MAC Radio 13, with Mike Matsuno

Inspiring young Adults

Welcome to another series of MAC Radio.

I had a long family weekend so forgive me the weekday delay.  

Today's topic is a bit different from what we had so far.

We had mostly teachers and creators working with children here.

Today I would love you to meet Mike, one of the first educators I worked with, after coming to Japan.  'Work with' is not really correct.  As I was a little tiny chick, just looking up at teachers like him, to see how it all works.


Mike  has mostly worked with university students and young adults, amongst others, as  Vice President at the Japan Study Abroad Foundation . He was facilitator/advisor at the 'Ship for World Youth', and recently is teaching at several universities.

I think you will like this talk wherever you are, BUT for educators and

​English teachers in Japan, make sure you watch, ASAP!

And try try try

The most important thing with brainbreaks and activities is:
Try try try!  Try them right away~if you put it on a shelf you will forget.  We forget so quickly, don't we?!

And if you try, and they don't work with a group, but YOU yourself like it, try them again with another class.  The point is 'Do YOU like it', ?  as La Maestra states as one of the most important points of our conversation.

I put this into practice :
I found a brainbreak under the link of 'The phonics man' which just fits my school so well.  It is around 'Gummibears' and if you have following me for a bit, you know that all of my students know and dance the Gummibear dance every year at our event.

Well, I did it with the first class>>>they were tired right away and were just going 'Why are we doing this?  I want to stop' (6 , 7 year olds)
I tried next period with 8 year olds>>>It was better, but they still missed a bit of fun, no idea why.
Then I tried next class with 8,9 year olds and they were going crazy over it.

It would be lovely to get some comments .

What are your top 3 take aways from this interview?

The day after Halloween for an english teacher in Japan

Pajama day

Even though I didn't have a 'proper' event with a two hour program, I AM EXHAUSTED.

Well, even the kids had only a short time with me, the schedule was full from 1h30 till 6h30.
I was happy I had my kids helping me out.

COVID really sends new ideas and possibilities on the way.

As I mentioned in one of my last radios, this year I had my students come 'family by family', to Trick or Treat at my home.
During October I figured how absolutely curious the kids were about this 'event', so I added some small games in my 10 squaremeter backyard.
​

I made sure to tell the kids and parents many times 'it will be just 10 minutes /family', but last week I figured that kids that little have no idea how short 10 minutes are, and I was anticipating a load of tears and disappointment.
So, to avoid those, I created a walk rally (Scavenger hunt), they could play within their family.
And, last minute, I noticed I could do some simple 5 minute crafts, so they have something to take home.
​

We had the first rain in 10 days, when I woke up, BUT around 10 we had the bluest sky.

And so I think all of my little ones had joy, 
and 
oh oh oh, we had so many cuties.

A rabbit dressed as a bird from 'Demon Slayer', a poodle dressed as 'Ghostbuster'
A new born as 'Pokkemon', a 2 year old as the cutest 'Nezuko' I have ever seen.

And a load of cool and super beautiful, crafted costumes as well.

Give me some days to sort them.

​Today is Pajama day!

    Born and grown up in Germany I came to Japan with 22 to make my mom's wish come true:
    BE HAPPY!
    Now I'm a mother and I wish from my heart that my kids
    BE HAPPY!
    And I'm an educator and I do all I can to fulfill this big dream of most parents for their kids:
    BE HAPPY!
