Every Christmas, Sagamino Church
puts on a Saturday "fun fair" event, which they call their
"Christmas Festa." Here are some of my photos of this
year's event:
Tabito had to approve everything before the day could
begin.
Here are some of the prizes for the kids who "win"
the games...
You can see from this shot there was a BIG crowd of kids
-- I think they told me afterwards it was about 80, plus a few
parents.
Nakano-san made this custom "pinball" game -- it
was by far one of the hottest spots of the day -- the kids
really loved that one.
There were four or five game stations for the kids -- shown
above are the ball toss; the ring toss; and then the third
photo is of two girls playing a video game where they use the
"guns" to shoot the targets on the screen. The girl
in pink is Miku -- one of my students in the pre-school class
on Tuesdays. In class she is so cute and quiet -- but then the
minute class is over and they start playing and speaking
Japanese again, she starts talking up a storm...
In addition to the games, the kids could do some coloring
and crafts. I think they "cooked" these drawings in the microwave
to make a necklace or something crazy like that. How would I
know -- I ain't no craft-monger...
Takahito is having fun watching over the ping pong ball
game.
I can't yet speak with utter confidence -- but I feel 98%
confident that every single church in Japanese presbytery has
a BINGO set. Either that, or they've been passing the same set
around to each other behind my back.
Anyway, the kids really had
fun at this, especially since the Grand Prize was tickets to
Tokyo Disneyland -- seriously!! So there was lots of
excitement in the air.
The top photo shows Mrs.
Nakano pulling out the first numbers.
Finally -- SNACK TIME!
