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
deck of days of the week cards, 3-5 of each day
Unlike my previous version this one will use cards. I use the cards that were provided to me but you can use whatever cards you like the best(This way more students will say a variety of days).
As a disclaimer I use two sets of day flashcards. One that uses English and Japanese, and one that uses foods that either start with the same letter or easy for the students to remember. The playing cards themselves have the Hiragana and English while the board is food+day. You can edit for whatever you like best.
i.e.
Mochi Monday
Tako Tuesday
Weiner Wednesday
Taiyaki Thursday
Ebi Friday
Sandwich Saturday
Ice Cream Sunday
Split the class into groups of four and put desks together. Give each group a mat and a deck of cards. Rock, scissors, paper to determine who goes first.
Student A will draw from the top of the deck (let's say Friday) the rest of the students will ask Student A "What day is it?". Student A will reply "it's Friday" and place the eraser on the desk or the white part of the paper and flick the eraser to Friday. If more than half of the eraser lands on Friday the card is theirs, then B will draw from the top of the deck and repeat.
But if student A misses then Student B will have a chance to steal the point, but the group must still ask, "What day is it?". If B misses then this will continue to C and D, but if everyone misses the card will return to the bottom of the deck and the next person will draw a new card.
Anything is better than 'Thursday Circle Pie'...
