| PREPARATION |
| This
is the Japanese version of ‘FAMILY FEUD’, a quiz game
based on a survey of 100 people, in which 2 teams compete.
The team players are given questions and must guess
the most likely answers of the people surveyed. If an
answer is guessed correctly, the score received is the
number of the people who gave that answer in the survey.
(As we did not have access to 100 people, we have come
up with likely answers based on educated guesswork,
and teachers can do the same. Better still, you could
survey the students at your school and use real data!)
Write questions and answers (as in Example Question
Card) onto an A3 sized cardboard, then fold the piece
of cardboard lengthwise so you can show the question
and hide answers.

| PRROCEDURE
|
| Whole
class
To conduct the game you need a quiz master and 2 helpers,
one to hold up the question card and call out the scores
of the correct answers and one to write up the scores on
the board. Make 2 or more teams of around 5 students based
on the number of students in the class. The quiz master
calls out the question which the helper holds up. Each group
discusses the question, and the first group leader to put
up his/her hand gives an answer. If it is acceptable, that
group gets the score for that question and another group
takes a turn to answer. This continues until all 5 answers
have been guessed, and the quiz master asks the next question. |

| VARIATIONS
|
| 1.
|
Instead
of holding up the question card, the card with the question
and answers can be stuck on the board/wall. (as in Example
Question Card). At first the answers are covered
with strips of paper stuck over them, and as they are
guessed the strips of paper are taken off, exposing
them to view. |
| 2. |
The
OHT can be used to show questions and answers. Make
transparencies with questions such as those on Question
& Answer Sheets 1 &2 and cover up the answers
with strips of paper. (Question and Answer
Sheet 1 questions are senior level, and Question
and Answer Sheet 2 questions can be used with junior
level students) The teacher can move from one question
to the next, exposing the answers as they are correctly
guessed. |
| 3. |
After
the first question, the team which guesses the answer
correctly has another turn. That team continues to answer
until they make a wrong guess, and another team gets
a turn to answer. |
| 4. |
A
number of answers can be obtained from the competing
groups first. Then all the answers can be shown at the
end, and scores worked out. |
| 5. |
Base
the game on a ‘survey’ of 100 Japanese people, with
questions about Japanese habits and pastimes, and thereby
reinforce sociocultural knowledge. |
