🌳 Visit to Kagayaki no Mori Kindergarten 🌳

On January 15, we had an exchange event at Kagayaki no Mori Kindergarten in Kawai Town 😊
The center is spacious and surrounded by lush greenery, located in a corner of a park 🌿
Some students had visited before, but for those visiting for the first time, their eyes were shining with excitement 👀✨

We went from the 0-year-old classroom to the 5-year-old classroom, greeting the children by peeking in from the hallway ☺️
The younger children looked surprised to see so many big brothers and sisters 😯
Their adorable reactions made the students smile naturally 🥰
Children who were playing in the courtyard ran over energetically to welcome us 🏃‍♂️💨

🎶🏫 We met the Hoshi Group in the playroom 🌟
The children gave us a lovely gift by singing the school song and “Winter Wonderland” 🎁🎵
From our side, we introduced foods from our home countries and held a quiz 🍛❓
Hearing comments like “Looks delicious!” and “I want to try it!”, the students showed confidence by chatting freely and improvising 😊
The “Myanmar Rock-Paper-Scissors” game we prepared was quickly learned and became a big hit ✊✌️✋

🪁🤝 Holding hands, we went outside to fly kites and then played dodgeball 🏐
The students chased after the children as they ran around while flying their kites 💨
Before long, they were out of breath and laughing, saying, “The children have so much energy!” 😆
For dodgeball, the children were divided into boys’ and girls’ teams 🎯
The boys were thrilled to play seriously with the older students 🙌
The girls stayed close behind the students, saying “I’m scared!” in a sweet and adorable way 💗

After playing a lot and giving lots of hugs, some students even had teary eyes when it was time to say goodbye 🤗💐
At the end, we walked through a flower path made by the children and said goodbye 🌸
Seeing the children waving goodbye again and again, the students couldn’t help but smile with happiness from the bottom of their hearts 😊✨
