| PREPARATION |
| 1.
|
Using
Picture Sheet (A), make sets of three
dice, each set comprising (1) means of
transport dice, (2) dice,
(3) time expressions dice. (The
activity has been planned for past time expressions,
but future time expressions are also given as a variation.)
|
| 2. |
Cut
out sets of bingo cards from Bingo Sheet
(B). |
|
| |
| PROCEDURE
|
Students
from groups of 4, and each member is given a different
bingo sheet. Each group is given a set of three dice:
(1) means of transport, (2)
destinations, (3) past time
expressions. Group members take turns in playing.
(This can be decided by じゃんけん
- stone,
scissors, paper)
The first player throws three dice at once, and from
the pictures and words that come up makes a sentence,
which he/she says out loud.
The other members of the group listen to the sentence
and cross out the words on their bingo card if they
appeared.
The teacher sets a time limit, and the winner in each
group is the one who has crossed out the greatest
number of items in the given time. |
|
| |
| VARIATION |
| (1) |
The
verb （いきました）
on the bingo cards is in the past tense to correspond
to the past time expressions dice. The bingo cards would
need to be changed to accommodate future time expressions.
|
| (2) |
Filled in bingo cards have been supplied. However, students
could fill in their own bingo cards with appropriate
words from the three categories: time expressions,
means of transport, destination. |
| (3) |
Rules can be changed as teachers or students like. For
example, all group members including the player can
cross out the words on their bingo card, or only the
player can cross out. |
| (4) |
Depending on what patterns students are learning, the
number of dice i.e. the number of items can be reduced,
and more simple patterns can be practiced eg.
やまへいきました。.
|
| (5) |
Time expressions, means of transport and destination
are not the only possible categories. For example, patterns
with time expressions, activities and places like
きのうこうえんでピクニックをしました。could
be practiced. You will of course need to change the
items on the dice and on the bingo card. |
| (6) |
If students are learning kanji, words in kanji can also
be used for items on the dice. |
