This game was inspired by Aurelio Mizukami's alphabet evolution janken game. To play this game you will need to share the slides with the teacher so the students have access to them. We used "Classroom" to share the slides.
How to play:
- When the activity begins every student should be on the 1st slide with a banana and a flag from the Philippines.
- In pairs, student A asks "Where is the banana from?" and student B answers "The banana is from the Philippines".
- Then the students swap sentences, student B will ask the question and student A will answer.
- Once the students are done they have to play rock scissors paper 123. The winning student advances to the next slide and the student who lost remains on the same slide.
- The students then say goodbye to each other and they have to look for a new partner to pair up with and repeat the same steps as above.
I'd recommend going over the slides to practice the sentences. You can even use the slides to review food, clothing, country etc. vocabulary.
You can also advance the activity by having the students say "The Philippines is in Asia".
Pretty good activity. I'd change where is "the banana" to where is "this banana" from though. As "the" implies that the item originated from that country. I'm not sure where bananas originated from but I know for a fact kiwifruit didn't originate from America. So yeah I'd just change "the" to "this" then its good :)
I originally had "this" and some of my T1 teachers preferred "the", even after explaining how the meanings change between this and the.
This activity has been linked to the New Horizons 1 textbook which is for JHS. I think this activity is supposed to be for New Horizons 6 for Elementary students.
