There are many events that go on in the Japanese schools and I was able to experience one such event last Friday at school. This event is mass jump roping. The goal is to be able to just together as many times as possible as a class. There are about 35 kids in each class so it took some major work on the twirlers part and team work. It was set up as a competition. Each class got 3 minutes to get as many jumps as possible. From that, they set up a bracket where the classes competed against each other for the championship. The goal of this interesting event is to build community in the classroom and develop students' cooperation skills.
I would say they did pretty well!
Class 3-1 won by getting 28 jumps!
Below are all the first grade classes warming up:
Here is class 3-1 in one of their champion jumps...They got up to 23 in this video.
Listen and learn to count in Japanese!
(watch the twirler in the very back corner...tough job!)
