Introducing “Hundred People One Poem” Enhancing App for Kids +
Are your kids struggling to memorize all 100 poems? Are they confused by the Japanese language and have no idea what they’re saying? Well, fear not! We have the solution to all your problems.
This app is designed to make memorizing the poems fun and interactive for kids. It has a variety of menus that will keep them engaged and motivated. All the poems, explanations, and even the pronunciation have furigana, so they’re easy to read and understand. And let’s not forget about the meanings! We’ve simplified them and expressed them in a way that kids can understand.
But that’s not all! We’ve also made sure that the app is compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. It’s a universal app that you can try out before buying the actual cards.
Now, let’s talk about the menus:
Get Familiar with Karuta: We’ve divided the 100 poems into smaller groups to make it less overwhelming. In this menu, the goal is to familiarize kids with all the poems. Each group has different activities like recognizing the characters, understanding the meanings, listening to the pronunciation, learning the special rules, and a challenge to test their skills. With furigana provided for every part of the poems, kids can play and concentrate on their own. And once they understand the meanings, the poems won’t be just some mysterious incantations anymore. We’ve made sure to explain love and philosophical concepts in a way that kids can relate and understand.
Battle with Chama-meow: Chama-meow is the cat character in this app. You can adjust Chama-meow’s strength, the number of cards in play, and how they’re read to keep the motivation high. After all, “Karuta” is an enduring game from the feudal era. And once your kid becomes a Karuta master, they won’t feel disappointed anymore when they have no one to play with. Busy moms can also leave the game to this app. Even if they can’t win at first, it’s fun to see their progress and how they become better and better at Karuta.
Quick Memorization of Special Characters: This menu is designed to help kids memorize the special characters. Just send the cards they haven’t memorized to the right and the ones they know to the left. It’s simple to use, and it only shows the cards they need to memorize repeatedly. The number of cards decreases over time, making it challenging and enjoyable. Once they clear this menu, they can try playing against Chama-meow in the “Battle with Chama-meow” menu.
Read Aloud: This menu displays the cards and reads the poems aloud. Kids can listen to the pronunciation multiple times and memorize them through hearing. It includes the audio for all 101 poems, including the opening poem for competitive Karuta. The shuffle function adds a bit of randomness to the learning experience. If you have actual Karuta cards, you can use this app’s audio as a reader, and everyone can play as both the reader and the player.
Flow of Cards: This menu allows kids to practice recognizing the upper parts of the poems by looking at the lower parts of the cards. It’s great to use once they get a bit more familiar with the poems. It can also be used as a practice tool for competitive Karuta.
So there you have it! With this app, your kids will have a blast memorizing the poems and become Karuta masters in no time. Say goodbye to overwhelming amounts of poems and confusing Japanese language. Give it a try and see your kids’ skills and motivation soar!
