Japanese Kids Holiday Program

  • Family and kids
  • Talk

Give your kids (8–11) or teens (12–17) an exciting introduction to Japanese language and culture through fun and immersive workshops. Each session is designed to spark curiosity and build confidence, combining language learning with hands-on cultural activities in a relaxed and engaging environment.

Students will learn essential Japanese greetings (aisatsu) and how to introduce themselves (jikoshoukai), while enjoying interactive activities that make learning feel natural and enjoyable. Younger learners will explore origami, games and songs, while teens will also be introduced to hiragana through fun, game based learning, along with creative experiences such as origami and calligraphy.

Led by experienced native Japanese teachers, these workshops provide a perfect balance of education and creativity making it an ideal way for students to experience Japan while having fun, and for parents to enjoy a well-deserved break.
