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.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

signboard

Signage is the decoration that serves as the face of any event.

Even simply displaying the event name in text fulfills a sign’s role, but it’s better to have decorations that raise participants’ excitement and catch spectators’ eyes, as that builds anticipation for the event.

For a sports day, for example, we recommend decorations that evoke the event—like drawings by the children, paper flowers, or pom-poms.

Since it’s the first thing everyone sees, it’s a decoration we hope you’ll create together from the planning stage, sharing ideas as a group.

Sports day wall display

If you make wall decorations for the sports day, the time leading up to the event will be filled with excitement.

There are many ideas for sports day wall decorations, and one recommendation is to use scenes from each event as motifs.

Try picking your children’s favorite events, such as footraces or ball tosses.

Another idea is to have animals participate instead of people.

This will give the decorations a cuter, more whimsical feel.

Designing them with items like headbands (hachimaki) will also create a more authentic sports day atmosphere.

Countdown

Some kids are counting on their fingers, wondering, “How many days until the sports day?” That sense of nervous excitement leading up to the day is part of the event’s charm.

So how about making something that counts down the days until sports day? You could create a motif with a whiteboard inside it, use magnets to display the numbers, or put stickers on a calendar.

Try choosing a method that fits your location and available space.
