Effectiveness of the Legal Playground model

With the passion to innovate the work of propaganda, dissemination and legal education for children, Director of Dong Nai Provincial Children's House Truong Hai Thi has initiated a solution to innovate the content and form of legal propaganda for children through the Legal Playground Program. This is a program that applies a variety of visual and vivid interactive forms, helping the law become closer and more accessible to school-age children.

The Legal Playground model was awarded a certificate of merit by Dong Nai Provincial Youth Union and recognized as a typical youth project at the provincial level in 2024. Notably, the model won second prize in the Dong Nai Provincial Technical Innovation Competition in 2025.

Create an effective "long-term" playground

Director of the Provincial Children's House Truong Hai Thi said: The situation of juvenile law violations has recently become more and more complicated and poses significant challenges for families and society. Meanwhile, many schools still carry out legal propaganda in the traditional way and create little interaction with students.

Identifying the work of propagating, disseminating and educating the law for students who come to live and study at the Children's House and children in the province as an important, regular and continuous task, Mr. Thi thinks that it is necessary to change the propaganda method to make it practical and effective. In 2024, the Provincial Children's House will start implementing the Legal Playground Program for children to propagate and disseminate the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws; educate ethics, orient lifestyle, culture, provide knowledge and life skills, handle real-life situations related to the law for team members, children and students in the area...

To operate the model systematically, Mr. Thi has built 3 key groups of solutions. First, determine the propaganda content for each stage; The Children's House builds a plan for the year, month, week and updates the laws and topics necessary for children. The program is for children from 9 to 15 years old, including 3 main contents: the game show Legal Playground; the Law Q&A program; the online contest to learn about the law called I learn about the law.

Second, diversifying implementation methods. The Children's House implements the content of the legal playground program, develops the exam questions for the game show, the script for the Legal Q&A Program, films, edits, and designs propaganda content.

The final solution is to promote coordination and propaganda work on the media channels of the Children's House, Dong Nai Provincial Youth Union, Bien Hoa City Youth Union (old), Provincial Lawyers Association, Provincial Police Youth Union, etc.

Huynh Minh Tam An (grade 9 student, Thong Nhat Secondary School, Dong Nai province) shared: “When participating in the game show Law Playground, I felt that this was an extremely useful experience program. Legal knowledge that seemed dry became closer and easier to understand. Thanks to that, I know more clearly about my rights and obligations as well as how to behave in real-life situations in accordance with the law.”

The creativity of the new model

Thanks to extensive coordination, the model has a greater reach and the consulting content ensures high expertise. Many diverse activities attract a large number of students.

Specifically, in 2024, the Children's House organized the recording of 10 episodes of the Law Playground game show with the participation of 40 contestants from 23 secondary schools in Bien Hoa city (old); each program had 4 contestants competing in 3 parts: multiple choice, answering questions and handling legal situations. Produced 20 Law Q&A programs, broadcasting 2 programs each month on the information channels of the Children's House, Dong Nai Provincial Youth Union, Bien Hoa City Youth Union (old), Provincial Lawyers Association, Provincial Police Youth Union. Organized 10 exams on the Children's House fanpage (Online multiple choice contest I learn about the law) and attracted 1,318 contestants, of which 896 contestants answered all 4 questions correctly.

In 2025, the Provincial Children's House coordinated with the Community Legal Consulting and Teaching Team (University of Economics and Law) to organize a weekend playground in the form of a Mock Trial and a legal propaganda lecture on the topic of Traffic Safety. Coordinated with the Bien Hoa City Youth Union (old), the Lawyers Association and the Provincial Police Youth Union to organize the Legal Playground Program... These activities attracted a large number of students to participate, providing them with an opportunity to directly experience and better understand the litigation process as well as legal regulations in practice, contributing to raising awareness of law compliance.

Not only creating a healthy playground, the program also expanded its reach by broadcasting on social networks, helping many students to participate and follow without being limited by space and time. Up to now, the Legal Playground model has become a bright spot in the work of propaganda, dissemination and legal education for teenagers, helping to spread awareness of the rule of law in the community and creating a solid foundation for the younger generation.

“After nearly 2 years of implementation, the Legal Playground model has brought about remarkable results. In particular, this model can be widely applied in mass organizations, political and social organizations from the province to the grassroots level and replicated throughout the province,” Mr. Thi shared.
