JAPAN GAMES! :)

*What's in the Photo:

-Jasmine:9/10



-Christina: 7/10


Summary:

-What's in the Photo is a great game to play in order to learn about what's

being used in Japan. The things they might use like a bag to carry their

books in is very similar to what we might call a backpack. During this game,

it flashes a picture and you have about 15 seconds to pick from the choices

what you think the object is used for. When you complete the game it's only

like 10 questions. Finally, we liked this game because it gives you the ability

to learn about another culture while having fun.





*Gesture Game:

-Jasmine:0/4



-Christina:1/4


Summary:



-The Gesture Game shows different gestures that you

might see while walking down a street in Japan. In order

to answer pick one of the answer choices on the right.

Then the people show different animations which will

eventually tell you if the answer is right. Your complete

score will be shown at the end.





*Hiragana Picture Matching Game:

-Jasmine:7/7


-Christina:7/7


Summary:
Have you ever wondered what different Japanese

symbols meant? Well the Hiragana Picture Matching

Game is the perfect game for you! First a picture pops

up. Then different symbols circle around the picture.

Next to drag and drop different symbols onto the

pictures until you finally get it right. Yess, this game

does involve trial and error but its worth it. Who knows

you might even be able to write and recognize a few

Japanese symbols after you've finished playing this game.



*Japanese Celebrations:

-Jasmine:4/4

-Christina:4/4


Summary:
- Very instresting to note how the different traditions work. Finding out what kind of different
children holidays there was really excited us b/c we really love kids. Getting to know all the i
information about the festivals gave us details we never known before. Having the choice to
choose either easy are hard, let us no that they really want us to learned about Japan's cultural.
Japan is full of wonderful experience, and someday we hope to be able to see one of these
festivals in person!!!!!!!!!!!!!
