- Simple phrases (please, thank you, excuse me)
- Hiragana recognition (optional)
Use games, songs, TPR (Total Physical Response), flashcards, and role-play.
Adapt the same 50-minute lesson for different age groups.
Collaborate with other staff to reinforce Japanese themes across camp.
Follow all safeguarding and child protection policies at all times
