Board Game "Let's Save the Animals" ES6U6

Just a board game that encourages kids to 1. Use the TL from the unit 2. Support each other with minimum teacher interference

The directions for the game are printed on the 2nd page of the gameboard, which I double-side print and laminate.

You will need:

  1. Dice - one for each group
  2. A way of marking points on the game board. Ohajiki, colored marker, 100 yen store ポイント "point" stickers.
  3. One game board for each group of kids

Kids are put into their study or lunch groups (or any group of 3-5 you deem appropriate).

They janken in their group. Rules say to go clockwise from the kid who won janken.

When it becomes your turn, roll the dice. Decide which endangered animal you want to save.

Student whose turn it is: "Let's save the (animal)!" (henceforth referred to as "SWTII")

Teammates reply "What can we do?"
SWTII: "Let's (reduce, reuse, plant trees, stop hunting)." Rolls dice, receives stickers/ohajiki etc. that match the number they roll, and place it on the animal they wish to save. Once they reach that animal's number, the animal is "saved".

The two files I have attached are a 2-page A3 sized board game to print double-sided, rules on the back in English and Japanese.

The second file is a file of the target language. In that file are color coded markers that refer to 森 forest - for "forest loss" 暖 warm for "global warming" and 狩 hunting - for "stop hunting".

      An addendum - The TL file, I blow it up to A3 on the photocopier → cut the sentences in half → blow both sides up to A3 a second time → tape them together to make a poster.

      If you don't have the lined paper font, it is on the DVDroms for the old New Horizon digital materials, it's called "NHHandwriting RL Light"
