Pyongyang, January 17 (KCNA) -- There are folk games which Koreans like to play in winter. Yut game is the most popular one of them. Four yut sticks, one side of each being flat and the other side round. The result of playing is decided when they remain on the flat side or round side after each throw. This game is popular among families and frequent national yut competitions take place. A tug of war is also popular among Koreans in winter. Korean children like very much top spinning in winter as it is good for their physical training. One of the favorite games for children is kite-flying which begins early in winter and reaches its height in the 15th of the first month, January. Among the favorite winter folk games are sleigh-riding, playing with toy pinwheel and shuttlecock. |
