VTV launches 'Tween Garden': New playground for 8-12 year olds
The new version of "Little Flowers" is aimed at 8-12 year olds, broadcast at 6:50 p.m. on VTV3, providing educational entertainment content through real-life challenges.
Vietnam Television (VTV) has officially launched a new children's program called "Little Flowers - Tween Garden", scheduled to air from November 2025. This is a modern version, inheriting the spirit of the familiar "Little Flowers" program, specially designed for audiences from 8 to 12 years old, also known as the "tween" age group.
The program will be broadcast at 6:50 p.m. every day on VTV3, providing a healthy educational entertainment space, focusing on developing 7 essential life skills for children in the 21st century.
Healthy entertainment space in the digital age
In the context of children being exposed to a lot of short and shallow entertainment content on digital platforms, "Tween Garden" was built as a quality alternative. Each episode is 5 minutes long, produced in the form of unscripted reality TV, helping children experience situations naturally.
The program features teenage protagonists, along with special guests, KOLs and experts to create a close and positive interactive environment. Journalist Nhat Hoa, Deputy Head of the Science and Education Department - VTV, said the program's goal is to connect with children in their own language, thereby nurturing "seeds of kindness" naturally.
7 days of experience with 7 life skills
Each day of the week, "Tween Garden" will focus on a different theme, helping children learn through hands-on activities:
- Monday - Creative Corner:Inspire artistic creativity and green ideas.
- Tuesday - Tween speaks:A forum for children to express their opinions and learn to communicate confidently.
- Wednesday - Exercise Challenge:Physical activities and team games.
- Thursday - Science Discovery:Fun experiments and scientific applications in life.
- Friday - Friends around us:Cultivate compassion and empathy.
- Saturday - Music & Dance Challenge:Develop confidence and artistic appreciation.
- Sunday - Let's Get Into the Kitchen Challenge:Learn self-reliance skills and nutritional knowledge.
This approach not only imparts knowledge but also helps children develop critical thinking, life skills and connect with traditional Vietnamese cultural values.
Multi-platform ecosystem, spreading positive values
"Tween Garden" is not only limited to television but also developed into a digital content ecosystem. Short versions, behind-the-scenes videos and extended content will be posted on VTVgo, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook platforms.
In addition, the production team also plans to organize interactive activities such as minigames, online challenges and a series of events at schools. The goal is to create a bridge between school, family and community, encourage parents to accompany their children in the process of growing up and build positive TV viewing habits.
