Hello. We are English Speaking Society (ESS). We planned Christmas games and activity. Then we lead the event. We got to meet people from the Philippines, New Zealand, America, and England. We played many fun English games and learn about some Christmas traditions.

We play blind game. They are in teams. In each team, one person cannot see. Another person guides him to the end. At the end are Christmas ornaments for Christmas tree. The blind person must pick them. There is a good word and a bad word. In each team, one person cannot see the words. Their partner must give them hints to guess the word. The person must say the good word and NOT the bad word. Christmas tree decoration. There are two trees. Each team has to decorate their tree. Hayashi-sensei, Namie-sensei, and Julianne-sensei judged the best tree. Students write letters to Santa Claus. "Dear Santa, I want -- for Christmas." We will send the letters to Santa and they will receive a letter back in return. This year is the first ever Mineyama High school Christmas event with elementary students and international residence. I hope to see you next year. Let's have fun!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
