Brief Outline: Students play Janken and introduce themselves to their classmates.
Materials Needed:
- CallMeTaku worksheet - 3~5 cards for each student
Detailed Explanation:
- Give each student 3-5 of the cards and ask them to read through the three sentences.
- Check to make sure students understand the meaning of each sentence and have them fill out their own answers.
- For the third sentence, give students some examples: Eating chocolate makes me happy; playing soccer makes me happy; my boyfriend makes me happy etc.
- The ALT/JTE demonstrates how to play:
- Find a partner.
- Each person says their introduction, and they finish by shaking hands and saying, "Nice to meet you."
- Students then janken. I have my students janken in English. The loser gives a card to the winner.
- Find a new partner and repeat!
- The winner is the student with the most cards.
Variations:
- To make this into a longer activity, give out more cards at the beginning of the game, or add in other emotions such as sad, angry, nervous etc.
- For higher level classes, have the students write completely different sentence for each card.
Teaching Suggestions:
- Run through the pronunciation with the class at least once before they play.
- If you have difficulties getting boys and girls to mix, award bonus points for talking to the opposite sex.
- Once students have used up their own cards, they can introduce themselves using cards they have won from other students.
