Back to Okayama again! Along with Fukuoka, Okayama has some of the best elementary school teachers in Japan. They are really genki and don’t need too much motivation talking, they’re already into it and are just wanting new ideas and techniques. Which was just as well today as there were so many teachers they split them into two groups. I took one group for an hour whilst another consultant took the other group, then switched round. They got through tons of stuff including a review of What’s your name? from last year, Where are you going?, What are you doing? plus Harry Potter, then “What’s your favourite colour?” ( they loved that ) , “I have a question” and then “I like pink fish” game to show them that any language, however complex, can be taught in a fun and genki way!

Then after being very kindly invited for dinner it was on the Shinkansen back to Kyushu.
