Hina Matsuri Mingle
Give each Ss a Hina Matsuri mingle card. The Ss reads their mingle card. Ss then mingle and discuss what is on their card. Ss can mingle for about 5 to 10 minutes. Warn the students they will have to answer a quiz at the end so they need to remember as much information as possible. Once the time is up get the Ss to sit back down. Give them the Hina Matsuri quiz. Allocate a prize for the Ss who answers the most questions correctly.
