Lovely Play & Recreation

Recommended for upper grades! A fun, educational quiz for elementary school students

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.

Upper elementary school students are deepening their friendships and starting to have firm opinions of their own.

It’s also a time when they take an interest in many things and enjoy learning.

Crab is often called the king of winter delicacies.

Snow crab, king crab, hanasaki crab, and horsehair crab—each has a distinct flavor that brings smiles to those who eat them.

Snow Accident Prevention QuizNEW!

Where do you live? If you live in Hokkaido or the Tohoku region, snow is probably just an everyday thing, right? If you live in Okinawa or on the Pacific side of western Japan, snow is pretty rare, isn’t it? Every year, when a little snow falls, we see serious news about trains stopping in urban areas like Tokyo and Osaka, and people slipping and getting injured.

So whether you’re familiar with snow or it’s rare for you, how about preparing for it with a snow-themed quiz? I especially want people from regions with little connection to snow to give it a try.

There are even competitive snowball fights, so if you’re curious, be sure to check them out!
