Programs and games for Children

It is amazing that in the traditional society there were nearly 300 kinds of folk games for children. More than that adults were happy to play together with their children. These former games were mostly characterized by the joy of movement, exercise and creation rather than the desire to win at any cost though the winning – losing outcome had always been part of the game.

The Festival of Folk Arts awaits the little ones and the big ones alike with games to enrich body, soul and spirit alike. It will be an exciting experience to jointly try the traditional crafts of the past and it will surely be a great success the Adults’ Corner, the Women’s Workshop or the Laundry. The little ones can relax in the Baby Corner while the folk logic, folk skills and traditional sports enthusiasts will be delighted to discover more and more fun. 

The folk associations participating will await children and parents with toy workshops and many interesting games and activities.
