During the introduction, Falun Gong practitioners explained that Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong, had five sets of exercises. Unlike competitive sports, it had slow and smooth movements and meditation. Falun Dafa upgrades the spirit because it requires practitioners to follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance". It stresses virtue and helps students concentrate on their school work.

The teachers and students learned the five sets of Falun Gong exercises to music and studied the Falun Dafa display. The school prepared local pastries for the Falun Gong practitioners, who came a long way for this activity. Students also learned how to say "How are you?" and "Falun Dafa is good" in Chinese.
