Mamagandal or 'manakai' is the process of carrying paddy sacks (“bandu”) using a buffalo to transfer the sacks from the seedling area to the paddy grain barn reserve (“tangkob”). This activity that has become a traditional game was introduced to highlight the originality of the daily activities of the KadazanDusun ethnic in Sabah during the harvesting season. This game displays culture and speed, perseverance and physical strength of the tribe in utilising the transport system in the past, in the muddy and puddle conditions of the paddy field.

In the KadazanDusun language Migogo means "to hug someone’s or an opponent’s body and drop him with the hands". This traditional game is an activity of the KadazanDusun ethnic that is usually played on the paddy fields after the planting or harvesting seasons. The male players compete with their strengths and skills to attract the attention of village girls to be made as wives. Popular in the 1930s and 1940s, presently since the 1950s this game is made as one of the activities in the Kaamatan Festival celebration that is the festival after paddy harvesting.

Rampanau or Minsurukud is popular among the Dusun communities especially in the districts of Tambunan, Keningau and Ranau in Sabah. Nowadays, this game can only be seen in the Pesta Kaamatan celebration that is the festival after the harvesting season, and rarely played by the communities due to the influence of the flow of epoch modernisation. This game usually uses a sago palm tree branch, hard wood and two bamboo sticks measuring about three metres to 10 metres specially designed as high heel shoes. The sago palm tree branch and hard wood are for placing the feet. The bamboo is punched to make a hole measuring about eight centimetres to five centimetres. To play, the players must walk or run using this 'rampanau' tool. Players who fall down are considered losers.

The traditional art of whistling calls for human teeth and lips to function as the music instrument and the mouth cavity to function as a sound box. Whistling is classified into the following three types: tooth whistle, lip whistle and palate whistle. The reasons Mongolians whistle is greatly dependant on the season, time, location, and context due to that from ancient times Mongols have considered whistling as a call for wind. Mongols whistle the short and long songs, and melodies in hot days of summer and autumn season while herding livestock and during the labor for relaxing. Before mentioned, Mongols believe that the whistle can bring the deity of wind, therefore they do whistle while harvesting the grain for blowing the skin of grain.
