Visiting an Elder People’s Home with Christmas Spirits (Japan)

On Sunday, December 15, the Yokohama 87 Club Pack and Beaver Colony visited an Elderly Home in Totsuka (Yokohama), located at a neighborhood activity area of the group, and enjoyed an exchange of Christmas spirits together with residents of the home.

This is a small home for about 20 people, and it was the first time place to visit by the scouts. They have performed a Christmas story play, sang a song of Christmas, a supporting dance and song for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games event, "Paprika", and a song of "Small World" with sign language.

The elderly residents of the home were very pleased with the visit of the young children, and they also enjoyed imitating hand gestures in sign language songs with action and sang Christmas songs together with the scouts. (You can see the video of "Paprika" which was performed at the group’s Christian meeting after the visit.)

Social contact with the elderly is a service to the community in which even young children can take action.

Greetings from Yokohama Group 87

Season's Greetings

from Yokohama Group 87

to the Scout Friends in the World !!

MOCHITSUKI is a very traditional activity we have as a new year event.

Scouts are pounding steamed rice with a mallet.

There are also a fun game such as FUKUWARAI.

FUKUWARAI is one of the Japanese traditional games people play on New Year day. It is a puzzle of a human face, and a player has to do the puzzle wearing a blindfold. Since players cannot see which part of the face is on the piece of the puzzle, the face made up by the player is usually quite unique like having a nose above eyes. People enjoy playing this game.
