Review of the communicative activeities

Good evening!!

Today, I am going to review two of the "typical Japanese junior high school"communicative activities presented in ETM 3. The activities I am going to review are Matching game and Using movement. You can view them here.

☆Matching game☆
In last class, I did this activity. Then, I thought that it takes a bit of time for junior high school students to decide their plans. And the patterns of their plans are too much, so that it 'll take more time for them to find friends who have the same plan.

So, I have an idea. Some kinds of cards are necessary for this game.
Beforehand, teacher has to prepare for cards. these cards are painted some situation's pictures.
Students use these cards, and find friends who have the same card.

This way, teacher can balance the number of cards. In other wards, the rate of students keeps balance. So, I think that they can find friends easily.

☆Using movement☆
In last class, I did this activity too. This activity is interesting for me. And I think that it is wasteful for only pair.

So, I think that we can apply pair work to line work. it is what we call Message game with gesture.
