Korea`s most celebrated holidays according to the lunar calendar. "New Year`s Day" is seollal.
Seollal is January 1st by the lunar calendar. This dayopens a new year, so all relatives gather together, exchange greetings, and celebrate getting older. Most Koreans consider this the day when we grow in age by one year, rather than on our birthdays. Since a long time ago, when we come across neighbors during this festival, we call out to others, "Take care of yourself this year!," or "Good luck to you and your family!," or "Be rich!" We enjoy Seollal for three days by playing some traditional games dressed in Korea`s traditional clothes. This is not something you see everyday. So, the Seollal holiday is the best time to fully expose yourself to Korea`s traditional culture.

I`d like to talk about Korea Seollal`s Traditional Games,

「Jegichagi」Jegichagi are coins wrapped in paper with feathers attached, and you have to keep it in the air with your feet. It`s similar to a shuttlecock game played with your feet. According to legends, jegichagi originated from China`s martial arts, where martial artists trained by kicking small leather sacks.
How to Play the Game:
Four people kick the jegi in the direction of north → east → west → south →north, and the person who drops the jegi loses. Jegi is easily made with coins and Korean paper, but can also be bought at stationary stores.


「Neolttuigi」It looks very similar to a seesaw, but it requires perfect timing between the two persons to do it right. Neol is made with a sheaf of straw placed centrally under a thick, but slim and long wooden plank. A person gets on each end of the plank, and players jump up and down on the board in a standing position. Usually players are women. It looks easier than it actually is, and offers great traditional fun.

「Paengi」Paengi is an acorn-shaped, pointy object, which you spin and has taken on various shapes. Korea`s paengi uses a long string to spin it, and the longer the paengi spins, the better. There are many ways to enjoy the game,
