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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

How much is that thing at school? Price guessing quiz!

[Shocking] That thing at school costs XXX ten-thousand yen!? The “Guess the Price of Surprisingly Unknown Items” quiz was insane! [Trivia]

How much is that thing at school? Price guessing quiz!

You don’t usually worry much about the prices of things at school, right? It’s not like you’re buying the blackboard or the assembly podium yourself.

So let’s play “How much is that at school? Price guessing quiz!” For example, how much do you think the desk you always use in the classroom costs? It’s about 15,000 yen.

Let’s keep guessing the prices of different items like that.

By the way, an alcohol lamp in the science room is 900 yen, a metronome in the music room is 4,500 yen, and a classroom chair is around 8,000 yen.

If even the teacher doesn’t know the price, please look it up online.

Guess the song title from what we learned at school!? Quiz

[Showdown] We tried a “Guess the Song Title” quiz with songs we learned at school and couldn’t stop laughing! [I tried singing]

Guess the song title from what we learned at school!? Quiz

For a while after graduating from elementary school, you can still sing your school song.

But after a few years, the lyrics of the first and second verses get swapped, the endings of words get fuzzy… memories really do fade.

That’s why a “Name That Song We Learned at School!?” quiz sounds like it would be lively and fun.

With children’s songs like “Spring” or “Happy Doll Festival,” you might know the lyrics but struggle to recall the titles.

That frustrating feeling is what makes it entertaining.

Grab your music textbook and quiz each other with your friends.

It could be a fun part of a music class, too!

How many restrooms are there in the school?

Isn’t this quite a tricky question—the number of bathrooms in the school! Is there at least one for each grade? And then there are special-purpose rooms and staff bathrooms, plus ones that aren’t used much in daily life.

There might even be some where you’re left wondering, why is there a bathroom here? Make sure you don’t miss any and count them all carefully!

Drawing quiz: Things found at school

[Showdown] Surprisingly hard to write!? School “Relatable Moments” Quiz Championship! [Art]

Drawing quiz: Things found at school

As the name suggests, it’s a drawing quiz that uses only “things found at school.” Because they’re items we usually look at without thinking, you’ll realize that when they’re turned into quiz prompts, they’re surprisingly hard to draw.

It’s a quiz that’s a bit different from the usual kind.

If you do it at school, it’s sure to get everyone excited.

How many siblings does the principal have?

Here’s an ultra-nerdy question that many people would probably throw up their hands at and say, “How am I supposed to know that?!” The question is: How many siblings does the principal have? Unless something really unusual happened, I don’t think anyone would know.

This one’s a guess, or maybe the answer was hidden in the principal’s morning address!

Which team won last year’s sports day?

Unless you’re a first-year student, this is a quiz you’ll want to remember! The question is: Which team won last year’s sports day? Some students have been on a losing streak—or a winning streak—for a long time.

But there probably aren’t many like that.

So, did you pump your fist in that moment last year?
