The children acted the legend of Chang e and Hou Yi and Jade Rabbit.
Long ago, there were 10 suns. Animals and plants on earth suffered from the extreme heat. Hou Yi shot 9 suns with his arrow and bow.
Jade Rabbit sacrificied himself to become food for 3 immortals. There is a very good write up of the legends of Mid autumn festival here. http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/festivals/mid-autumn-festival-story.htm
There were moon cake making, Chinese riddles guessing and games. I didn't manage to take picture of moon cake making and many games as I had to participate in these activities.
The game of Hou Yi shooting the sun. Kids were given plasticine with a sharp needle at the tip.
The kids were to shoot balloons that were stuck to the wall.
Prize for guessing the riddle right.
The children carried lantern and walked round the center. However, Png Png did not want to join in as he was very hungry. So, we had to rush home.
