Traditional folk games of Vietnamese
As a result of the modern life, after school time, children in cities are lack of space, and childhood friends to play together. While parents are busy with their business, the children are kept inside 4 concrete walls and entertained themselves with watching television, talked to their toys or playing video games.
However, these traditional folk games still have very strong and magical attraction to every kid. They might not play it very often as I and over generations did, but the stories about these folk games will still be told in every family. And thanks to the Museum of Ethnology for their effort to preserve these invaluable cultural heritage. If you are planning, mark your agenda for a visit to visit The Museum of Ethnology, may be treats and range of folk games are still available.
