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.

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.

Spot the difference

Spot the difference

If you’re thinking, “I want to do a Halloween quiz!”, why not try a Halloween spot-the-difference game? At first glance the pictures look identical, but if you look closely, there are small differences here and there.

Finding those differences is what spot-the-difference is all about.

For example, you could make some obvious differences—like giving the jack-o’-lantern star-shaped eyes, or putting a ribbon on only one side of a witch’s hat—and have the kids look for them.

Spot-the-difference games help build concentration, and the sense of accomplishment kids feel when they find a difference can boost their confidence and motivation.

Halloween quiz in English

A three-hint Halloween quiz in English!

Halloween quiz in English

If children are already familiar with English at daycare or kindergarten, it’s a great idea to give a Halloween quiz in English at the Halloween party! For example, how about a quiz where kids guess which Halloween character it is based on three clues? This helps develop their English listening skills and their ability to infer meaning from pictures while listening in English.

Introducing the Halloween characters beforehand or drawing them may make it easier for the children to understand.
