The atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival signals another season of union members. This is also an opportunity for family members to gather together to enjoy the feast and watch the moon. Some common activities will help the big family have a meaningful time, connecting together during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Making traditional moon cakes
Instead of buying pre-made cakes, go to the kitchen with family members and make the moon cakes yourself. This activity will help bring a memorable experience when you can make delicious and flavorful moon cakes.
In a cozy cooking space, grandparents can teach the secrets to making an attractive mooncake. Parents prepare ingredients and flour, while children can participate in baking cakes with funny molds.
The results are not only nutritious cakes but also ensure safety and hygiene as well as bring many beautiful memories to each person in the family.
Breaking the moon look and telling the story of the full moon night
Breaking the moon-watching feast will be an indispensable activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's prepare a creative feast together where each member can contribute a part, such as pruning fruit and arranging candy.
The tray does not need to be too elaborate but can show fullness with many colors such as grapefruit, pink, na, banh mi, banh sti...
Under the full moon, the members break the tray together and it is also the time when grandparents and parents tell their children about the story of Uncle Cuoi and Ms. Hang and the meaning of the Reunion Festival.
Stories passed down from generations not only help young people better understand their roots and traditional ethnic culture but also create a space of deep connection, warm family affection.
Making lanterns and lantern rides on the night of the full moon
The images of the brilliant star lanterns and carp are an indispensable part of the childhood of children. Together, make small, pretty lanterns from simple materials such as bamboo, foam, and glue to bring a lot of joy to the whole family.
grandparents and parents can instruct their children and grandchildren to remove bamboo sticks, create frames and stick colored paper. This is also a way to help children learn to be patient and creative in creating traditional toys during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the full night of the 8th lunar month, the moment the family holds in hand the lanterns they made to walk around the Mid-Autumn Festival will leave an unforgettable mark.
