek’ because I like to hide at night.

Girlie A. Carreon, 12

“To be a successful company employee.”

I and my friends always play slipper game. Just place five slippers, side by side, at the front, back, and center. Just make sure you have another one to kick. When you kick the slipper, run to the right direction and you should run as fast as you can. When the one holding the slipper hits you, sorry, but you’re out. When you’re not hit, you gain life points.

Janine M. Cayao, 12

“Always ready to be a Teacher!”

Like most of my friends, ‘hide and seek’ is the most challenging game I have ever played. If you are the ghost you will seek those hiding. And if not, find the best spot for you to hide and be careful not to be noticed. Everyday you can play this game. But remember to take care of your self since this is a dangerous activity at night. This is the reason why I like to play this game with my friends, brothers, and sisters.

Trisha Ann M. Dipa, 12

“To be a doctor and cure the sick.”

I really enjoy computer games. I spend most of my time during weekends in playing these entertaining and fun filled games. I also enjoy playing badminton with my sister. Sometimes, if I am with my friends we hang out together and ride our bikes. Also, I love playing chess with my cousins at home.

Philline B. Macaya, 12

“To finish my studies and be successful in life.”

I play many games but Dressing up dolls remains the best. This is the best game for girls like me. My friends and I always dress up our dolls. We enjoy it so much because we love fashion, dresses, accessories, hair colors and styles. Every Saturday, we organize a fashion show, and have our best dressed dolls, too. Dressing up game thrills me to become a fashion icon and designer in the future.

Riza P. Guardiano, 12

“To be a woman of success.”

Badminton is a game to die for. I find it adventurous and very exciting. I’m playing computer games, too. Trough this, I can discover many information and interesting facts. Sometimes, I spend my time playing Cell phone games and watching fairy tale movies.

Jonalea Mae V. Paglumotan, 12

“To finish my studies and become a successful woman someday”

I usually play badminton with my friends. It is so exciting that I got hooked to it. I also love playing games on my cell phone, it’s hip and portable. But most of all, computer games makes me want to sit and chat all the time. This helps you get so many information and trivia about our world and its people.

Aljohn C. Balaoro, 12

“To be a successful engineer.”

Like any other boys, Basketball is my sport. It makes me faster, higher, and stronger. It’s also a good heart-exercise. This game became an official sports in the Olympics in 1929 in Athens, Greece. This originated from the Americans.
