札よ、逃げるな！森のかるた最強決定戦

リスのリッキー、ウサギのウーちゃん、クマのクーちゃんは、かるたが得意です。

リッキーの「くるくる木の実キャッチ」 決まり字が読まれると、素早く反応！体を小さく丸め、くるくると回りながら札の周りを旋回する！ まるで木の実を追うように、予測不能の動きで相手を翻弄！一瞬のスキを突いて、「ぱっ！」と鋭く札をつかみ取る！「どんぐりより速い動き、見えたか！？」と自信満々。

ウーちゃんの「ぴょんぴょん耳ダッシュ＆ピンポイント叩き」 長い耳をピンと立て、読まれる札の方向を瞬時にキャッチ！ 「この札ピョン！」とつぶやくと、跳ねながら高速移動！ 札の上空で完璧なジャンプを決め、空中で「ペチッ！」と正確に叩き取る！「森ではこの跳躍が標準ルール」と誇らしげ。

クーちゃんの「重厚なる一撃！ベアーズプレス」 ゆったりと構え、札が読まれるのをじっと待つ。「来たぞ…！」と低くうなり、一歩を踏み出した瞬間、「ドォン！」と札を巨大な手で覆い尽くす！「わしの札は誰にも渡さん！」と堂々と宣言。 しかし、「あれ、地面…揺れてる？」

今日5月27日は、百人一首の日。森の動物たちは、かるた競技で楽しい一日を過ごしました。



Don’t Let the Cards Escape! The Forest Karuta Battle


Ricky the Squirrel, U-chan the Rabbit, and Kuu-chan the Bear are all great at playing Karuta. Today, they gather to see who is the best!

Ricky’s "Spin and Snatch!" As soon as the card is read, Ricky reacts quickly! He curls up and spins around the card, moving like a nut falling from a tree. With unpredictable movements, he confuses his opponents. Then, in one swift motion—"Snap!"—he grabs the card! “Did you see that? I’m faster than an acorn!” he says proudly.

U-chan’s "Bunny Dash and Precise Tap!" With long ears standing tall, U-chan listens carefully and finds the right card instantly! She hops across the field, jumping high into the air—"Boing!"—then lands perfectly and taps the card. “In the forest, jumping like this is the normal way to play!” she says proudly.

Kuu-chan’s "Bear Press Power!" Kuu-chan waits patiently. He listens carefully as the card is read. Then, he takes a big step forward—"Thump!"—and presses his huge paw down on the card! “No one can take this card from me!” he declares. But wait… “Huh? Is the ground shaking?”

Today, May 27, is Karuta Day. The forest animals spent the day playing and having fun together!
