When your teacher stops you, listen to another group’s suggestion for one of the things above and try to say one way in which something else is actually better, e.g. “A maneki neko is the best souvenir” “Maybe, but kogeshi dolls are more traditional”. Then take turns doing the same.

Ask about anything above you are not sure about, working together to think of the most extreme options and suggesting more extreme options as a class each time.
