Learn Japanese: The Colors of a Hero
Bassey is known for being energetic and helpful. Let’s learn some Japanese words that describe him:
- Ao (あお / Blue): This is Bassey’s signature color. In Japan, blue is often associated with youthful energy and freshness.
- Genki (げんき / Energetic): A very common Japanese word used to describe someone who is healthy, lively, and full of energy—just like Bassey!
- Untenshu (うんてんしゅ / Driver): When you wear this mask, you become the driver (or the bus itself!).
Japanese “Narikiri” Play
In Japan, pretending to be a favorite character is called “Narikiri” (なりきり) play.
Making paper masks is a classic activity in Japanese kindergartens to encourage this kind of imaginative play.
Instructions:
- Color Bassey with “Ao” (Blue) or any color you like.
- Cut out the mask carefully.
- Attach a string or band to wear it on your head like a hat or over your face as a mask.
