TAG-Confucius Institute Celebrates International Children’s Day

June 1st is International Children's Day, the favorite day for children. The children students and their parents and teachers from TAG-Confucius Institute (TAG-CI) got together happily to celebrate International Children’s Day.
TAG-CI was filled with joyful atmosphere and various interesting activities attracted children’s participation, including identifying the different character, picking beans with chopsticks, drawing facial features, pitch-pot and table tennis.
火眼金睛找别字就是从每页80个汉字中在规定时间内找出一个不同的字，该活动考验孩子们的观察力和反应速度。孩子们目不转睛地盯着大屏幕，很快就找出了那个不同的字。每人从三页中共找出三个不同的字就完成任务了，此时的他们开心极了。
Identifying the different character is a character game that one should find the different character within a specified time from 80 Chinese characters on each page. This activity tests children’s observation ability and reaction speed. Everyone stared intently at the big screen and quickly identified the different character. Every child found three different characters from three pages to complete the game.
In the bean-picking game, children hold chopsticks and carefully picked 10 beans from one box to another. Everyone was so concentrated, and when they successfully picked up a bean, it brought applauses.
In the facial features drawing game, the children were blindfolded and drew facial features such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc. in the designated areas. They were amused by the interesting facial features they drew and burst into laughter.
The pitch-pot game allowed the children to experience the ancient Chinese pitch-pot culture. Everyone aimed at the target and threw the arrows accurately into the pot one after another.

Carrying table tennis game tests children’s sense of body balance and physical coordination ability. They carefully carried the small ball on the bat from the starting point to the finish line, creating a tense and interesting scene.
According to the rules of game, after completing one game, one can get a stamp; after collecting five stamps, one can get a gift. All the children completed the five games successfully with five stamps and each one received a Chinese gift presented by Dr. Yang Songfang, Chinese Director of TAG-CI, who wished all of them a happy Children’s Day.
This activity not only provided the children with an opportunity to release their nature, but also allowed them to learn a lot of knowledge through games. On this day full of laughter and fun, the smile on the children’s faces was the most beautiful scenery. They felt the joy of the festival in their laughter and cheers, and their friendship was enhanced in the games as well. TAG-CI will continue to create more joyful and learning opportunities for children, hoping that they will grow up in health and happiness.
