Top 10 Creative Ideas for Organizing the Best Mid-Autumn Festival Games for Kids

Mooncakes are a distinctive treat during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Nowadays, kids mostly receive mooncakes from their parents rather than making them by hand. Encouraging children to participate in a mooncake-making competition on Mid-Autumn night is a highly beneficial activity that helps them grow. The Mid-Autumn Festival becomes significantly meaningful for kids when they learn to make mooncakes themselves.

Mothers can organize an enjoyable game where each child makes their own mooncake, followed by a judging competition. Alternatively, kids can work together to create a giant mooncake, adding a lot of fun to the event. This game not only teaches children the process of making mooncakes but also instills an appreciation for the traditional value of hard work in Vietnam.

Organizing games on the Mid-Autumn Festival will help children feel relaxed and comfortable. Through the available data, the little ones will embark on a treasure hunt journey. Besides entertaining, the activities during this festival also help children develop cognitive and reasoning skills. If your area is spacious and well-managed, you can organize a Treasure Hunt game for the kids.

Divide the children into teams, each with a guide, and plan a series of games, each hiding a message. After conquering all the games, the children can string together these messages to form a common message, which is also the key to unlocking the treasure. The treasure can be a box full of candies and toys inside. Note that the quantity of candies and toys must be sufficient for every child.

Intertwined with the Mid-Autumn Festival are the images of Ms. Hang, Mr. Cuoi, the Jade Rabbit, and more. The August Full Moon will become more exciting if the children transform into fairy tale characters. Especially, the little ones can also transform into other favorite characters. This classroom activity ensures unique experiences for the children.

This is a game that every child loves, especially the girls. Moms, prepare costumes so that the kids can dress up as their favorite fairy tale characters. You can also plan a contest to choose the most similar character and award prizes to the kids. Alongside the contest are the 'feast' sessions with sweets and fruits.

There are many different Mid-Autumn Festival activities in the classroom, but one not to be missed is the singing and comedy performance from the little ones. In this part, the children will have the freedom to sing, showcase their talents, and perform songs related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as: The Star Lantern, August Lantern Parade, Fairy Tale Moon. Singing and dancing performances about Mid-Autumn Festival: Oh, the golden moon, I'm going to see the August moon, Lion dance... A play retelling the story of the Mid-Autumn Festival...

These are all healthy, beneficial games that moms can refer to when organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival for their children. The songs and dances should be related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which the kids eagerly participate in. In Vietnamese culture, Sister Hang is often mentioned as a friend of Mr. Cuoi, based on the legend of the Banyan Tree and Mr. Cuoi. The images of Sister Hang and Mr. Cuoi are closely associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival and are beloved by children. Let the young poets tell their stories in their own way!

With the lyrics 'Rước đèn ông sao, sao năm cánh tươi màu...', the song vividly describes the traditional lantern parade activity on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Paper lantern-making competition encourages children to unleash their creativity, cleverness, and a spirit of love and unity to create their own unique five-pointed lanterns. Joining together in a line, singing and parading around the classroom with lion dances, along with the famous characters Sister Hằng and Brother Cuội, adds excitement and joy to the little ones.

Lanterns are traditional Mid-Autumn toys loved by both boys and girls. However, nowadays, electric lanterns are readily available, causing many children to not know how to make paper lanterns. If there is enough space, mothers can collaborate to invite a craftsman to guide the children in making traditional paper lanterns or simple star lanterns with a traditional touch of the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can organize a competition to see which child can make the most beautiful or fastest lantern, or have the children work together to make a large lantern, which can then be used in the lantern parade.

For children to have a deeper understanding of the traditions and festivals of our people, the idea of decorating the classroom for the Mid-Autumn Festival is always highly regarded. Decorating ideas for the classroom on Mid-Autumn Festival are diverse. You can hang paintings, star lanterns, jade rabbits, creating the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the four corners of the room, in the hallway, etc. Each decoration detail should be closely associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Teachers can also display fruits, mooncakes, flowers, etc., on the table to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the children.

The Mid-Autumn Festival activity of building houses from sweets and models will undoubtedly enhance the creative ability of the children. Mothers can propose a theme and judge based on the predetermined criteria. The materials used can be assembling models (if possible) or using sweets from the Mid-Autumn Festival to assemble into houses, parks, etc. With this Mid-Autumn Festival activity, children will have the opportunity to express their thoughts and dreams about their dream homes.

If you live in an area with many children but limited play space, you can organize a program for the Mid-Autumn Festival for children to play puzzle games. Mothers can divide the children into small groups, allocate space for each group, use props such as boards and puzzle pieces for the children to stick together to create a meaningful image related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since this is a team-building game, mothers should choose puzzle pieces that are a bit larger, perhaps the size of a notebook, which is reasonable.

The overall size of the puzzle to be assembled is about 3x1 meters, with each group consisting of about 5 - 10 children. The material for the puzzle pieces that mothers should use is cardboard, which is both inexpensive, lightweight, and not easily damaged, making it suitable for young children. Each puzzle should have a small sample image so that the children know what the puzzle image is. The team that assembles the correct image faster will be the winning team and will be rewarded with gifts such as teddy bears, dolls, or cars... After the puzzle contest will be a lively feast and lantern parade, ensuring that the children will love it.
