Fun summer games for children in the highlands of Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Lack of playgrounds, not many choices like in areas with favorable conditions. The joy of summer days for children in the highlands is the folk games suitable for their age as well as the current conditions that parents and village authorities must ensure the work of preventing the Covid-19 epidemic.

| Being a safe village that has not been affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, every afternoon when the sun begins to set, the children of Mong Hop Thanh village, Xa Luong commune, remote Tuong Duong district invite each other to the open spaces in the village to play together. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| Due to the mountainous nature, finding a large open space to play is not much. However, in order to both have fun and ensure prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic, the children have consciously divided themselves into small groups, each group of about 5-7 children. The games they play are all very rustic physical games, suitable for the current situation, without gathering large crowds such as: jumping rope, jumping jacks, marbles... Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| Before each game, children often play rock-paper-scissors to choose pairs or priority. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| Coming to the highland villages, especially in remote areas, it is very difficult to see children exposed to technological games. That is why children often maximize their use of traditional games during the summer holidays. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| For children in the highlands, during the summer vacation, it seems like there is a lack of playgrounds everywhere. The main reason is that the locality does not have many playgrounds, facilities and funding. Therefore, during the summer, a proper playground is too far away for them. Photo: Dinh Tuan |
 |
| It seems like the children come up with their own games: sometimes they jump rope, other times they play hopscotch, tug of war, marbles, soccer, etc. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| Thanks to the active games, children become more active. Although there is a lack of playgrounds and life is facing many difficulties, the children in the mountainous areas do not lose their inherent innocence and optimism. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| I think, to create a playground for children, it is not only the local effort but also the cooperation of the whole community, so that children in the mountainous areas can have a safer, more rewarding and meaningful summer. Photo: Dinh Tuan |
