Thank you @NaganoSarah for the PPT base this activity is made on.
Step1: Practice the relevant textbook vocabulary and make sure to highlight pronunciation and meaning.
Step2: Divide the class into groups or have them play individually if your class is small. I have found that dividing into groups improves the lesson because children are naturally competitive and that keeps them engaged.
Step3: Here, we practice the game specific vocabulary and phrases, it might be necessary to break down some of the English words and translate them into Japanese. Use any of the four [4] phrase options to unlock a corresponding picture on the PowerPoint slide and reveal a point.
- Welcome to Japan, you can visit/Hōmon Peace park.[PLACES]
- Welcome to Japan, you can eat/Taberu sushi.[ FOODS]
- Welcome to Japan, you can enjoy/Tanoshī hot springs.[NATURE]
- Welcome to Japan, you can attend/Shussekisuru the star festival.[EVENTS]
Step4: Keep score on the chalkboard, either the ALT or JTE can do this.
*Allow the children to keep their textbooks open to help them remember which verb to use.
*Practice on the first slide marked EXAMPLE to get an idea of how the activity works.
* It is best to use an entire period, as the game requires a decent amount of time.
Really nice pictures and a useful little activity for this unit. Thanks very much!
Thank you @kusobaba, glad you found it useful. :)
Thank you😊
There are some glitches with the scores popping out on slide 4 but otherwise very nice activity.
Thank you!! :)
Really sorry about that @Fukutanisan, I don't know how to fix it. I just let it be, to avoid ruining the entire game.
