Tet Nguyen Dan, also known as Lunar New Year, is the most special holiday of the year for Vietnamese people. It's a time when all family members, no matter where they are, return home to reunite with family and loved ones. Beyond being a time for family reunions, the beginning of the new year is also a season of festivals. During this time, every locality across Vietnam, especially in rural areas, organizes traditional festivals with many interesting folk games. In modern society, these folk games may seem less well-known, but in many villages, they are still regularly held annually, especially during village festivals, providing an opportunity for relatives and neighbors to bond. Each locality organizes different folk games according to its preferences and regional characteristics. However, there are still some prominent folk games that almost everyone knows.
