Outline:  Practice names of different countries and the target grammar. "Where are you from?" "I`m from _________."
 
Materials Needed:
  • Flash cards of different country flags
  • Smaller picture cards of the same flags
  • StartingDestination Worksheet

 

Procedure:
  1. First you pull out the large World Map......the kids are really wowed at about this time!  After, start showing the flashcards of the various country flags that you would like to teach the kids and have them raise their hands if they know the country that the flag belongs to and have them point it out on the world map. Make sure that you get them chanting the correct English and not the "katakanized" equivalents.
  2. Next you teach the grammar point of the lesson.
    • Q: "Where are you from?"
    • A: "I`m from __________."
  3. Practice a couple times with the kids. Ask them the question and have them answer, then repeat by having them ask yourself. When the kids have become comfortable with the vocabulary and grammar, have them interview each other.
  4. They each receive a country card.  The small country cards are made into a simple necklace for each card and is worn around their neck. This is easily done by punching some holes and running some string through them. The kids must wear a country`s flag around their neck and not show the others. Just say "secret...sshhh!" and point to the card around your own neck.
  5. The object of the game is to first Janken with someone, the winner gets to ask the question "Where are you from?". The loser must answer which country he is from. The finish the interview with a "See you!" and move onto the next player.
  6. Students must try and complete their worksheets in a given time. Use a stopwatch and give them 10-12mins.
  7. Demonstrate a couple times with the JTE/HRT before they start interviewing each other to ensure they understand.

 

Teaching Suggestions:
  • When showing the various countires and teaching the names in english, ask them what is the capital of each country. You`ll be surprised!

 

Variations:

  • Instead of necklaces you can just give them the small picture of the flag, memorize it and put it in their pockets.

 

Cautions:

  • Make sure and warn the kids that they must use english and not just point to the picture of the flag that is hanging around their neck.
