Environmental Karuta Workshop at The Atrium School

On January 13, 2011, The Atrium School welcomed an Environmental KARUTA Workshop. Atrium students connected with children's visions of biodiversity from around the world as showcased in the United Nations' Children's Environmental Paintings exhibition -- and explored their own ideas on the subject.

KARUTA is a traditional Japanese card game. Players listen to the reading card (Yomifuda) and compete to grab the corresponding picture card (Torifuda) among those spread out on the floor. More info on Karuta:
