Chatterbox
The four pictures on the outside represent せんせい、ともだち、かぞく & __さん (students insert any name they like) The numbers represent time (o'clock) and the pictures under the numbers represent verbs たべます、のみます、します、みます、うたいます、あそびます。   Students make sentences such as: かぞく と いちじ に たべます。 OR ともだち は しちじ に あそびます。   Then discuss with students how we could add more to the sentence by inserting the food that would be eaten, or adding other people to the story.
