The competition was held to respond to the mass movement of playing sports and doing physical training, especially commemorate 5 year Vietnamese’s Families day (June 28^th 2001 – June 28^th 206) and on the occasion of “the Month Campaign for Children”. The competition took place in one day with 3 rounds: in the morning, the families tried for “giving strength” and badminton and in the evening for “family knowledge”. The competition came on in an enthusiastic atmosphere with solidarity and the spirit of learning from each other. The results were that: the comprehensive first prize was awarded to the family whose members are Mr. Nguyen Trong Chinh, Mrs. Vo Thi Bach Yen and Nguyen Thi Van from Thong Nhat district; the comprehensive second prize was given to the family whose members are Mr. Huynh Tan Tien, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hanh and Huynh Tan Vinh from Dinh Quan district. It is known that the family winning the first prize will enter the National Families’ Sports Competition in the coming time.
