Chuseok is a holiday known as “Korean Thanksgiving” where families gather at one place to celebrate the harvest and abundance of crops. During Chuseok, many children play traditional games such as Gonggi, Jegichagi, Yut Nori, and Tuho. As Chuseok is a national holiday in Korea, many people have the day off. This makes Chuseok a day where everyone (both children and adults) can enjoy themselves through entertainment such as playing traditional games. Playing these games is a great way to interact with others and build a sense of community.

These traditional Korean games have come from the culture, history, and environment of the Korean Peninsula and have been played throughout history. They also have come from folk beliefs and developed during a time period in which the Korean Peninsula was an agricultural society. Koreans believed in gods who would protect their crops and land and exorcisms were even performed to increase their crops and animals well-being. Many traditional games involve using just the hands or feet. Overall, games are always fun to play and also a nice way to interact with others during a holiday like Chuseok!
