Shojiki Game [Japanese club]

Yesterday, I attended another meeting of Japanese Club in my school.
I wasn't planning to actually but Suki-chan really insisted for to come.
So I came.
And it was a right decision as I was able to have so much fun.


We were divided into five groups with 5 members each.
I was in the same group with Suki-chan and 3 other friends.
And then, the president explained to us about Shojiki Game that we were going to play.


Shojiki Game is an outdoor game where we have to run to checkpoints that has been decided earlier.
And at each checkpoints, we will be given a challenge and we will have to complete it before moving to the next checkpoints.


Everyone was so excited to start and when our president shouted, "HAJIME!" we all ran out of the lecture theater and rushed to the first checkpoint. At the first checkpoint, we had to search 5 rooms to look for 4 Japan's flags and 1 army flag. It was hard, especially to look for the army flag. We only managed to find them all after the other groups left. We were left behind!


Second checkpoint was where we were told to stand in one line. The community members in-charged whispered a Japanese sentence to the one at the back and then the person had to deliver the message correctly to the on in front. So easy! :D


At the third checkpoint, we were ask to say numbers in Japanese withing 15 seconds. The community members who were there will say a number in English and we were supposed to say it in Japanese. It was a very easy task for me and Suki-chan as we learned Japanese for a year already. But not for our three friends. So, we took time to teach them how to say all the numbers in Japanese. Luckily, they learned quite easily and we managed to complete the challenge without any problems.


Next checkpoint, we were give a sentence which was written in Japanese Hiragana and we had to read it to the community members who were in charged there. Hmm, reading Hiragana, again is not a problem for me and Suki-chan :D The committee members there were so surprised when we didn't even have to refer to the hiragana table :D We read it as soon as we got the sentence.


At the last checkpoint, the Mr.President was waiting for us at the door of the Lecture theater.
The challenge here was we had to introduce ourselves in Japanese to the President! Again, a very easy task for me and Suki-chan. But, then...we had to teach our three friends first. It didn't take too long as they learned very quickly. And we passed!


When we entered the Lecture Theater, we were surprised to see that we were the first group to arrive!
Which mean, we won!
Yay!


And then, we all watched Kimi Ni Todoke Live action with everyone.
It was such a great experience :D
Oh ! After the meeting was dismissed, me and Suki-chan were called by the president. He had the serious looks on his face and that made me kind of nervous.
He was like, "Miki. Miki. I have something to talk to you"
When there were only us in the room, he said, "You guys are appointed as the committee members in-charge of Language"
Wow! Unexpected!
