My JTE and I first asked the students how many prefectures are in Japan and then to guess how many we've been to. After that, we would give them three hints that started difficult and then got easier for them to guess what prefecture. We would also have them talk with their partner about what prefecture they think it is. We started out with Fukui because that's where I'm based. In the end, we transitioned into the key sentence for the JTE to explain the grammar point for the lesson. Overall, it was a fun warmup and introduction to the grammar point.

This is a really good idea, and I like your examples! How did you specifically colour in each prefecture you've been to?
Hi! That was all in Adobe Illustrator. If you find a vector editing tool, you can do it as well
This is a great idea.
this is SO perfect for a sudden lesson that just popped up. thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
For those that don't have adobe illustrator, I found this website to fill out the prefectures! https://www.mapchart.net/japan.html
