Though we were a few weeks behind, we had our annual English Club Valentine's Day party last Saturday. This party was a little bittersweet because it is our final holiday party for our English Club. We'll be having a "Good-bye" party in a few weeks with some of our English Club members, but this was the last official English Club party.
The festivities included a rhyming/unscramble the letters to make a word game, some lovey dovey related skits to commemorate what Valentine's Day is really all about, and of course, it wouldn't be a Valentine's Day party without some Spin the Bottle!!!! Before you start freaking out and think we forced our high school students to kiss one another, you must realize that we would never do that!! We ingeniously swapped kissing for asking questions! Now we said any question was okay, but the students still related all of their questions to love, friendship, or Valentine's Day, so we got some pretty interesting questions, such as, "How will you treat your girlfriend when you have one in the future?" or "What did you and your boyfriend do on Valentine's Day?" Though these seem like harmless questions, to Japanese high school students these are cheek-turning-red questions, even if they aren't the ones answering them!
All in all, it was a great final Valentine's Day party, and to make the day even better, it was followed up by a night at the movies watching the newest Narnia (Voyage of the Dawn Treader) in 3D!!!
Of course we ate lots of delicious sweets, including raspberry chocolate mousse, oreo pudding, strawberry cake, strawberry cheesecake, and a peanut butter cup dessert cake.
