Outline: Students make paper airplanes and practice hitting targets based upon the target vocabulary. Materials Needed:  Teaching Suggestions: Have the students write their team numbers on the planes to avoid confusion of which team landed on the correct flashcard. You don't have to use airplanes. In the picture to the right, I'm teaching the days of the week and using nerf rocket guns, which I found at the 100 yen shop.
Procedure: - After practicing the new vocabulary, give the students a couple minutes to make paper airplanes. For younger classes, allow the students to test fly their planes.
- Make a semi-circle around the classroom to represent the ‘shooting line’ and place the flashcards on the floor in front of the desks. Placing the flashcard in front of something – wall, desk, trashcan, etc. – will make it easier for the students to land their planes on the cards.
- Split the class into teams and have one member of each team go a starting line located somewhere in the room. Say one of the target vocabulary words and when you say “GO!”, the students must race to the ‘shooting line’, throw their planes and try to land them on the appropriate flashcard. If they land it, they receive a point.
Variations: Make the students first answer a question, and only if they answer correctly can they try to land their planes on the flashcard you call out. For body parts, have one student from each team become a target. You say a body part and their team must try and hit the correct body part.
