Yin Yang Yolo (Legend of the Ghostbuster Bros)

Learn about the meaningful and lesser-known legends associated with the Hungry Ghosts Festival, and never look at this anxiety-inducing festival in the same way again!

For ages 5-10.

 
Date: Mon 4 Sep, 2pm - 4pm

Location: Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Level 10, Practice Room, 1 Straits Boulevard Singapore 018906

Activities include:

 - Reflection activity on finding opposites in the world around us and understand the concept of Yin and Yang, the delicate balance of life.

- Original game on “Life Is A Balancing Act” involving 1m-long sticks, teaching children how in life, when we want something, we may have to let go of something else. 

- Introduction to the legend of the First and Second Grand-uncles, a touching ancient tale of faith and righteousness.

- Introduction to the legend of an even lesser-known character: Third Grand-uncle, and his origin story that demonstrates the importance of filial piety.

- What is the meaning of the 戴孝 ritual, done at the funerals of our loved ones to show how much we love them? We will guess what the different colours of the tiny cloth badges we wear at funerals mean, and how they remind us of our family ties.

- Original game using abacus (the traditional calculator) on how good and evil are rewarded and punished. Realise that even when we make mistakes, we can always try to make up for it.
