This is a modified version of a powerpoint posted by jonnysniper here on Altopedia.
Materials and Prep
- Give whiteboards and markers to groups of 4-5
- A copy of the accompanying worksheet to each student
Quiz Gameplay
Click through the slide animations. The first few slides are warmup and only have one correct answer for the English name. Then the real game begins.
First check that they know what the movie/character/etc. is called in Japanese. In Japan, we call it スタバ for example. Then, they will be presented with 5 choices for what it's called in English. A quiz timer will then start (as you click through the animations). A sound effect will play when the timer runs out. Have them raise their whiteboards to show you their answer.
The topics are heavily skewed towards Ghibli movies, since I'm a huge Ghibli fan. Please feel free to change the topics and answers as you see fit.
Good activity. Thank you for sharing. I just thought I'd mention a couple of things in case you are unaware of them. On the Whisper of the Heart slide, the red arrow appears before the timer starts. Also, on the KFC slide, Kentucky is spelled in English rather than katakana.
Thanks for pointing it out! I've fixed the errors.
Oh my lord my 2nd graders loved thisssssss
Something you might want to update is the correct answers. Every correct answer is either option C, D or E (never A or B), with a heavy bias toward C (half of the correct answers)
