China Malls Turn Slipper Kicking Into a Viral Kids' Competition

In China, some shopping malls are hosting a funny new game called slipper kicking.

Kids take off one of their slippers and try to kick it toward special marked areas on the floor.

Each marked area gives them points.

The game has three rounds, so players get three chances to score.

Whoever ends up with the most points wins a prize.

The prizes are things like movie tickets and coupons for bubble tea.

Lots of people in the mall stop to watch and cheer, which makes the mall feel exciting.

Videos of the kids kicking slippers have gone viral on the internet.

Some people online think it is a clever idea because it brings more visitors to the mall.

It looks like a simple childhood game, but now it is a fun competition for everyone to enjoy.
