Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of non-daily-experiences on children's lives at kindergarten through observations of an overnight-camp. In particular, the study investigated aspects that function as non-daily experiences beyond the teachers' intentions as a result of children's living in a story. Several studies have investigated the way in which children recognized stories between fantasy and reality (Woolley & Wellman 1990). Moreover, some researchers have reported the meaning of exploratory activities by imaginary creatures that appeared in their kindergarten stories from "scary monsters" to "protectors" of the kindergarten. Furthermore, they reconstituted kindergarten activities with novel meanings and recreated it by their living in a shared story.
