Ohashiki(?) "How are you?" game

Inspired by the bean bag toss game (I forgot where). A fun way for your students to say and review vocab and phrases.

Inspired by the bean bag toss game read on another ALT game site, but some schools are strict on throwing objects in schools so I made this game as a medium.

Required items:
eraser

Split the class into groups. (4 max) and move their desks together.
Hand out the game boards to each group.

Each corner is divided between red, blue, purple and green. Each student takes a corner and will tally their points in their corner.
Demonstrate on the TV/projector or ideally with a USB camera and a practice board with the HRT.
Place an eraser at one of the corners. The HRT will then ask "How are you?" and have students repeat as well, as all group members will need to ask whoever shooting. Reply "I'm (feeling)." then flick your eraser to that feeling. The HRT and the ALT will then switch roles.

One point for landing on the spot. A miss is no points. The star in the middle is worth two points.

Note: Interac's library uses angry, fine, good, great, happy, sad, tired, sleepy, sick, hungry, thirsty, hot and cold. I've added "not good" as another emotion. All can be changed to whatever you are using for consistency.

    Great love the idea! I'd be hesitant to post clipart that's copyrighted without permission.
