Wonderful school festival / cultural festival

[Casino at the School Festival] Introducing classic casino games like cards and dice

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Real Life Game

I don't want a life like this >< Giant Real-Life Game of Life ☆ himawari-CH

Real Life Game

A giant, real-life version of a sugoroku-style Life Game is an idea where you can incorporate spaces and events you’ve thought up yourselves.

Players advance by spinning a roulette or rolling dice and actually walking along the board.

When someone lands on a space like marriage, changing jobs, or winning the lottery, it’s fun to have classmates act as event staff and add some flair.

If there’s a storyline unfolding along the path to the goal, it will draw in the audience as well.

If you design it for large groups, people can enjoy watching others progress while they wait their turn.

Its appeal is that students of any grade can enjoy it.

Dice and Card Game (1–10)

Blackjack

Rules and How to Play Blackjack, Taught by a Las Vegas Casino Dealer

Blackjack

Blackjack is also one of the most famous card games and is very popular in the casino world.

Since blackjack is a game where the player faces off against the dealer, casino staff participate as dealers.

The basic rule is simple: add up the values of the cards you’re dealt, and the side closer to 21 wins.

However, if the total of your cards exceeds 21, you lose immediately.

Deciding how much risk to take and how to play each situation creates a tense and exciting battle—that’s the appeal of the game.

poker

[Do This Now] A professional gambler explains poker rules in the clearest way in the world. [Texas Hold’em]

poker

Poker is one of the most popular games played in casinos.

Although the term “poker” covers many different rule sets, what they share is that you form hands with cards and compete based on the strength of those hands.

The variant that enjoys global popularity in casinos is called Texas Hold’em, but if you’re running a booth at a school festival, the simpler draw poker might be a better choice.

Its appeal lies in the psychological battle of inferring the strength of your opponent’s hand from information such as how they bet and, in the case of draw poker, how many cards they exchange.

Baccarat

[Paradise City] HOW TO Video: Baccarat (Game Rules)

Baccarat

Baccarat, the card game known as the “king of casinos” for its fast-paced conclusions.

Cards are dealt to the Player (first) and the Banker (second), and you bet on whichever hand’s total’s last digit is closer to 9.

Because you can enjoy it without bluffing or special skill, that simplicity is likely a big part of its appeal.

Of course, it’s also easy to include as a booth attraction at events like school festivals since anyone can join and play.
