[Childcare] June Event Ideas! Great for Cavities Prevention Day and Family Day♪

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.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

In June, nursery schools and kindergartens hold events like Cavity Prevention Day, birthday parties, and Family Day.

A Little Stroll

Let’s enjoy a special little walk! Here are some ideas for short strolls.

Don’t many preschools usually make use of parks, plazas, and their own playgrounds for outdoor activities? This time, let’s try taking a brief walk to nearby preschools or public facilities! Interactions among the children, as well as with the people at these facilities, are valuable opportunities to nurture their social skills.

Even as their hearts race with excitement, seeing them reach out their hands and call out to one another really lets us feel their growth.

Eurhythmics play

[May Rhythmic Class: Let’s Play with Our Bodies!] For ages 3–5. Get moving with hoop play! Perfect for kids with extra energy ✨ Great for relieving children’s stress ✨ Music play, rhythm play—also usable in childcare settings.

Eurhythmics play

Let’s have fun moving our bodies with hula hoops! Here are some ideas for Eurhythmics (music and movement) activities.

Since children can showcase their daily activities at sports days or performance showcases, both parents and kids will be delighted! How about organizing a Eurhythmics recital using the familiar activities you practice regularly? By moving joyfully with hula hoops, children can not only develop a sense of rhythm but also improve their concentration and stamina.

Learning through play can help nurture a positive attitude toward music and physical activity!

June Birthday Party

[Birthday Party] Born in June

For children, a birthday party where they can be the star is such a delightful event.

If you have the birthday kids take part in a play that uses seasonal motifs, it’s sure to become a memorable occasion! Be mindful not to force shy children to participate, and aim to have the 4- and 5-year-olds take the lead—then you’ll have a wonderful birthday party.

To the children watching, the birthday child is someone to admire, and they’ll likely think, “I want to do that too!”

[Birthday Party] Performance: Balloon Play

June Birthday Party♪ Let's play with balloons♪ “The Frog Song,” “Denden Mushi, the Snail~,” and “Little Bear in the Rain” (Nursery school event staff)

[Birthday Party] Performance: Balloon Play

As a seasonal activity, here’s a birthday party idea using balloons.

Draw June-themed frogs and snails on balloons as you inflate them, and enjoy songs like “Kaeru no Uta” and “Denden Mushi.” The key is to inflate the balloons on the spot.

The kids will watch with excitement, wondering, “What’s going to happen next?” You can also give the finished balloons to the children as gifts.

Have a wonderful birthday party!
