Red Shingo, Green Shingo  
Submitted by: Joyce P. Le     Date added: 08-28-07
Outline: Shingo means stoplight in Japanese.  This game is similiar to the Japanese's red light/ green light game. The ultimate goal is to touch the person who is giving the instructions by following the instructions and approaching the person ("it") without being caught moving.
 
Procedure:
  1. Teach the grammar points or vocabulary.
  2. Mark the front of the classroom as the goal line and the back of the classroom as the baseline.  The students would stand behind the baseline and the "it" (aka "oni") would be at the goal line facing away from the students.
  3. The ALT assists the student who is "oni" and the HRT is the policeman. The policeman busts students who break the rules by sending them back to the baseline.  For example, if students move when they are suppose to stop, then they have to go back to the baseline and start over.
  4. The ALT should start the game by being the "oni" so students will understand how to play the game.  The "oni" will face away from the students and give out instructions.  As soon as the "oni" shouts out “green light” or "go," students will follow the instructions and move forward.  Give students a few seconds to run, then the "oni" will turn around and shout, “red light” or "stop."  The students who move will have to start again from the baseline.
  5. Teachers and the "oni" will make sure students are not moving before the "oni" gives another direction. 
    If anyone touches the "oni" and shouts, "TOUCH," everyone will run back to the baseline.  However, when the "oni" says, "STOP" or "RED," then no one can move.  The students who have already ran back to the baseline are safe.
  6. The ALT will say an action verb + a number and the "oni" will decide who will be the next "oni" doing the actions and then touch the "oni" by his/ her choice.   For example, ALT says "JUMP 5," then the "oni" has to jump 5 steps and touch the nearest student.  This student will become the next "oni."

 

Variations:

  • Instead of colors, try using verbs – go, stop, walk, run, hop, swim, skip, etc. Whatever verb the oni calls out, the students must do the verb while making their way towards the oni. ‘Stop’ becomes the equivalent to ‘red light'.

 

Cautions:

  • Some students may get really excited and hit each other really hard when they are touching the "oni."  Remind students to be friendly.

概要: このゲームは日本の“だるまさんがころんだ”というゲームと同じです。生徒の最終目的は“鬼”を触るようにALTの指示を聞き、教室を横切って走って競争します。
 
手順:
  1. 生徒に文法または単語を教える。
  2. 教室の前にゴールラインと教室の後ろに基線を描く。生徒は基線の所に立ちと鬼はゴールラインの所に立つ。
  3. HRTは警官になって、規則を破る生徒が基線に戻させる。例えば、止まる時にまだ動いている生徒が基線に戻りさせる。
  4. 生徒がゲームのやり方が分かるようにALTは最初に鬼になるべきだ。鬼は壁に向かって見ると指示を出す。鬼は「青」または「行く」を言う次第、生徒は動作をやって、鬼に向かって進む。数秒後で、鬼は「止まる」または「赤い」 を言う。そして、後ろを向いて見る時に生徒が動けないわけだ。もし、生徒は動いたら基線に戻らなくてはいけない。
  5. 先生と鬼は生徒が動かないことを確認した後で、鬼はもう一度壁に向かって次の指示を出す。
  6. 誰か鬼を触って「TOUCH] を呼んだら、全員が基線に逃げる。でも、鬼が「止まる」または「赤い] を言うと、全員は動けません。基線に戻れる生徒は安全です。
  7. そして、ALTが動詞と番号が一つを言うと鬼は次の鬼を決めて触ります。例えば、ALTは「Jump 5」と言ったら鬼が5歩に飛ぶと一番な近く生徒を触ります。その生徒は次の鬼になると言えます。

変形:

  • 単語で青・赤信号以外に動詞を使ってもいいです。例えばgoや stopや walkやrunや hopやswimなど。

 

注意すること:

  • 鬼が他の人に優しく触ると強調しましょう。
