Aiming for a Winter Break Where Kids Are Good at Haiku: When Creating Haiku While Conversing with Children (Short Extra Edition)

So,
I intend to watch over and support the Noter Children's Department as well,

I will share as quickly as I can everything I keep in mind when creating haiku while conversing with children.
This is aimed at adults, and perhaps a bit more for intermediate level and above?After all, this is me putting into words what I do.

※Added early morning on December 27th
I've realized the sense of discomfort I felt while writing this article.I approach children after announcing that I am a "haiku person" and that we are going to make haiku now.
Please understand that this is not haiku creation for the purpose of pure communication, but that I am also seeking quality in the verses.

Things that might be good to tell the children
・Haiku poets and haiku love expressions that contain discoveries・Words with overlapping meanings and words that simply express the emotion of "it's fun" are a waste in haiku, so look for other words
・When choosing a seasonal word (kigo), if you think it's good and can explain the reason, it's all correct※Breaking away from the search for a single correct answer, which is common in children's thinking in other subjects, etc.
End of addition

Three things for adults to keep in mind

① Encourage them to incorporate discoveries
As long as the child is talking about "commonplace words,"continue the conversation by "asking follow-up questions about the next topic or details" until you reach a discovery.

② Basically, after thinking of the 12 syllables, look for a 5-syllable seasonal word.
If you start by looking for the seasonal word, it tends to become commonplace...Adults must not touch the final search for the seasonal word.
This is to foster independence.Have the child find a seasonal word that fits.

③ When it comes to word repetition, the adult should notice it and say,
"I feel like this word and this word have overlapping meanings, so how about a different word?"

That's about it.

I believe that by repeating this method,
the child will grasp the feeling of being able to create haiku on their own.

Words I often use for children who have improved and show ambition
That might be something everyone thinks of!It might be better if there's a discovery!
Oh! That one has more of a discovery in it!This might feel like the words are similar, so shall we try looking for a different word?
That's about it.

"I'm conscious of verses that have discoveries and verses that have overlapping meanings. I might be able to do it myself soon."
I would be happy if it reached that point.

When creating while conversing,
keep talking until the child tells you about a discovery.

Example

What are you looking forward to during winter break?

Grandpa's house

(Hmm, looking forward to Grandpa's house is a bit commonplace. Let me ask about the details.)

What are you looking forward to at Grandpa's house?

Mochi pounding

(Hmm, was that a seasonal word? I'm not sure, but well, 'Mochi-pounding at Grandpa's house.' This seems like it could become a haiku.)

Should I ask about the details...? I'll go with the strategy of asking about the frequency to add some realism. (*How you ask questions here is proportional to your haiku skills as an adult! That's why I count myself among those who are good at making haiku with children. Your haiku experience will come in handy.)

How many times have you been to Grandpa's house for mochi-pounding?

The fourth time!

(The fourth time, huh? If so, haiku poets will feel that as 'the fourth year' here.)

Which one do you like better, 'the fourth time' or 'the fourth year'? (*Have the child choose)

Fourth time mochi-pounding at Grandpa's house
Fourth year mochi-pounding at Grandpa's house

(*Even if you think one is better as a haiku, don't let the adult decide too much.)

Version without a seasonal word

What else?

Playing games with my cousin

(Hmm, shall I go with the pattern of asking about the game in detail? What kind of game?)

Video game

(What should I do? Let's try asking for details. What game is it?)

Splatoon!

(Yeah, I wonder if haiku poets in the world know Splatoon... What kind of game is Splatoon?)

A game where you paint colors!

(Oh! Painting colors during winter break, here it comes! How do you paint them?)

Um, you paint colors and get painted over many times!

(While talking, I keep my '12-syllable sensor' fully active. Once your haiku sensor starts working, your guidance will also improve. When I get into haiku mode, I notice 12 syllables right away.) Oh! That's interesting! 'Painting colors and getting painted over!' That's 12 syllables!

Since we're talking about winter break, should we use 'winter break' as the seasonal word?
Should we choose from this table?Refer to table

Winter break, painting and being painted
For example, if you choose 'winter mountain',
Winter mountain, painting and being painted

I feel like this wouldn't be out of place winning an Oi Ocha Haiku prize!
Even with other seasonal words, if the child chose it, it's okay!

We'll make it with a feeling like that!

I think I'm probably good at picking up words,
but I think it depends on how many times you've combined your own haiku creation with creating haiku while conversing with children.If adults have a sensor to notice 12 sounds,
(*Added on the 27th at 10 PM
If you have a sensor to notice 4 to 7 or 8 sounds,by adding particles or combining them, phrases of around 12 sounds will be completed, so

From Noriko-san's comment in the comment section

When making haiku with children, I pick out words close to 5 or 7 sounds from the words the child pops out, suggest them, and my son assembles them and finds a seasonal word himself to make one haiku. It's trial and error for the parent too, but it's fun to be able to compose together! ☺️✨
End of addition)
I think many haiku will be born quickly and enjoyably.

May wonderful haiku be born.

If there are questions, I would like to brush up on them each time *desire.
is.Thank you.

Even if I am increasing my rivals,
I want everyone to win the Oi Ocha Haiku contest.Let's submit to the Everyone's Haiku Tournament,
and let's also submit to the Oi Ocha Haiku contest♪

With love.
