Lout Bav or Jumping Bag Game “ល្បែងលោតបាវ” is a popular folk game that many Cambodians play during the Khmer New Year. This game is played to help all Cambodians unite, build friendship, and develop the agility and mobility of all young people.

How to play

First, four or more players were chosen and given them a sack each. Then, the players put all their feet into the sack and stand in a line. They set a goal for the jump, and if someone falls, they are the loser. If someone jumps the sack first without falling, they are the winner.
