Ice water has many variations such as sili sili maanghang, where the taya must chase the other players, once they are tagged they must shiver or fan their mouth.

Mechanics

The players must decide who the taya is by singing this chant: “Ice Ice water, change your foot, if your shoe is dirty, please go home and change it!” while pointing on each player’s foot on every syllable. The player whose shoe gets pointed at “it” they would have to put away their foot and change it with the other, and it goes until all the other players are eliminated. The last player whose foot is not eliminated will be the tagger or the “taya”

Once there is a taya, players can now start running away from them but once the player is tagged by the taya, they must stay at the place they were tagged, they either do actions like they are shivering or fanning their mouths. To save the tagged player, other moving players can tag them and must shout “water”. Once the taya tagged all players, they will shout “Viva Jump/Sit” and the last one who will do the viva challenge is the next taya.
