A series of traditional folk games, including bamboo pole dancing, tug of war, sack racing, and blindfolded pig catching, added to the lively atmosphere.

At the opening ceremony, Pleiku Museum Director Le Thanh Tuan said the initiative aimed to help students “learn through play,” offering them meaningful experiences that deepen their understanding and appreciation of the nation’s cultural heritage.

He added that the program sought to make the Pleiku Museum a familiar destination for educational and cultural activities among students across the province.

The event was co-organized by the Pleiku Museum and eight regional high schools, with no entry fee required. The estimated organizational cost, according to local sources, was about VND 120 million (USD 4,700).
