“Let’s enjoy the Halloween in English!” (October21,2023)
On October21(Sat),we held a Halloween event for elementary school students at the small hall of Kusunoki Plaza. 17 elementary school students and their siblings joined the event.
As a warm-up exercise, the participants sang easy English songs with our assistants (Ms. Hiromi Tanaka and Ms. Naomi Tanaka) After that, the participants had a 50-minute lesson with Mr. Xander from New Zealand. They learned about feelings, alphabets, numbers and colors by using the Halloween materials and playing games.
They also learned how to pronounce English sounds through voice percussion method.The participants made their favorite sound and created a music together.They had such a lot of fun with this new activity.
After the lesson, the participants enjoyed making Halloween crafts.This year,they made a paper cup bat basket.On a black paper cup they pasted eyes,ears,mouth,wings and original cute bat basket was completed.
Then,we went Trick-or-Treating, which was a big fun. The participants said “Trick or Treat!” and got candies and snacks from our well-costumed staffs. Every child looked so happy with a trick-or-treat bag full of candies and snacks.
We were very glad to see the children having a lot of fun. We hope this event will be a good opportunity and experience for them to be interested in the English language and foreign culture.
