Brief Outline: Students pass around pictures of sushi with music playing. Whoever is holding sushi when the music stops has to write a sentence.
Materials Needed:
Detailed Explanation:
- All of the students form a large circle and start passing around the sushi cards when the music starts. When the music is stopped, the students holding the cards must come to the blackboard and write a sentence using a word with the first letter of the sushi name. For example, "kanpachi" starts with a "k" so a word like "key" is acceptable.
- This activity can used for various grammar points as well. For example, if the grammar point was "How many...?" They have to make a sentence using that point.
Variations:
- Small groups like lunch groups work great for classes with little space to move the desks around.
Teaching Suggestions:
- I used the song, スシ食いねェ！by シブがき隊, it's from 1986! (≧∇≦)
- Make an audio CD with the song you choose. A computer's volume is not enough.
Tips/Cautions:
- The classrom can become noisy. Don't let the stuents throw the cards as they should be lamented and tell them to hand them gently to prevent paper cuts.
Comments:
- The worksheet is blocked on my school's computer, I'll download it at home.

- (Mar 5, 2011) - said: I recommend downloading the song through Youtube with Youtube Downloader than extract the MP3 with a program like Video MP3 Extractor.
- (Feb 3, 2011) englipedia said: Seriously, at least put some type of name so I can speak directly to you when responding. To Mr. NoName, I didn't include the mp3 because I couldn't open the file. And, the submission didn't include an email so I couldn't ask the submitter about it.
- (Jan 24, 2011) - said: For example, if it's a sushi starting with "k," a word with "k" can appear anywhere in the sentence.
- (Jan 24, 2011) - said: Sorry the MP3 could not be included, it must be for copyright reasons.
- (Jan 24, 2011) - said: The aim of the game is to review vocabulary with or without grammar points.
