Flashback to our last kindergarten Sports Day arou

Flashback to our last kindergarten Sports Day around this time last year.

October is chosen as the month to celebrate Sports Day since it is one of the best weather months of the year with less rain and comfortable temperatures. If you are invited to attend a Sports Day (undo-kai) be prepared to partake in traditional track-and-field sprints and relays, and tug of war. However, you will also get to experience some unique Japanese games as well. The tamaire game is played between two teams, red and white. Each team has 50-100 small beanbags in red or white and a basket attached to the top of a tall pole. The teams compete to see who can throw more of their beanbags into their basket within a given time (about 5-10 mins). Another common game is the o-tama korogashi where the goal is to roll a huge ball the size as one person in a relay race.

Japanese take their Sports Day (Undokai) very seriously and often have weeks of practice for the events. Sports Day events start early with speeches by government or people in leadership roles. Moms give great thought and preparation to the beautiful and healthy obento boxes for lunch, and Dads buy new video cameras to memorialise their children.

Good luck to all the children participating in Undokai this month! Ganbatte!
