Games in class
"What are the rules?" R Hespe
Divide the students into pairs or small groups. Pass out copies of an amoeba shaped playing field bisected horizontally by a wide moat filled with sharks (or draw it on the board and have the students copy it). The moat is too wide to jump over. Explain to the groups that they will create a game with two opposing teams. The teams must score points on the opposite side of the moat. They can only use equipment from existing sports, athletics, or games. They have to create and list the rules of their game using: なければなりません、ないでください、なくてはいけません、だめです etc. Encourage them to be as creative (or silly) as they possible. The groups will present their games to the whole class. One prize will go to the team who uses the most equipment. Another to the team who invents the most rules. And the class will vote on the best game. |  |
Where am I?
Put the names of places onto small pieces of paper ie. としょかん、がっこう、こうえん、びょういん、えいがかん、はくぶつかん、etc. Put the place names into a bag. One student comes to the front of the class and starts explaining things you can or can't do in the place ie. おおきいこえではなしてはいけません。タバコをすうのはだめです。ほんをかりてもいいです。etc. The rest of the class has to guess where the student is according to the rules and regulations he/she says.
