Create Mii (cards) "Can you...?"

Card making activity for "Can"

Goal:
Students will create Mii character cards in pairs and complete a radar chart by asking/answering each other using the key phrases.

Key Phrases:
-- Can you ___?
-- Yes, I can _
_ well.
-- Yes, I can ___ .
-- Yes, I can ___ a little.
-- No, I can't.

How To:
- Review vocabulary for the chapter, key phrases, and "a little" if the students haven't learned it.
- Go over the PPTX instructions (has Japanese).
- Split the class into pairs.
- Hand out cards and let students start.

Inside the PPTX
- Each student is going to make a card for their partner by interviewing them with 6 questions.
- Students will ask their partners the 3 premade questions surrounding the radar chart.
(1) Can you swim? Can you play the piano? Can you do arts and crafts?
(2) Their partner should answer with one of the following for each question: "Yes, I can ___ well./ Yes, I can ___ ./ Yes, I can ___ a little./ No, I can't .
- After they answer the premade questions, they should fill in the 3 blank areas on the card and continue asking "Can you __?"
(1) Can you play [ball sport]? Can you do [Japanese traditional sport]? Can you [something that partner can do well at]?
- Shade in the radar chart based on how well they can preform the action. (see pptx slides 6, 8,9 if confused)
- Color your partner as a Mii at the bottom of the card.
- Trade cards when finished.

** Notes: **
I found that using a large example card at the front of the room with my co-teacher made it much easier for the kids to know what we were doing. You could have the kids present their cards at the end, but I didn't.
If you have a Nintendo Account, you can make a custom Mii online and replace my Mii picture in the PPTX:
