Japanese free online resource for 9 year old?

Hi all,

I have a student who is 9 years old but very motivated to communicate with a Japanese friend at her school.

Do you know of any resources online that would be appropriate for a 9 year old to learn some Japanese?

Thanks.

Here is a site where you may be able to find something, run by a government run public interest corporation, JITCO.

Kids Web Japan has lots of cultural stuff aimed at kids, as well as a fair bit of language education:
