ココデキッズワールドに参加して

5月5日はこどもの日。この日は国中でいろんな行事が催されます。

On may 5th, Japan celebrated Children’s day, an event dedicated to kids; celebrating their youth and health. Multiple events were done for this day, all over the country.

その中の一つが、COCODEキッズワールド

One such event I attended was called “Cocode Kid’s World”

たくさんのブースが置かれ、子供たちを楽しませんる活動が披露されます。音楽を演奏したり、美味しい食べ物を売ったり、工芸品をつくらせたり。

In the event, many booths were set up, and offered various activities and treats for the children present. Playing music, selling food, making arts and crafts among others.

私ももちろん参加しました。題してLet’s enjoy English”  カードを使って子供たちに遊ばせ、英語になれ親しんでもらいました。

I, of course, put up shop and named it “Let’s Enjoy English” as well, and allowed kids to play with some flash cards; encouraging them to be familiar with the English language.

アルファベットの載ったカードを床の上に置き、私が叫んだ文字のカードを元気いっぱいに探し出します。

We played a game with flash cards showing the letters of the English alphabet, where I shout out the letter on the cards and children will gleefully search for them as they are laid out on the floor.

たったそれだけのことなのに、お子さんたちがまるで宝探しでもするかのように一生けん命に取り組んでくれるので、胸がいっぱいになりました。

It filled my heart with joy, watching the children enjoying themselves in the game; it was like watching a small treasure hunt on the beach that was my booth!
