Create your own kite and fly it!

Students will start the day at CGK where they will learn about what it takes to make a good kite and the science behind flight. They will then work to create their own kites out of classroom materials and personalise them to make them their own. Once they have made their kites we will take the bus to Kishine Park where students will have a picnic, get to fly their kites, and have some time to play before returning to CGK.

*In case of bad weather students will still make kites, but they will have lunch at CGK.
*We will take the CGK bus from CGK Kannai Campus at 10 am.

Reuse classroom junk to create original artwork!

Students will discuss recycling and look at various art projects from around that world that have employed innovative techniques using reclaimed trash to create vibrant art works that share a message. Students will then work with friends or individually to create their own artwork using recycled materials in the classroom before presenting their work to their peers.

Special Co-Hosted Program with Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum!
Join this exclusive private program and explore the future of technology and innovation.

This spring, CGK Spring School participants will take part in a limited, private program available only to our students. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the forefront of technology and manufacturing.

Day 1: We will privately access the Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum and focus on the theme, “How Do Rockets Fly?” Through an interactive quiz tour, a hydrogen energy rocket experiment, a guided tour, and a theater presentation, students will explore the science and story behind rocket development. They will even have the chance to view the inside of a real rocket engine up close.

Day 2: Students will apply their learning through a hands-on engineering challenge. By forming hypotheses, designing, testing, and improving their own water rockets, they will discover how shape, weight, and balance affect flight. The rockets will then be launched at a nearby park.

This is more than just learning—it’s a true inquiry and engineering experience you can only find here.

*We will take the CGK bus from CGK Kannai Campus at 10 am.

Enjoy a fun filled day at Asobimare.

At Asobimare, students can enjoy sledding and playing in Snow Town, a special area made with artificial snow!

Work together to design and build a bridge that can span a gap and withstand some weight.

Working in groups, students will discuss, research, plan, and design ways they can build a bridge that spans a gap between two tables. Groups are free to choose a building style and material that works for them. During presentation time the bridges will be subjected to various stresses to see how they hold up and who made the strongest bridge.

Become CGK sports day champions!

Students will start the day at CGK where we will discuss the flow of the day, the rules of the facility, and decide mixed teams for the day. We will then take the CGK bus to Yokohama Country & Athletic Club (YC&AC) where teams will compete in a variety of tournament games. Using the large outdoor field students will participate in games of soccer, sprint, relay, handball, capture the flag, ultimate frisbee, kickball, dodgeball and more!

*This Sports Day is an event in which only children may participate. Please note that parents/guardians are not permitted to attend.

How do rainbows form and how can we make a rainbow?

Through hands-on activities using prisms, CDs, and soap bubbles, this science program helps students learn about rainbows, light, and how our eyes work.
By experimenting and observing what happens when light passes through water or glass, students will discover how colors are formed and how we see them. Using familiar materials, they will naturally develop scientific ways of thinking and observing through play.

Design and build your own original game!

Students will design and build their own original games using cardboard and other everyday materials.

Through thoughtful discussion and planning, they will collaborate in teams to turn their ideas into reality. After completing their creations, students will test their games, reflect on how they work, and refine them through repeated play.

This hands-on program fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork through the power of play.

Enjoy a picnic and active day out at the Children's Nature Park.

Enjoy an active day out with friends at the Children's Nature Park. We will walk around a lake and through a picturesque forest on our way to the picnic area surrounded by nature. After eating we will play games in the wide open spaces before heading to the large sale forest play area. There are plenty of things to climb, slide, and enjoy, as you put your strength and sense of adventure to the test! Children also have the opportunity to have hands-on interaction with small animals such as guinea pigs and mice

*Please inform us in advance if you do not wish to participate in animal interactions.
*In case of very bad weather we will take part in indoor activities focused on nature and on learning about the lives of living creatures.

Can we make batteries out of produce? Can a potato be a battery? How about a lemon?

Students will utilize the scientific method to learn what batteries and circuits are, learn how they work, and test and see if fruits and vegetables can be used as batteries. We will then test to see if we can use potatoes and lemons to power various electronic devices.

Become an explorer and search for wild animals!

Students will start their day at CGK where they will discuss the type of nature that they have seen in Yokohama. Students will imagine what Yokohama would have looked like before humans made it their home and discuss the importance of preserving natural areas and the benefits they bring as our cities continue to sprawl. Students will make their own nature booklets at CGK before taking the bus to the Yokohama Nature Sanctuary which is the largest forest in Yokohama. Students will explore the reserve, have a picnic, look for native animals that they can note down in their nature books, and then return to CGK for pick up.

*In case of very bad weather we will take part in various nature related activities and games.
*We will take the CGK bus from CGK Kannai Campus at 10 am.
