(Baonghean.vn) - Not following the rules like other games, the areca tug of war game is an impromptu game that many children in the countryside participate in and have fun playing in their free time.
The spathe is the top part of the areca leaf, helping the areca leaf cling to the areca trunk. When the areca leaves are old and dry, the areca leaf falls off. In addition to the use of cutting the areca leaf spathe to make a fan, it becomes a areca leaf cart for children to take turns pulling their friends around the yard. Photo: Le Khanh Thanh
The game of pulling areca leaves has entered the memories of many generations, especially those who were born and raised in the countryside. A simple areca leaf boat but carries a whole childhood paradise if we can sit on it and let our friends pull. There is no winner or loser in this game. Just take turns pulling to save energy and enjoy the joy of having others serve us on a... areca leaf boat. Photo: Le Khanh Thanh

Just like that, the fun only ends when it is late, or some of the children want to go home or are called by their parents to go home. Photo: Le Khanh Thanh
