We will ask the participants of the intervention group to join the GO course which will be held once every week for five weeks, total six times. In the GO course, the children will be taught GO by the GO masters of the Nihon Kiin and enjoy playing it for an hour, using a 6 by 6 or a 9 by 9 board, both of which are suitable for GO beginners. In addition to this course, the participants will perform GO problems for approximately twenty minutes a day, three times a week during the intervention period. To make the problems suitable for the child beginner level, the GO problems will be chosen by the staff of the Nihon Kiin. The staff is well experienced at designing beginner GO courses for tutoring elementary school children.
The participants of the control group will spend usual daily life.
