Two-choice quiz about sea creatures51rank/position

It's a two-choice quiz about sea creatures!

Guess the creature from its name! In the “Two-Choice Sea Creatures Quiz,” you’re given the name of a creature and choose the real one from two illustrations.

Both illustrations depict real marine animals, so it’s fun to think things like, “Which one is the jellyfish?” or “Is the clownfish this brightly colored one, or the one with this pattern?” Even if you know the names, you might not know what they actually look like, making it engaging for both kids and adults.

It’s perfect for prepping before a trip to the aquarium or for free time at school.

After checking the answers, we recommend looking them up for real.

It’s a quiz that helps you learn more about marine life while you play.

Without Katakana52rank/position

Simple and fun! A class-energizing activity: “Katakana-less”

We use katakana for many names in daily life.

Katakana is familiar, but let’s try playing without using it.

First, show items that have katakana names and have people describe them without using katakana.

For example, for “pen,” someone might answer, “something you write with that isn’t a pencil.” It’s a game where you shift your thinking a bit, describe the given topic without using katakana, and have others guess.

If the topic is “game,” you could describe it as “something where you use your fingertips to control characters on the screen.” From there, everyone tries to guess the topic together.

Explaining with your current vocabulary makes for a good brain exercise.

Fruits Basket53rank/position

[English × Physical Play] 08 Fruit Basket Game

This is the game “Fruit Basket,” where players are divided into teams named after fruits.

Prepare one fewer chair than the number of participants.

Arrange the chairs in a circle, and have one person (the “it” player) stand in the middle.

The “it” player calls out the name of a fruit, and everyone assigned that fruit must change seats.

The person who fails to sit becomes the next “it.” When the call “Fruit Basket!” is made, everyone must move.

Fukuwarai (a traditional Japanese “lucky laugh” face-making game)55rank/position

toio LAB | Play Recipes | 004 Fukuwarai

“Fukuwarai” is a traditional game that families can enjoy together during the New Year.

You play by blindfolding yourself and placing facial parts—eyes, mouth, nose, eyebrows, and so on—onto a sheet of paper with an outline of a face.

The funny part is that, because you’re blindfolded, the face rarely turns out the way you intended! In addition to the classic analog version played on paper, the game has evolved in recent years to include web-based versions and even ones included in robot toys.

So why not try it with your family or friends—not just during the New Year, but anytime?

Catch56rank/position

[Hand Play That Elementary School Kids Can Enjoy] Catch

If there’s a game where children, teachers, and parents can all compete together, the thank-you party will be even more exciting.

The game I recommend is called “Catch.” First, make your right hand into a tube shape, and raise the index finger of your left hand.

Then form a circle and insert your index finger into the tube of the person next to you.

Finally, at a signal, try to pull your finger out so it doesn’t get caught.

Making different movements with your left and right hands is surprisingly difficult.

The kids might even be better at it than the adults.
