The contest was divided into 14 events including football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, tug of war, shooting, swimming and relay.

The children came out to the sports field with the pride of giving full play to their hope and talents amid the deep trust and expectation of the Party and the people. They fully displayed the team spirit and unity while playing fair games.

Drawing the audience's attention were military games that showed the daring spirit of the children preparing themselves as reserve military talents capable of substantially contributing to bolstering up the revolutionary armed forces.

Amid the joy and optimism of children playing colorful amusement games, the tug of war reached its climax.

In the contest, Mangyongdae Revolutionary School came first in schoolboys' category and Kang Pan Sok Revolutionary School in schoolgirls' category.

There was a prize-awarding ceremony amid the enthusiastic applause of participants.
