What is 'englek' or 'tapak gunung' in Indonesian games?

englek
noun · traditional game
Indonesian hopscotch, known by half a dozen regional names: englek in Java, tapak gunung (mountain footprint), engklek, teklek, gala-asin

Englek is Indonesian hopscotch. The basic setup is universal: draw chalk boxes on the ground, throw a flat stone, hop one-footed through the grid. The names shift by region: englek or engklek across Java, tapak gunung ('mountain footprint') almost everywhere, teklek in some Sundanese areas, gala-asin and taplak in others, each village keeping its own.

This Nakita parenting clip pitches englek/tapak gunung as a Lebaran-gathering game: « Tak butuh peralatan yang rumit, Moms hanya membutuhkan kapur, batu, pecahan genting » (no fancy gear needed, mums just need chalk, a stone, broken roof-tile). Players throw the batu, hop the grid, retrieve the stone, hop back. Cousins meeting for the first time bond over a chalk-line.
