New Year’s Play in Life Class

In Life class, the students enjoyed Japanese traditional New Year’s plays such as bilboquet(kendama), a card game(karuta), cat’s cradle(ayatori) and top spinning. Spinning the top was especially difficult for them. They tried again and again to get the hang of it. They had chance to try out ayatori and they enjoyed showing off their skills to each other. They will be able to develop their skills further by looking up new techniques on the internet. This was a good chance for the students to learn about Japanese traditional culture too.
