Japanese good luck

In Japan February 3rd is "Setsubun no hi".
Children dress up as monsters and stand outside the door, hoping to bring bad luck into the house.
The rest of the household/class throw beans at them saying
"oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi".  This means "bad luck stay out, good luck come in".
We tried this in our class today, hoping to bring good luck to our class for the year.
