The programme offered children a colourful and engaging journey of experiences. In the Children’s Discovery Room and the Multimedia Room, children learned about the national flags of various countries, recognised familiar grains, practiced puppetry, printed Dong Ho folk paintings, and coloured traditional Southeast Asian costumes.
They also had the opportunity to learn about traditional music and folk art from different regions through documentary films about cultural heritage.
In addition, children also had the opportunity to experience traditional folk games such as Yut nori (a traditional Korean game), chuyen (a ball game), bagua (horse racing), rattling, and O An Quan (a board game), which helped them develop dexterity and thinking skills while also learning more about the entertainment culture of many ethnic groups.
Notably, at the Korean Room on the 3rd floor of the Kite Building, children had the chance to try on traditional Korean Hanbok clothing and learn more about the culture of the Land of Kimchi. Laughter filled the air as the children put on the colourful Hanbok themselves, creating memorable moments.
The highlight of the programme was the water puppet show performed by the Dong Ngu puppet troupe (Bac Ninh) at the Water Pavilion, featuring folk stories deeply rooted in the spirit of the Northern Delta region.
With a variety of activities ranging from exploration and creativity to fun and cultural experiences, the programme was a meaningful gift for children on International Children’s Day (June 1).
