| Preparation |
Each
group prepares coloured paper squares attached to
Blu-Tack for use as markers of items taken. |
|
| |
| Procedure
|
| This
is a variation of the 3 Hint Game. Students are divided
into teams of 6. Team members take turns to play against
players from the other groups. The teacher gives 3 hints
about an item, and players guess which item it is, indicating
they want to answer by putting up their hand. Alternatively,
they can hold up a flag, ring a bell or press a buzzer.
Players may be helped by their teammates. If a player
gives a wrong answer, their team misses a turn. The
team,or teams who gave the correct answer mark the square
by sticking their coloured paper marker on the picture
on the game sheet. The first team to mark a certain
number of squares, eg. 10 squares on the game sheet
wins. (The number determines how long the game will
take.) |

| Hints |
| Suggestions
for hints relating to the various
items are given below. The hints are in this order
so that students cannot easily guess what item it is
from the first hint, but need to listen further. The
teacher may need to introduce some new vocabulary to
help students understand the hints. It is an advantage
if students have had some experience of the specifically
Japanese items. The Cultural
Notes can be used to give students further information.
For
beginner learners, one word hints or hints in English
can be used. |

| |
| Variation
for advanced learners |
| Instead
of saying the answer, players write their guess on a
sheet of paper and hold it up. In this case there can
be more than one team who gives the correct answer,
and hence there can be more than one marker on a square.
(Team members can check the writing cooperatively, and
take turns to do the writing.) The teacher may put a
time limit on this process. |
