参加者・スタッフ合わせて計56人、ちょうど良い人数のひろばとなりました。出身国・地域は日本、中国、台湾、マレーシア、スウェーデン、アメリカでした。
はじめに、司会者からあいさつがあり、多文化子育てひろばのニックネームが前回の投票の結果「いちご一会」に決まったことが報告されました。このひろばの目的やニックネームにこめられた思いのようにパパママ同士の交流の輪が広がるとうれしいです。
ピアノの伴奏は木村さん。みなさん、上手に歌えるようになってきました。その後に、スウェーデン出身のミリアムさんがスウェーデン語で「幸せなら手をたたこう」を歌ってくれました。音程が日本とは少し違うという発見がありました。
そして、全員で大きな輪になって、小林さんが企画したアイルランドのゲーム「プレゼント渡しゲーム」を先ほどの歌に合わせて行いました。プレゼントが包まれたボールのようなものを回していき、歌が止まったところで持っていた人が包み紙を開いていきます。プレゼントが出てくるまでそれをくり返しました。
包み紙を開く度に歓声が上がり、5回目でついにプレゼントが出てきました。プレゼントはお菓子で、受け取った男の子は喜んでいました。
結果は以下の通りです。
※(2)-(4)は同じ回答のグループ数

「あいさつ」の時間にはスウェーデン出身のミリアムさんがスウェーデン南部の方言であいさつを教えてくれました。「こんにちは」を意味する「ヘイ(hej)」はいろいろな場面で使える言葉らしいです。

ひろば終了後は、お弁当を食べたり、おしゃべりをしたりと楽しいひとときを過ごし交流を深めました。
次回の多文化子育てひろば「いちご一会」は6月5日(日)10:30開始、場所はブログでお知らせします。(5月はお休みです。)
みなさんにお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

On Sunday,3rd of April,2016,our 3rd Multicultural Playgroup (Ichigo Ichie) was held at Cafe Kokoraku.
56 participants from Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Sweden and America enjoyed chatting and information exchange.
First we sang a song "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands "in 4 different languages. (Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean)
Miriam-san from Sweden also sing for us in Swedish.
Next we had game-time organized by Kobayashi-san from Japan. She introduces us an Irish game. It was fun especially for the kids.
Then, we shared the information of favorite playground and place to visit with children in groups of 5-6 people. It was very useful information exchange and we all enjoyed chatting.
After that we had Miriam-san from Sweden who teaches us Swedish greetings. We enjoyed the pronunciation.
In story time, Miriam-san read out a famous Swedish children story book. It was translated by Mino-san from Japan. We all enjoyed it.
