      Hello guys. I want to share with you an activity to practice imperative. I call it the "Penalty Game". I made a worksheet with 12 squares. Each square has a penalty. For example: "jump 10 times", "Draw a hippo on the the blackboard", "write the ALT's name in Kanji on the blackboard", or " dance Sekai no Owari". These is a viral video on Tik Tok that all students know. I try to be updated with tik tok or in order to make fun lessons for the kids. 1/3

      2/3 the students have to play janken, and the winner have to give the order. After the other student perform the penalty, the winner sings the loser's worksheet. Tell them not to be so loud, otherwise it can become a bit wild lol.

      3/3 I normally do this for 10 min. After that I check if they understand the point. Once they get it, i told them that i want to know about the school rules. I want them to say things like: "Wear masks", "don't talk during lunch", "come to school at 7:50". Last 10 min I ask them to write these rules. You can use this activity for 2nd (have to) and 3rd grade (I want you to). Let me know how did it go.
