A series of Japanese songs relating to animals such as "ぞうさん"、"もりのくまさん"can be introduced as an activity extension from the big book. The suggested procedure follows:
 
  • Use a digital projector to project the images onto a screen/whiteboard
  • As the teacher introduces the songs, s/he points to the lyric line
  • Repeat the procedure each time to encourage/reinforce reading hiragana
