| |
|
| PROCEDURE
|
| Whole
Class |
The
teacher explains that he/she has hidden the above objects
somewhere in the classroom. Students learn or review
the words if necessary. Every student is given a copy
Sheet (A).
Students write the objects mentioned in the Item column
of Sheet (A).
Students then try to guess where each object is by asking
yes/no questions like:
えんぴつはつくえのしたですか／にありますか.
The
teacher answers the students' question with はい
or
いいえ.
If the student guesses right, he/she gets a point.
The teacher or student records the point. When each
object is found, the student confirms the location by
writing a statement about it in the Location column
of Sheet (A).
The activity continues until every thing is found, and
the student with the most points wins. |

| VARIATIONS |

Using
the objects above, TRUE OR FALSE can be played.

before the students come in. The objects are hidden
according to the statements on Sheet (B),
except for three items, which are hidden elsewhere.
|

PROCEDURE
Pair
work
Pairs of students are given a copy of Sheet
(B), and look over the statements on the sheet.
The teacher tells the students there are three false
statements.
The pairs of students move around the classroom with
their sheet and try to find out which are the seven
true statements and which are the three false statements.
Each pair writes their findings on the sheet.
The first pair to correctly complete their sheet is
the winner. |

and the pair with the most complete sheet wins.
