This activity is made for (be) going to, but can be used for any grammar point that has a question form. Played with Junior high school second grade.
I used Chat GPT to create the question and answer sets, which I recommend if you adapt the activity to a different grammar point because making them would have taken a lot of time.
We played for 5 minutes, which was just right. The activity probably took 8 minutes total with the explanation.
I used example questions and answers on a powerpoint to demonstrate with my JTE, and we didn't need any Japanese explanation.
I laminated the sheets and then cut them so my fidgety students didn’t destroy the slips.
- Each student has a question slip and an answer slip that do not match.
- There can be any number of question sets, but the more questions sets there are, the less likely the students are to find matches. 15 sets for 40 students was too many, 10 would have been better.
- They will walk around the classroom and talk to other students.
- Janken to start. Winner reads out their question. Other students responds by reading their answer. The students decide if their Q and A are a set. Then the other student reads their question.
- If they have a set, they hand the set to a teacher and continue with only their remaining cards. If students had no cards I gave them a new set.
