🚶‍♂️ Japanese Elementary School Sports Festival - Walking in Japan 日本の小学校体育大会 - 日本のモンスター

  • Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
  • 🚶‍♂️Sports festivals (undokai in Japanese) are an important and anticipated event in schools throughout Japan. These events were in the past most often held in the autumn though many schools today prefer to stage these events during the spring. The typically sports day will include an opening ceremony followed by speeches from such dignitaries as the school principal and representatives (kids) from each of the competing teams. Most schools divide the class body into three teams, identified by color (often the school colors) and composed of a fairly equal number of kids from each grade. The older kids typically take a leading role and will assist and guide their juniors through the events. You can spot a sixth grader helping little Emily (at that time a first grader) with her class dance. These helpers are called partners and are typically assigned to help the smaller kids throughout the school year.
    Nearly all of the events are group-oriented and designed to help the kids learn to work as a team. Different schools may have unique events though some activities (such as the giant ball games and bean toss) seem to be popular with nearly all schools. Cheerleading is a very important part of a sports festival and especially energetic cheerleaders are greatly admired and appreciated. Watch the cheerleaders as the pull their bodies back to begin a cheer and urge their team members to join in and root hard for the competing athletes.
    Sports festivals are not just for kids and many communities will stage these events for the benefit and pleasure of an entire neighborhood of village. Our little community has an annual sports festival in which adults and children compete together. This event is held on the grounds of this same elementary school and is great fun! The old folks of the community especially seem to appreciate our community sports festival and their turnout and management of the event is important and appreciated by all. (KB)

    Hi Kurt. Almost like a mini Olympic Games. Japan really has it together, having events like this for their young people. I could see that Emily was having a fantastic time. She found you in the audience and waved to her mama and papa. You truly are blessed . And again I say Thank You, ...................Doug

    LOl When they were passing the giant ball, it reminded me of my High school graduation this year! Some people from the audience threw a beach ball at us during the Mayor Carson's (my town) speech! He was so polite about it, too! I wish we had sports festivals in my elementary school. we only had one in 4th grade, and it ended up in me having a bloody knee.

      Competitive games are improvised, but mass games and marching performances are practiced a month in advance using physical education time. If you do that in your country, there will be no schools you want to do because you could be sued for child abuse or your school could be charged if you were injured.

      It is an organizational problem that exists in any country. It doesn't happen very often in Japan, as the Japanese media reports a lot.
      Just because another country's media doesn't cover that country's bullying culture doesn't mean that the country's bullying culture is less prevalent than Japan's.

The degrees to which these are in them as an acceptable practice vary in degrees, and despite how they're covered in the medium and it's individual country impact of it it's not the same. Or are you proposing that even though it exists in all of them it's the same statistical impact?
      The reasons why I'm asking these questions is not as a form of shame to the owner of the channel. I'm more interested in their perspective on these issues, as they are unique in their country and how it is handled.
