The Spring Festival was full of laughter, happiness, and experiences
“This was my first time playing bingo; I felt so happy!”
“I like to play bamboo jumping!”
“I will take the “to he” home and give it to my sister!”
Returning from the Spring Festival 2024, Jaguars could not hide their joy and excitement as they experienced many memorable moments with their teachers and friends in a place filled with traditional Tet festivities.
If folk games such as bamboo jumping, and mandarin square capturing, brought Jaguars back to the old days of Tet, guessing the items and sack race helped students improve their team spirit. If the bingo game and musical performances made the whole hall’s atmosphere explode, activities such as making “to he,” “Chung” cake, and lucky money envelopes helped the students have moments of relaxation.
Whether dressed in traditional Tet clothes or modern fashion, the Jaguars all harmonized in unison towards promoting the good traditional values of the nation during the Lunar New Year.
