Brief Outline:  Students aim to practice the parts of a self-introduction so that they understand it is as separate entities.

Materials Needed:

Preparation Needed:

• Print out worksheets
• Split up the decks of cards

Detailed Explanation:

1. CARD GAME
   • Students make pairs. Each pair gets a suit from a deck of cards and lays them out on the desk in front of them.
   • Give a rule sheet to each pair.
     • Ace - あなたの名前は何ですか。 (What’s your name?)
     • King - 何歳ですか。 (How old are you?)
     • Queen - 好きな物は何ですか。 (What do you like?)
     • Jack - 好きな物は何ですか。　理由を教えてください。(What do you like and why?)
     • Ten - 嫌いな物は何ですか。 (What don’t you like?)
     • Nine - 嫌いな物は何ですか。　理由を教えてください。 (What don’t you like and why?)
     • Eight - することは何ですか。 (What do you like doing?)
     • Seven - 好きな物は何ですか。　理由を教えてください。 (What do you like and why?)
     • Six - 嫌いな物は何ですか。　理由を教えてください。 (What don’t you like and why?)
     • Five - あなたの名前は何ですか。 (What’s your name?)
     • Four - 何歳ですか。 (How old are you?)
     • Three - することは何ですか？理由を教えてください。 (What do you like doing and why?)
     • Two - することは何ですか？理由を教えてください。(What don’t you like doing and why?)
   • Students play Janken to decide who will turn over a card. The loser has to turn over a card and say the appropriate sentence.
   • If a student loses 3 times in a row, they have to do a batsu (punishment) game.
   • After a card is turned over, they put it to the side.
   • Continue until all the cards are turned over. Shuffle and repeat one more time.
2. DIALOGUE
• Students have to write a self-introduction of themselves using the example as help.
