I often play some traditional games after supper. Such as dancing, various competitions and many other recreational activities. There is a game called cranberry contest, in which a large bowl filled with cranberries is placed on the ground, and 4~ 10 contestants sit together, each of whom sends a needle and a thread.

At the beginning of the game, they threaded the needle first, then strung the cranberries one by one, and it took 3 minutes to arrive; Whoever pulls the longest rope will win the prize. As for the person who dresses the slowest, everyone jokingly gave him the worst prize.
