Toyooka Village Municipal Toyooka Kita Elementary School, Grade 4

At Toyooka-Kita Elementary School, 14 fourth-grade students used their integrated studies time to create educational games to teach disaster preparedness in an engaging way. As they researched past disasters, local geography, and hazardous areas in their community, the students began to think about what they themselves could do to protect lives. Their journey evolved into student-designed games filled with creativity and purpose.
