Today's lesson: Japanese Culture
"Typhoon and Karuta Game"
I introduced to the children the Japanese culture by doing "Typhoon and Karuta game", through listening.
I grouped them into three with their respected group names. I asked them questions about the culture and they will say what kind of culture is it.
