Some small children are playing sandals throw in the area of the tsunami site, KPLP, Punge Blang Cut village, Banda Aceh, Aceh. This game is a traditional game that is often played by children in our village.
As the name implies, throw sandals (Acehnese: rhom silop) played with sandals. Sandals are arranged in triangular form, then the arrangement of the triangle is thrown with another sandal.
The players are divided into two squads. The first team is called jaga pong. This team is tasked to thwart other team missions targeted for sandal attacks. While the second team in charge of arranging sandals into a pyramid, but must avoid the throw of the opponent's sandals.
Simply put, this game is almost similar to a baseball game. But for game rhom silop do not use base as a place of safety for player. This game also does not require a vast arena like a baseball field.
Although this game looks hard because players attack the opponent using sandals, but rarely are children injured. This is because the sandals are used to attack the opponent is made of rubber, not sharp, and light. So when exposed to these sandals, just like someone hit by a regular rubber ball.[]
