NHK’s educational programs come in many forms and are designed with various innovations that stimulate not only the eyes but all five senses.

Whether it’s singing songs using only onomatopoeia, appealing to the visual sense with chain reactions of mechanisms, or conveying through sound that objects can be viewed from many angles, children absorb so much of it in such a healthy way—something I realize anew.

Learning lots of words, searching for answers on their own, and riddles, too, will surely contribute to children’s growth.

Children learn much of their vocabulary from everyday life.

It’s surprisingly rare for them to go to school and be explicitly taught the things themselves, like “the animal that goes ‘woof-woof’ is a dog” or “the blade you use when cooking is called a kitchen knife.” Children absorb the words they feel they need from daily life and start using them on their own.

So in a sense, being able to understand puns could be considered a kind of “advanced skill” in a child’s world.

For example: “What kind of bump appears when you’re happy?” Of course, the answer is “a lump” (a wordplay in Japanese).

Children realize that they don’t actually get a physical bump from being happy, and that this is a form of wordplay.

This may sound a bit theoretical, but if a child shows interest, it might be a good idea to give them lots of riddles.
