Students and parents brought in another New Year at Keysborough’s Dhamma Sarana Buddhist Temple.
It hosted the Sinhala New Year Festival on Sunday 25 March.
The temple, which runs a Sunday school, organised games for kids.
A lime and spoon race replaced the traditional egg and spoon balancing act, pin the eye on the elephant replaced pin the tail on the donkey, and there was a costume parade, three-legged race, musical chairs and tug of war.
Victorian Multicultural Commission representatives spoke and traditional food ceremonies took place.
