The "Binh Duong Children's Day" program for 2025 took place at the Binh Duong Provincial Children's House. This event was organized by the Provincial Youth Union in coordination with the Binh Duong Provincial Children's House, with the goal of creating an exciting competitive atmosphere and providing a summer playground for children.
Lots of exciting activities
The festival attracted many children, ranging from kindergarten to junior high school. The program began with vibrant performances such as "I Am Like a Sunflower" and "Binh Duong: The City of Love and Trust," presented by children from the Young Artists' Club.
The outdoor stage was particularly lively, filled with the energetic sounds of trumpets and drums from the Ho Van Men Rituals Club, along with various art performances that created an exciting atmosphere. Adjacent to the performance stage, attendees could enjoy a food court and an area featuring engaging folk games and activities.
Additionally, the organizers set up free reading booths, art exhibitions, and provided advice on studying and summer activities to help children develop essential skills during the break. This event offered a great opportunity for parents and children to explore and choose clubs, teams, and talents that aligned with their interests, thereby supporting the children's growth and guiding them in discovering their strengths.
Ms. Pham Nguyen Kim Thuy from Thu Dau Mot City, who attended the festival with her child, noted that the activities offered numerous practical benefits. “Children get to meet many friends, learn how to communicate, and build confidence. There are many games that encourage children to be more active and bold. Furthermore, activities like drawing, dancing, singing, and storytelling help nurture their creativity and spirit. As a result, children can uncover their interests, and parents can identify their strengths to guide their development."
Colors of homeland
The Provincial Children's House also organized a contest called "I Draw the Colors of My Homeland," which includes nearly 1,000 children from two age groups: primary and junior high school. This painting contest provides an opportunity to stimulate children's thinking and artistic creativity, helping them discover new elements in painting to nurture and develop their talents. It serves as a useful and healthy platform for exchanging knowledge about painting and sharing creative ideas after school hours, while also contributing to the development of soft skills.
In the individual competition format, each contestant selects an image they wish to draw on A3 paper provided by the organizer. Using crayons, colored pencils, oil paints, and other materials, these young artists express their feelings, beliefs, and pride in their country, as well as their hopes for a new era in Vietnam.
Additionally, the program awarded scholarships to children for gifted classes at the Provincial Children's House, along with many meaningful gifts from sponsors. This support helps them continue to develop their talents, spreading joy and encouraging a spirit of learning and growth.
Mr. Nguyen Phan Thai Anh, Director of Binh Duong Provincial Children's House, spoke at the event, highlighting that the painting contest, themed "I Draw the Colors of My Homeland," is a significant activity to celebrate the August Revolution and National Day (September 2). Through this initiative, we aim to foster pride and love for the homeland and the Vietnamese people among the children, while also guiding them to continue studying, practicing, cultivating ideals, and actively participating in activities that benefit their families and society.
