Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Vietnamese people are proud of their rich history and culture, with many deep-rooted traditions. This includes a pride for traditional ancient games! These games have been passed down through generations. Vietnamese people often play them during festivals, celebrations and anniversaries in communal houses.

In religious and cultural festivals, traditional games are common. Tug of War is one of the most popular traditional Vietnamese games. It helps promote strength and teamwork and raises the “never-give-up” spirit of the participants. Tug of War has become an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity icon which was recognized by UNESCO in 2015. A basic game called "bịt mắt bắt dê" (blind man's buff) has simple rules where one player, blindfolded, tries to catch others. On the other hand, "ô ăn quan" (Mandarin square capturing), a traditional board game, has a more complex structure and requires strategic thinking.

These games are often played face-to-face, which promotes social interaction and community bonding. Although modern entertainment has become popular, traditional games still occupy a special place in Vietnamese culture. Vietnamese people always try to preserve these traditional games by participating actively. Some cultural organizations are founded to promote traditional games to younger generations. These activities help young people recognize the value of their heritage.
