The traditional game festival
I took part in a traditional games festival in my school in HCM City (chỗ này có thể thay thế được). The festival lasted for one day. There were three activities in this festival: water-fetching by hand, tug of war and mandarin square capturing. In the water-fatching by hand contest, three people from each team had to get the water by hand and pour the water into the bottle. In tug of war, ten people from each team have to pull a rope in the opposite direction from the other team. In mandarin square capturing, five people from each team placed one big stone in each of the rice field squares. The first player took up all the pieces of any rice field square on his/her side of the board and distributed one piece per square starting at the next square in either direction. When all five pieces are distributed, the player would repeat again and another player do the same too.The game ended when all the pieces are captured. After the three contests my group won the second prize. The festival was wonderful.
In our culture,there are many festivals,but I like most the rice-cookinh festival.
This festival is held every two years.But this year,it was held earlier than before.It was held in a communal house yard.This festival took one day.I joined in it with my family.
In this festival,there were three team,each team has six members and there were three contests : water-fetching ; fire-making ; rice-cooking.
In the water-fetching contest,every member from each team had to take one of bottles from a river bank one kilometer away and come back to the starting position
And in the fire-making contest, two members of each team had to make fire by rubbing the pieces of bamboo,the fire is made in the traditional way and the winners are the first team made fire.
Next,in the rice-cooking contest,six members of each team had to seperate the rice from the husk and cook the rice.
Finally,the judges ate the rice of each team,and the winner is the most delicious rice and the grand prize was awarded for my village.We were very happy and felt very excited.What a wonderful festival !
