in groups use the worksheet to ask
each other questions like: にぎやかでひろくてみせがたくさんあるところはどこですか
and the other group members try to work out which place
is being described. |

to give a talk about the places on the map or other
places in Tokyo, using linked descriptions. |

Students describe their own town/suburb or other places
such as their school. |

such as members of your family and friends. A version
of 'Celebrity Heads' can be played where the audience
gives descriptions to help the 'celebrities' guess who
they are. |

A version of 'Mother Went Shopping'
can be played, where students in groups start
with a simple description of a place or person and take
turns to add to the description and make the sentence
