Activity

Grade 5 Unit 7 What club and job?

rock-paper-scissors race

Instructions:
Hand out the worksheet to all the students. It features 10 clubs and jobs and is designed as a rock-paper-scissors race activity. (Don't really have a specific name for this activity)

How it works:
 Students will race from the first club and job on the list to the last one.
 Everyone should stand up and walk around to find a partner.
 Using the target phrases, students will take turns asking and answering the questions:
"What club do you want to join?" → "I want to join the ___ club."
"What do you want to be?" → "I want to be a ____."
 One student will ask the questions, and the other will respond. Afterward, they will switch roles.

 Both students must answer based on the first club and job listed on their worksheets.
 After completing the dialogue, they will play rock-paper-scissors.
 The winner moves on to the next club and job, while the loser stays on the same one.
 Each student then finds a new partner and repeats the process.
 Only the winner of rock-paper-scissors can advance to the next club and job.

 Initially, give students 5 minutes to see how far they progress. Check how many students reach the finish.
 If many students struggle to move forward (e.g., they get stuck on the first club and job), consider extending the time.
 To prevent students from getting stuck for too long, you can introduce a rule: If a student loses twice in a row, they can move on to the next club and job anyway.
