I have prepared a Pop Quiz for you about these stamps. It is ok to get an adult at home involved! Shall we set the mood? Imagine me singing the Jeopardy! theme in Japanese. (It sounds exactly like the Jeopardy! theme in English.)
Ready? Set? GO!
Stamp number "ichi"
This stamp shows a pagoda behind cherry tree blossoms. The Japanese government gave 3,000 cherry trees to the U.S. as a gift in 1912. Where are they planted?
Stamp number "ni"
In the heart of Tokyo is the Tokyo tower. It was built in 1953 and is copied after the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Although it is a broadcasting relay tower, it has an observation deck and a great view of the city. Which is taller, the Eiffel or Tokyo Tower, and by how much.
Stamp number "san"
On the left is a red torii, an entry gate to a temple, shrine or sacred place. On the right are several bright green leaves that are turning yellow, orange and red. It is unlikely you will find these trees growing in Colorado because they prefer moist soil. What sort of tree is it?
Stamp number "shi"
If you read Lesson 'Yon' this one is easy. What is the name of this bridge and why is it famous?
Stamp number "yon"
This is the Japanese bullet train. It’s the fastest train in the world. How fast does it go?
Stamp number "go"
Look in the background first. This could be Mount Fuji. If you had to guess, what type of apples are in the foreground?
Just in time. The Jeopardy! theme ended. Nicely done.
