| Related teaching materials and information |
A teacher showed parents glove puppets on the Internet and asked them to make similar types. A sketchbook was prepared for each child to make a kamishibai (story illustrated with pictures) during the morning study time. The play was modified from Musicians in the Mountains (lyrics: Shisen Mizuta (in Japanese), composition: German folk song) and increased the number of animals and musical instruments in the play. |
