Leave Your Gadgets at Home, Play Traditional Games Instead!
The children in Pontianak are having fun. They have left their gadgets behind in order to play galah hadang (Kabaddi) during the Traditional Games Festival. The sport is exciting and healthy.
Digital gadgets, on the one hand, can have positive impacts. On the other, however, undisciplined use can hamper children\'s development. It is best to enter a new environment on weekends by playing traditional games. Aside from being fun, they donβt cost much and also helps develop children\'s smarts.
Around 160 students from preschool to senior high school gathered on Saturday (7/3/2020) on the field of Rumah Radakng traditional house in Pontianak, West Kalimantan. They did not spend their weekend at the shopping mall, and instead took part the inaugural Traditional Games Festival, held on 7-8 March 2020 in Pontianak.
