Young- sters are able to duck under the lion head to dance and also control the lion’s eyes and mouth. Shortly after performing the lion dance, children learn about popular musical instruments in Vietnam — a bamboo flute, a monochord, a moon lute, and a zither. Around the next corner is Bau cua ca cop, a popular betting game, as well as a challenge to cross a bamboo bridge without holding the handrail. Before leaving the exhi- bit, everyone has a chance to look at the Vietnamese zodiac wheel where they can locate their zodiac year. Chuc Mung Nam Moi! (Happy New Year!)
