Part One:
This is a rock scissors paper game the students can play in pairs. You set a time limit and the students do rock scissors paper. The winner points to a character on their paper and asks 'Who's this boy?' (or girl or man or woman) and the loser answers. The winner then circles the character on their worksheet. They then play rock scissors paper again and repeat the process. After a time limit of about 1 or 2 minutes they stop and count. Whoever circled the most characters is the winner. To demonstrate you can use two large copies or you can use one large copy and the powerpoint slide. You click on the characters to make a circle appear.
Characters Top Row: Sazaesan, Kyojuro, Dokinchan, Anpanman, Anya, Ran, Mario
Bottom Row: Namihei, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Loid, Yor, Conan, Peach
NEXT: Two Quiz Games
The goal of this part of the lesson is to learn how to explain about people.
Part One introduces some adjectives. Make groups and show the first picture. One member should rush up with a sentence 'He is strong'. Give points to groups based on speed of response. Alternately you could use point cards.
The second part is a O X quiz. They must complete the sentences with 'is' or 'isn't' about the two famous people. Again one student from each group comes up to the teacher with their answers. This time the teacher's record O or X on the team score boards and after every team is finished do the answer check.
The last activity is writing about characters. I usually keep them in groups if time is limited and they can work together to make profiles about famous people. If they have enough time I have them work on their own.
I give stickers to groups or students that complete one or two profiles depending on the time.
NOTE: There is a fair bit of material here so it might be hard to get through everything. This is especially true if you have a 45 minute lesson.
By O X quiz or 'Maru Batsu Quiz' I meant 'true or false quiz'. The students will know them as 'maru batsu quiz' though
