Brief Outline: The students give a robot commands and you (the robot) act them out. A lot of fun! 

Materials Needed:

• A soft toy for the remote control, like a soft dice or ball. This ensures the student holding the remote control is the only student who can control the robot. This helps other students from shouting out commands.

Detailed Explanation:

1. After teaching a bunch of movement actions (left, right, jump, sit down, open the window, touch your nose), tell the students you are a robot and the soft dice is a remote control. Give it to a student and allow them to shout a command. To enhance the effect, I make a robot sound and move accordingly.
2. After he says his command he then gives the remote to someone else.
3. After a few turns, ask a student to be the robot. Its very simple, and the students love this game.

Variations:

• You can split up bigger classes and have blindfold the 'robot' and have them try to accomplish various tasks, like moving around obstacles in order to pick up a box and bring it back to their group's 'task done' area. 

Teaching Suggestions:

• This activity works great with the lower grades.
• Keep in mind the grade you are teaching and adjust the words/commands accordingly.
• This activity works in well after using the Genki English's Left & Right song.

1. 一連の動きを教える。 - left, right, jump, sit down, open the window, touch your nose など。その後、ALTがロボットで、柔らかいサイコロがコントローラーであることを話す。コントローラーを生徒に渡し、命令を出させる。効果的に演出するために私は音を出して指示どおりに動くようにした。
2. 一人が命令を出したら、次にだれかほかの人にコントローラーを渡す。
3. 何回かしたら、生徒たちにロボットになるように話す。とても簡単で、生徒たちはこのゲームが大好き。

バリエーション：

• このゲームは特に低学年で効果的です。
• ALTが教えている学年を考慮して、言葉や命令をその学年に応じて調整します。
• このゲームは Genki English's Left & Right ソングの後で行うとより効果的です。
