This lesson about Otsukimi, the Japanese Moon Viewing festival, can be used to teach KS2 about Japanese culture, the harvest moon, and the diversity of beliefs and stories about the moon around the world.
The PPT includes information about the customs and traditions associated with Ostukimi and an illustrated version of The Rabbit on the Moon story. There is also a version of the story with key vocabulary in Japanese for those wishing to teach Japanese language. After listening to the story, students will recall key locations, characters, and events in the story and summarise them on their own story plate.
Also included is a PDF Activity Pack (containing origami rabbit instructions and a kanji practice worksheet) which can be printed out and used by students independently or during extracurricular activities such as Japan club.
An editable version of the PPTs are available on request - contact education@japansociety.org.uk.
