Hilarious jumping sack game
Kicking the ball with tied legs is so difficult
Among the games in the framework of The country’s fair and festival, the most competitive game is stick pushing. However, the players still can’t help laughing
Difficult but humorous blindfold catching pig game
The laughter of both winners and the spectators
The game going on the monkey bridge on Nhu Y River is not less humorous than others when it requires both courage and ingenuity in balancing from the players
Although continuously falling into the river, many women still join in this game
The more joyful the players are, the tenfold happier the spectators express
