- No seat or desk arrangement needed
- No materials required (if you want point cards, please see the attached files below)
- Little to no prep is required
For detailed notes on how to play this game, it's all included in the notes section (PPTX file).
TLDR Ver:
- Play in rows
- [OPTIONAL] Have students decide the order in their team (give them about 30 secs). If you want to go straight into it, skip this.
- Go through the table together with the class, have them repeat after you
- [OPTIONAL] To further deepen their understanding on the grammar they’re reviewing, check the Japanese meaning with the class. You can ask the JTE to help you.
- Start with Team #1 to choose a block. They must say the sentence. After they have said the sentence, everyone will repeat after them.
Note: If they’re being indecisive or they feel too much pressure, assist them by pointing out the blocks on the screen. Make sure you say the sentences slowly too. You can also tell the students near them to help them make a sentence.
- Click on the block to see what they get.
- In the last 5 minutes or so, I normally do a lightning round where the class doesn’t repeat after a student. That way, they can get through many blocks.
That's it! :)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Oh my gosh this looks great!! My students were (literally) begging me to find a minecraft game for them and this is perfect!
@Chiikawa Thank you! Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions if you have any. :)

@Mellonicholia Sorry about that! I have now updated the link. Please try again. :)
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for all the hard work.
@Ulysses Thank you!
I was on sick leave and when I came back I needed something right away for my 3rd years. I was teaching relative clause and this did the trick. I plugged in the sentences and the game took most of the class. You rock!!!! I know the students get excited when it's your class.
@ronron Wow, I'm glad I could be of use for you! Glad it went well. :)
