I have to do a school visit starting next week where I visit every class from 1st to 6th over the course of a week and a half or so. I have the 1st to 4th graders down pretty much, and I have a solid handle on what I and the teachers want for the 5th graders, but the 6th grade class teachers were very vague and basically only told me that their ALT had taught them everything about American culture already so to teach something else. Also, they apparently know all traditional American games. Ideally I would like to give them a lesson that will do some good and help them grow into acceptable human beings.
My questions are:
1) Do you have any recommended topics on 国際交流? Right now I am playing with a lecture on how cultures can be similar as well as different, but I'm having presenters block.
2) Can anyone think of any less common games we could play that I might not have thought of? The teachers were like "they already know all the games, so could you teach them トランプ?" I don't know shit about トランプ so I would rather not teach that.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! for 1) i guess how much a difficult topic you wanna do.. Its still SHOUGAKKOU so hmm.. I've never done anything other than introduce Ireland/culture/play games before.. It really would helpful to know what the ALT has talked/not talked about. Maybe you could ask them directly? Something about multiculturism is always good. Japanese kid have no clue about that shit for 2) you really don't know any card games?? I guess it depends on the NINZU and the room you are using as well on what kind of games you could go. Also again would help if you could talk to the ALT. What about them games where the kids put there heads down and thumbs up or something... Or... i dunnoo... Irish dancing?... |

Ok so the direction I am going in right now is Intro -> Explain Job -> Explain my job at the school is about 国際交流 -> Ask why 国際交流 is important -> Give examples of what Americans think (falsely) about Japan -> Cover some ideas that Japan sometimes has about the U.S. -> Do some talking about countries I have been to and how they are similar and yet different -> Finish with a quiz on World Cultures Still no idea for the game. They very rudely informed me that the kids already know Heads Up Seven Up when I asked about it. The only card games I know are Black Jack and War and honestly I don't want to waste time procuring decks of cards. |

I don't know who it is, and they are also at a different school everyday rather than just staying at that school. I was informed that he has already taught them about what they teach in classes in the U.S, what daily life is like (school day schedule), what kind of clubs they have, and what school lunch looks like. Apparently he has also already taught simon says, rock paper scissors, heads up seven up, and a plethora of other games that portray the American ethos. But yeah, I think I will try calling him real quick. |

You could do a lesson about how very different the American experience is from state to state.
Arizona is completely different from Washington.
I think it's a rude and pretentious idea to think that just because one American taught what school lunches are like in one state, that it disregards other states' culture.
I mean, FFS, I was raised on so much Mexican food (both at home and at school for lunch) and thought it was normal until I moved to Seattle and all they had were Taco Time and Mexican Fries (tater tots with salsa - i don't mind them, but wtf).
For American game, kids here loved Ghosts in the Graveyard. I learned a different way of playing it, but basically one person is the grave keeper (you could be the first one) and you walk around the room. The kids are "ghosts" lying in the graveyard. They are suddenly really hungry and want to eat you so they start climbing out of their graves. However, if the grqvekeeper sees a ghost move, they are out. It's like red light, green light, but you encourage the kids to move like zombies and stuff.
A lot of American acting improv games are great for little kids...I had a blast at summer acting camp doing these things and this game was and still is one of my favorites.

Also never heard of ghosts in the graveyard. Seems interesting. Wonder if John-sensei has ever taught it... |

"We've already learned everything their is to know about America. Please send someone else."  Last week I had a similar request, and I ended up talking about regional variations in food names i.e. sprinkles or jimmies .... soda or pop... Ambrosia or Nine Cloud Salad etc... And I played Chutes and Ladders... which Wikipedia users will know is originally from India, but I played it in the States as a kid. |

EDIT: Sorry realized too late this is focusing on elementary school students. But I'll leave it up in case it inspires a similar activity for younger ages/people at some point do 国際交流 with more mature groups.
I'm starting to plan/fantasize about doing a 異文化理解アップ！ event for college students and I want to include an activity I used in workshops in the US called 'Perceptions Based on Partial Knowledge'. Might be of interest to others?
Basically the goal is to break down stereotypes/demonstrate how complex individuals are (so stop judging them based on almost no info whatsoever/only their appearance).
You create 3 very different profiles, each with a handful of attributes. My draft right now (that I kind of doubt will get approved by my 課 but for this example's sake) is:
Person A- spoke two languages as home, is learning fourth language; did horseback riding for 13 years; dreams of becoming a parent
Person B- eats natto and miso soup for breakfast every morning; has a 神棚 in their house; hobbies include cooking and knitting
Person C- used to smoke; has tattoos; grew up in poor household
Then as a group you try to think -- in terms of stereotypes -- what each person's age, gender, race, sex, gender, disability status, nationality, socioeconomic status, and even basic personality traits might be. It's definitely harder to do in Japan than in the US. Ex: I tried it out on a few of my Japanese hulemdos and even though I urged them to consider nationality one of them said 'I'm Japanese so I assumed they're all Japanese too.' Although that still becomes an interesting talking point, so I feel the activity itself still has potential. Then you reveal the plot twist: all three people... ARE ME! (you actually do use your own info so make sure you're comfortable with whatever you're about to share) I tried to go with one 'Japanese AF' profile, one seemingly wealthy/highly educated/has their しｔ together profile, and one rough and tough profile. Suggestions welcome. Wrap up with a talk about how snap judgments are bad, everyone has complex lives, knowing more (ie actively listening to other people) helps you engage in more meaningful [cross-cultural] relationships, etc. Should be more or less doable with as young as junior high school students, depending on content. |

toririnI did a school visit that was like this with elementary school students, but I used Humans of New York photographs to prove the point. I had the kids get into groups and come up with a backstory of each person in the photographs and then present to the class. After they presented, I would then tell the real story behind the person. Makes it less personal (so I don't have to go sharing my whole life story), but still gets the same point across... I did it for MLK Jr.

I'm also thinking of doing something like 'Draw Your Culture'. Even among Japanese people the pictures should come out pretty different.

No worries!
After some tweaking with the activity I described I came to a realization: A lot of Japanese audiences probably won't be as aware about stereotypes of certain groups (especially when it comes to race/ethnicity) so I turned the game into breaking down what is/is not """Japanese""". All three profiles are still me, and still accurate, but I make one "Japanese" profile, an "obviously not-Japanese" profile, and an "ambiguous" profile. Then reveal the big twist after we talk about the three profiles, then explain that where I come from is one small part of who I am and doesn't guarantee interests/beliefs/diet/relationship to Japan/etc.... and some of the same stuff from the original post about trying to get to know people as complex individuals instead of sticking to 「○○人だから△△」
Also heads up: my CO was not cool with me broadcasting the fact that I have tattoos so I had to make additional changes.

When we talk about food in the upcoming English class I'm doing, I'm going to do a little mini lecture about various dietary restrictions, and I want to briefly touch on the concepts of kosher and halal foods.
That said, I am neither Muslim nor Jewish, and I don't want to pass on misinformation. Obviously I'm doing my best to base my information on good and reliable sources, but if there is anyone who has specific resources they know in particular which explain about kosher and halal rules which they want to recommend, I would appreciate it.
EDIT: it occurred to me later, but obviously other (religious and otherwise?) food restrictions would be relevant, so if anyone has anything to add please let me know!

posting in here with my plan for a 30-min presentation on 国際交流の意義 just to maybe give people ideas
I think I'm just going to go with
1. 自己紹介 and introduction to CIR job
2. Ask what they think 国際交流 means and then give some definitions of my own while stressing that it's very HABAHILOI
3. Ask them why they think we need 国際交流 then say what I think (it's important to have good relations with other cultures and nations etc. because peace and coexisting etc. etc.)
4. Explain that 国際交流 can be difficult and doesn't always go well, then ask them what kinds of problems one might encounter.
5. Give some reasons of my own (cultural differences, historical issues due to war or territorial disputes, stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination, nationalism/tribalism)
6. Ask them for some solutions to said problems
7. End on a positive note saying 国際交流 is TANOSII and very important for people to grow as individuals and for humanity to get along regardless of national differences

Digging this thread from the grave ! (and digging myself out my depression induced silence)
I got my very first request from a middle school with do a 50 minutes presentation on "国際交流とよりよい生き方”.
The theme is vague at best, and the teacher in charge could not for the life of them tell me what they expected/wanted. (atrb_partsz). Saying that I'm stuck is an euphemism xD
I've been reading on the previous posts for inspiration, but I still somehow cannot find a 流れ that speaks to me. Until now I was told to not include too many activities because "It takes too much time to get the kids to warm up and participate" but now that there is no avoiding it (cause the teacher wants some active learning included) I'm struggling to find balance between having the students think between themselves and my own presentation.
Has anyone recently done a presentation like this, about how you can improve your life thanks to dear old kokusai koryuu?
(right now random things i thought about: what is kokusai koryuu, if you were going to go abroad what do you think would be the biggest challenge (except language), examples of (fun) misunderstandings （失敗したこと）or times people didn't act like i expected, ROLE PLAY????, not making it too katakurushii but still a learning experience ... I need to put some order in the chaos xD)
ちなみにThe school being in the Inaka, only has 6 students for all 3 years, so I'll be talking to all of them. So I guess it can't be overly difficult
I swear that I'm actually thinking for myself about what I want to do but right now my mind is a mess and any kind of guidance would be a light of salvation

I don't do many school visits, but one idea did pop into my head. What about attempting a "virtual study abroad"? So for example, pretend as if all the students will be exchange students and take them thru that journey and what a typical school day is like in your home town. Have everyone "get in the plane" and show it flying from Japan to your hometown. Show pictures of different schools and see if they can guess which school they are going to? What kinds of subjects to middle school kids study, do they move from classroom to classroom or stay in one room all day? What kind of lunch is provided? Just your typical school day. You could include simple multiple choice quizzes or even a self-introduction activity. "You just arrived at your new school, please introduce yourself to the class" など |

Dee, Miscreative Thanks for your ideas! Once I figure out stuff, I'll post it here. I like the idea of explaining a normal (school) day in my hometown so if I can figure out how to make it interactive then I might go with that. I'll also call the teacher again, try to wrestle a bit more info from them  |

Line dancing is always fun (Cha Cha Slide, Electric Slide). It kills a lot of time and gets the kids active. I did a whole 講座on all the lines dances I know and it was pretty fun!
