After finishing registering in the morning, monks guided little learners coming to the lecture hall to participate in funny activities, acquiring poems titled Lessons for Kids.
Next, Junior Thich Tam Thiện, one of monks of Hoang Phap Pagoda, preached a dharma talk with the theme Awareness of games and social networks.

Playing games for too long takes a lot of time to study, help parents with housework; causing damage to health; infected with bad habits in the game instead of exercising outdoors, making friends, and going to the temple to study religion. Regarding social networks, the monk mentioned three benefits: Providing good and fast knowledge; connecting with friends, people; is a good learning tool. However, if all young listeners use it inappropriately, it will take a long time; imitate bad news; It is easy for others to steal information and deceive. Therefore, he reminds young learners to know how to use Games and Social Networks in moderation and reasonably to benefit themselves; otherwise it will destroy our lives, people.
In the afternoon, all the children came to meditate and read the poem "I'm grateful to the Buddha." After that, there was a program to share and answer questions about Buddhism by Junior Ven.
