One leg Rabbit [Kratai-kha -diiew] One leg rabbit or Kratai Kha diew is a Thai urban game popular in the northern part of Thailand like in Cheng-Rai. This game duplicates from the rabbit instinct when one leg get hurt, and they need to jump in this way. To the post there are many rabbits in the northern part of Thailand, but the urban people hunted the rabbit for food, by using crossbow, gun, or catapult to shoot the rabbit. If they shoot on rabbit’s body, the rabbit will die immediately (The Subcommittees Dissseminate Thailand Identity, 1983). But if they shoot the rabbit leg, it will jump around by using another leg, and its act is really confusion. Then the urban people need to run and catch that rabbit (thaifolksport, 2010). There is no clear record to show when this game started, but in the past, they have another similar game in Thailand that happened in seventh reign of Thai; the กระต่ายติดแร้วนะ ((Kra-tai-tid-riew-na). And in that period there was also game that player needs to use their one leg to jump and catch other players, so it is believe that this game may start around A.D.1893-1934 and also it was okey in every of Thailand  (Wanni, W.A.. 1973: 177-178).

Player This game can be played in every age and gender. There are two ways to play one leg rabbit 1.	It is mostly played in groups by dividing the player into two groups. Each group will have around four to five players. This way of playing needs to be in two group (thaifolksport,2010). 2.	For the second way, they will have around two to three people or just small groups of players. Area The area is depends on the number of players. Mostly they will play in the wide court; for instance the courtyard, the playground, etc. The players need to draw 5*6 meters square on the ground and circle with 5-6 diameters outside the square (thaifolksport, 2010).

How to Play 1.	In a big group (4-5 people/team) a.	Divide players into two groups and make the agreement which team will be the defense group and which team will be the rabbit. Then draw the area line on the ground. The defense group needs to stay in the area to run away from the rabbit group. For the rabbit team, they need to wait for their friend who jump to play on the side that is the entrance of the rabbit team. b.	The rabbit needs to think of a word that has number syllable equal to the rabbit player. For example, if the rabbit team has four players, then they may use the word “January” and give each syllable to each player. One will get “Jan”, second player will get “U”, third player will get “Ar”, and the last player will get “Ry”. And they need to tell word January to the defense group without telling them who use which syllable before the game starts. c.	The game will start when one of runner group will say one syllable of the word loudly. For example, if they say “U” and the player in rabbit group who use syllable U need to go inside the area and chase the runner group by jumping on one leg and raise another leg without touching the ground as fast as she/he can. And he/she needs to try to touch the runner as much as he can. The runner can run with two legs, but if they get touched, it means the game is over, and he needs to get out of the area, d.	If another leg of the rabbit inside the area touched the ground, that rabbit will go back and it is game over for him/her, but if the rabbit can go back to his team, it means he can continue playing. e.	If the rabbit goes back to his team out of the area, the runner will say another syllable. The rabbit that use that syllable needs to jump inside the area like the first rabbit did. f.	The game will continue until the entire runner or the rabbit will be game over, or until the end of time that they agreed on. Then they will swap teams. The rabbit will be runner, and the runner will be rabbit. g.	If each group can make another group game over more than them by the time that they fix, or each team that can make the runner group game over faster than them by the time that they fix, or each team that can make the runner group game over faster than another group, they will win the game. They will play two or three times. Whichever group can win more than another group will completely win the game. 2.	In a small group It doesn’t need to play in team, but they will choose the rabbot by using the loser from Rock Paper Scissor, and fix the small area to play. If the rabbit leg touches the ground, that also mean the rabbit is game over, and other player need to find the penalty game. Some part of the rabbit will stretch his arm to herd the runner until his leg touches the ground. The rabbit need to use cheating skill and he need to move as fast as he can. Touching hair or shirt means the rabbit can catch the runner. (สารานุกรมเสรี,กระต่ายขาเดียว,2010)

Rules 1.	The runner cannot call the same syllable until every syllable were played. Only then can they call same syllable in a new turn. 2.	The rabbit needs to jump by using one leg in and out of are by using one side that they fix. If not, that player will be game over. 3.	The runners need to run in the area when the rabbit are chase. If the runner steps on the line, or out of area, that player will be game over. 4.	Those who get touched need to stay out of area until all. It will mean the rabbit learn team are winning and can get into play as runner. But if another leg of the rabbit touch the ground, that means that rabbit is game over. They need to change the player. If the rabbit can’t touch the entire runner in that area, they need to play as rabbit one more turn.
