Kids’ Japanese After-School Club — Play, speak, repeat.

A weekly club that blends games, stories, and crafts to build natural Japanese step by step.

Best for: complete beginners and children learning Japanese as a new language who want a regular weekly club.

They’ll do: game‑based practice, songs & stories, mini role‑plays, crafts, and quick review sheets to take home.

Approach: Can‑do based with input‑rich activities first, then gentle speaking — designed for complete beginners and mixed‑ability groups.

For children growing up with Japanese as part of family life.

A weekly small-group club that builds on the Japanese children already hear and use with family.

Best for: children who already have some Japanese through family life. They don’t need to be fluent or able to read and write.

They’ll do: speaking, stories, reading and writing, games and creative activities, with activities adjusted to their current Japanese.

Approach: Start with what each child can already do, then gradually widen vocabulary, expression, reading and writing.

Multi‑day camps packed with movement, stories, and themed projects — from cafe role‑plays to festival crafts.

Best for: children who would enjoy a short, creative Japanese programme during the school holidays. Complete beginners are welcome.

They’ll do: themed language blocks, team games, songs, crafts, and take-home worksheets.

Approach: input‑rich (stories, songs, visuals) → guided practice → low‑pressure output through play and performance.
