Epilogue

The authors of this book have taught students as homeroom teachers for over ten years, and what they have learned is that elementary school homeroom teachers must be versatile and well-rounded in many areas.
There are so many basic tasks that need to be done, including subject-by-subject learning guidance, life guidance, parent consultation, opportunity education, educational week management, and class management and management, and social demands are also increasing.
In this environment, it is not easy to have a happy school life as a homeroom teacher.
As teachers, we hope to provide some help to students so they can enjoy a happy school life. We have published this book on the topic of elementary school classroom management through play, drawing on the authors' experience as homeroom teachers and their know-how in creating various play content.
Two teachers with rich play content and fresh know-how have come together to gather fun activities essential for each period and help homeroom teachers manage their classrooms.
This book covers the following areas:

Curriculum/Learning Play / Fun activities related to the subject or activities to summarize learning for each class or unit
Social play / Play that gives students in the class a chance to get to know each other
Manipulative play / Play that involves creating and decorating something related to educational activities and directly using it in activities.
Fun activities for special occasions / Fun activities for special occasions
Physical play / Classroom play using the body


Additionally, the activities in this book are categorized into the following desk types:
In a classroom environment, the biggest obstacle to play is the desk.
From the perspective of a teacher who applies materials for each game, we have categorized the desks so that they are easy to understand in terms of how to position them.

Group type / A type of activity where 4 to 6 desks are placed together to form a group.
Chair circle / A form of making a chair into a circle and using it for activities
Learning style / usual learning style such as group or division
Desk push / Pushing the desk to one side to utilize the narrow space
Desk use / Desk use in the stadium


The features of the games in this book are as follows:


1.
Presenting classroom play activities that utilize the body and maximize space utilization and reduce safety accidents.
2.
Presenting innovative classroom play activities created with new ideas rather than existing play activities.
3.
Providing cost-effective, practical, and practical teaching materials that minimize class preparation and maximize class effectiveness.
4.
Presenting materials that have been applied and generalized in real-world settings and have been highly praised by many teachers.
5.
Presenting essential classroom management materials tailored to each month's time period.


There's a secret to a homeroom teacher's relaxed classroom management amidst a busy schedule.

The learning games introduced in this book do not require any play-leading skills on the part of the teacher, and once the play begins, the teacher rarely continues or intervenes in the middle of the play.
Additionally, all students participate simultaneously and are continuously engaged, and classroom play lasts from a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours.
Above all, it has the advantage of not ending with play but continuing to learning.


Children only truly feel they are playing when they play with other children.
A teacher told the children that if they studied hard, he would let them play.
So, the children studied really hard and the teacher happily continued the play.
So when the game was over, one student said this to the teacher.
“Teacher, can we play now?”
Only when teachers create structures and systems that allow for play and allow children to play independently within those structures and systems can they truly engage in playful play.
Through this book, you can create a happy classroom by practicing classroom play with children easily and comfortably, freeing yourself from the trauma of difficult play experiences in the past.

We have reached a point where play is no longer an option for children, but a necessity.
Among the many games, it is not easy to find the one that is right for the teacher and is necessary for the given period.
There must be some secret to the homeroom teacher's ability to manage the class leisurely in the midst of a busy daily life.
The authors hope that this book will become that secret recipe.
