Materials Needed:

• StudentExamples cards: You'll need to adjust the size of the images for your own needs.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Ask for six outgoing student volunteers and bring them to the front of the classroom. Give each one of them a picture card and tell them to act out their picture.
2. Then, ask the class questions about what the six students are doing: What is Student A doing? Is Student B playing a PSP?
3. Finally, have the students who are sitting write in their notebooks about what the students holding the cards are doing.
4. Rotate cards and students so that everyone has a chance to write in their notebooks.

Variations:

• You might attach easy but fake name tags to their chests to make things more interesting: baka, poochi, yasui, etc.
