Through the exciting qualifying, Toy Festival 2015 has held an impressive final with the attendance of all winners from the Asian International School gathered at the Thang Long campus on the 31st of March.
Toy Festival is one of the extra-curricular activities that students participate in at the Asian International School. Toy Festival is not only fun, but it is also the place where students get an opportunity to show their confidence, ingenuity, and creativity while competing and performing in an exciting atmosphere with their friends.
The Toy Festival Final 2015 took place in the form of individual competition and team competition. Based on the students’ talent and favorite, they are free to choose the game to join such as model assembly, statue painting, flower arrangement and car racing. The students must undergo speech and practice exams during the finals. Judges grade students according to two criteria: proficient performance and confidence in the ability to present their chosen toy in English.

“My daughter participated in the flower arrangement contest, so I came here to support her. I find that the Toy Festival, as an extra-curricular activity, is extremely useful for my daughter to develop her creative talents. Watching my daughter play, create, and challenge herself while studying something new is exciting for me. I’m very happy that both of my children study at the Asian International School.”
