Pupulu-Nai is an ancient Chamori game played by the Famagu'on (children and young adults). It is the Chamori version of the Hopscotch game to develop physical coordination and Stamina, excepting that the game board represents a 'latte stone' and has many different levels. The game is usually played outdoors and mainly on a sandy beach. The Chamori people were a stylish but creative lot, with an intrinsic sense of competitive adventure. They used Bayogo Seeds or Flat River Stones as pitching pucks, depending on the degree of difficulty required. (1 & 2) + (3) + (4 & 5) + (6) + (7 & 8) + (9). The Base Section and the Tasa Section are used for Advance Plays. These Advance Plays include Sequential Jumps, Taps, Hops, Dances, or other postured routines.
