【No. 0537】The High Tech Onigokko (Tag)
Jun 7, 2016 17:45
Onigokko (which is called the game of tag in English) is very popular children's play in Japan.
One child is decided as oni (which means an ogre), and other children run away so as not to be caught by the oni.
A child who is caught and the oni swap their roles, and onigokko continues.
This is a very simple play, but recently it's changing.
I heard that children run away while exchanging information, such as the current location of oni, using their smartphones.
Also, GPS information or radio wave condition of Wi-Fi is used among some group of children.
I realized that the high-tech age is coming.

ハイテク鬼ごっこ
鬼ごっこは、日本でポピュラーな子どもの遊びの一つです。
鬼を一人決め、そのほかの子どもは鬼に捕まらないように逃げます。
鬼に触られてしまった子は、鬼と役割を交代し、遊びは続きます。
とてもシンプルな遊びですが、最近は少し様子が異なっているようです。
逃げる側の子どもたちは、スマホで鬼の現在地などの情報を交換しながら逃げたりするそうです。
また、GPS情報やWi-Fiの電波状況なども利用されることがあるようです。

Interesting! Childhood isn't what it used to be.
