3. Printout sheets for Option A: Connect 3 Boardgame (There's a colored version similar to the pictures on the textbook, an all-blue colored version, and grayscale version)
4. Printout sheets for Option B: Find your Match (There are 3 design sheets. Each sheet has 8 different cards, so if you have 32 students, you can photocopy 1 design sheet or 8 cards x 4 copies, so that students will find 3 other classmates with the same card). You can still use the other design sheets, if you want a Round 1,2,3...
Here's the Activity Details for each Option:
A. Connect 3 Game
Give 1 copy of the printout – 1 copy for 2 students, or share the digital file with students, through Loilo Note.
4年_Unit5_Stationery_Review and Speaking Activity_Connect Three Game.pdf
2 students use 1 copy of the Connect 3 Board Game.
They play Rock, Scissors, Paper to find out who will start first.
The first player will pick any object from the Board Game, and say the English Word.
If they say the word correctly, they mark that object with a blue pencil.
The second player will also do the same. The second player will use a red pencil.
They take turns in playing.
Once a player has 3 objects in 1 straight line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal line), they connect the 3 circles, and score 1 point.
The game is finished when all objects are taken. The person with the most points wins.
Option 1: Vocabulary Speaking only
Students say the word only (stapler, calendar, and so on.)
Option 2: Speaking Practice:
Students practice the sentence: “I have a stapler. I have a calendar., and so on.”)
B. Find your Match (Speaking Practice)
Print the file and photocopy based on # of students per class. 1 design sheet has 8 cards, so if you have 32 students, make 4 copies of the same design sheet. Cut all the cards and shuffle, then give 1 card per student.

(After “Let’s Chant” Activity)
Recommended Script:
Person Guessing: “Do you have a ____ ?”
Person Answering: “Yes, I do.” / “No, I don’t.”
(Note: The program includes an additional object: “tag” or sticky-note, but the teacher can choose to exclude this from the activity because it is not in the textbook vocabulary. Or, if it will be included, teach the English word at the start of the class.)
Person Answering: Use the tablet to make your own pencil case. There are 12 objects in total. The pencil case can contain 1, 2, 3, or even 12 objects. Put only 1 piece of each kind of object.
Person Guessing: Keep your tablet blank at the start. Ask the question, “Do you have a _____?” If your partners answers, “Yes, I do.”, add that same object to your tablet. If your partner answers, “No, I don’t.”, don’t add that object. Once you have asked your partner about all 12 objects, compare your tablets to check if you made the same pencil case.
Exchange roles.

Option 2: By pair:
Person Speaking: Use the tablet to make your own bag. There are 14 objects in total. The bag should contain at least 5 objects. Talk about your bag to your partner, using the script: “This is my bag. I have 1 eraser, 2 staplers, 5 glue sticks. I have 3 pens – green, purple, and red. I have 2 rulers – yellow and blue. I don’t have markers in my bag.”
Person Guessing: Keep your tablet blank at the start. Listen to your partner’s speech. If your partner says, “I have __”, add that same object to your tablet. If your partner says, “No, I don’t have __.”, don’t add that object. Once your partner has finished his speech, compare your tablets to check if you made the same bag.
