Cat and Mouse Game (Meo Duoi Chuot)-Vietnamese Folk Games
Vietnamese Folk Games
Along with the rapid development of urbanization and the invasion of Western culture is the disappearance of traditional villages and rice fields in Vietnam where people had nurtured and enriched the distinctive agriculture culture for thousands of years. Nowadays, we can only see the traditional games in some festivals and sadly, most of the kids do not even know the names of these used-to-be very familiar, healthy and exciting entertainments. This list video will show you about what and how Vietnamese people play in the past.
3. Cat and Mouse Game (Meo Duoi Chuot)
This is another group game that requires from seven to ten players. Beside two players chosen as cat and mouse, the others stand in circle, hold hands and raise their hands above head. Game starts by singing this song:
“Please come over here
Hand in hand
Stand in a large circle
The mouse will run through the hole
The cat will run after it
The mouse tries to run as fast as possible
But it can’t escape
Then the mouse will act as the cat and chase the cat, which is now the mouse”
The cat and the mouse stand inside the circle, backs against each other. The mouse starts to run once the song starts, and then the cat will chase the mouse. However, the cat must run in exactly the same route and manner as the mouse. The cat wins the game when it catches the mouse. Then the two exchange roles. If the cat runs into the wrong hole, it will be dismissed from that round.
If the cat fails to catch the mouse in a certain period of time, the two will exchange role with each other. The game will then continue.

Training for Phoenix the Bald Eagle
As you know activities to our birds to keep their minds healthy. We are also working on some other training to targets such as lures.
Lures can be an alternate and exciting way to deliver food to our birds. In these photos of Phoenix with our post today, we are using a hunting dog training lure that we modified so we can attach his favorite foods. Phoenix is "playing" with the dog lure with no food present. This is also good exercise for his feet!

Flying kite -Traditional folk games of Vietnamese
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.
Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to discover a great fun and findings with Vietnamese culture through these folk games and arts.
The most favorite folk games must be listed are: “Rong ran len may” (the game of Dragon and Snake), “Meo duoi chuot” (The game of Cat and Mouse), “Ban Bi” (Marble game in Vietnamese style), “O an quan” (Mandarin Square Capturing), “Tron tim” (Hide and Seek)… More than fun, these folk games improve the smart and observe ability in children.....

Flying kite -Traditional folk games of Vietnamese
Children of Vietnam often flying kite, the most important factor of a good kite is the quality of the bamboo frame.
“The frame should be made from old bamboo plants. They never use bamboo grown by a river, lake or pond, because the water can soften the bamboo’s texture. It’s ideal to chop the bamboo during the dry season in the eight or ninth lunar month because the texture is more durable during that time,”
