What's in the show?

In the show the kids do 4 hours of lessons squashed down into a one hour Genki extravaganza!

.The show starts out with some spooky "space" music. Then a rocket countdown starts, the kids count along!

	Then we go into the Warm Up Game, teaching the kids "Stand up, sit down, jump, spin, clap, Good Night and Good Morning"
A bit of Hip Hop action with "Rock, Paper, Scissors"
Then a quick go at the Left and Right Song and dance!

After a load of motivation (and a little rest) it's time to head into the mega Genki "Good morning"song
Next is a brief self introduction, in Japanese, of the presenter and why the kids should try their best at English!

Then into the "What's your name?" song and game. This is fun!

Finally everyone finishes off with the "Thank you" song.( If we have the time!)

Plus lots and lots of motivation and getting the kids GENKI!!

Of course GenkiEnglish tailors each show to the kids abilities, sometimes adding little bits here and there! In Elementary schools we teach the whole school in one go. For private English school shows we can teach the shows with as little as 200 kids, but ideally there will be several hundred! The shows featured in the Daily Yomiuri Newspaper ("Genki English taking primary schools by storm!" was what they said!) had over 1000 students!!

Genki English Shows - Pricing!!

Of course, this type of education is very expensive. GenkiEnglish is one of the leading authorities in this field. However, I also want as many children as possible to see just how fun English can be, and how easy it is to learn! Hence there are 2 pricing structures.

Elementary Schools ("kouritsu" schools)

My main aim at Genki English is to get Elementary Schools teaching in a fun and effective way, with the new syllabus I want to make sure that instead of boring, grammar based English, the kids learn "International Understanding" in the best way possible! I also fully understand how busy teachers are, the budget constraints of schools and the effort required to put on an event of this kind. Hence the majority of the preparation is done at this end, and hence can do shows at Elementary Schools at special rates. The things that I require are:

There is a 1 hour show for all the students, grades 1-6, in the school gym. If the school has more than 1000 students I'll do 2 separate shows.
I need a CD player connected to the speakers in the gym, a hand held wireless microphone and two litres of drinking water (I get very thirsty!)
Return travel expenses and accommodation from Fukuoka City. If there are several schools in one town, they can split the travel expenses between them!
Parents should be informed of the event in advance and invited to attend.
Permission for press/newspapers/TV to attend. It's great publicity for the school as parents see that school really cares about the kids' education.
A teaching seminar for the school teachers in the afternoon. I'll give them loads of confidence and show simple techniques for teaching on their own, or how to team teach with an ALT.
The shows and seminars for FREE!! Yes, FREE of charge!
Boards of Education do not need to provide any paperwork, all we need is the permission of the Head Teacher!

The kids get a cool English class, the parents get a chance to see how good their kids can be, and the school gets a free show and teaching seminar! Get in touch now! Or click here to print out a flyer.

For non-public Elementary schools, "English Circles" or English Conversation Schools we have...

Private Shows

I can still offer unbeatable value for private shows. Your students will get a chance to have an amazing hour long Show, and your school will benefit from the association with Genki English, and the subsequent publicity. As an organiser, we would ask that you:

Hire a venue, such as a city hall, or community center, with a CD Player PA system, projector and a hand held wireless mic.
Publicise the event in order to attract at least 200 Upper Kindergarten or Elementary School Age students. The more students the better the show, up to a maximum of around 1000. If several private teachers group their students together, this can be easily achieved!
Organise insurance (can be done very inexpensively, but very necessary!)
Invite parents to attend the show.
Aged 3-4 years old children may attend, however for safety reasons they cannot join the other students, but may sit with their parents at the back and enjoy the show.
Students pay only 1,500 yen each to attend. From this money we subtract expenses and divide the remainder of the money 70/30 in favour of Genki English. This way it costs you as an organiser nothing to host the event, and you could end up making a profit!
Expenses also include return travel expenses from Fukuoka City to the venue, and accommodation.
I also require permission to sell CDs/Videos at the venue. 10% of the CD sales will go to you.

The entrance fee would be probably less than a normal one hour English lesson, but it would be the best "lesson" that the kids have ever had!!! It's great publicity for your school, and great motivation for the kids as they look forward to the event beforehand, and get a great boost of energy from the show!!!

We do the show one day, then we can also offer a Teacher Training Seminar the next day, travel expenses will have already been paid, so admission will be a very inexpensive 9,000 yen per teacher.

Cool, what's next?

I'm currently taking bookings now. Get in touch NOW to see what we can organise!!
