Kamoku karuta
Cut up the karuta cards. Divide the class into pairs. Give each group a set of subject karuta cards. Tt yells out Japanese words and the Ss slap the corresponding picture karuta. The Ss in the pair that slaps the quickest gets to keep the card. The winner is the person with the most karuta at the end. EXTRA: To make this game more exciting when there are only a few cards left get Ss to put their hands on thier heads, on their hips etc. (This activity can get noisy so count back in Japanese 3, 2, 1 then say the word. Students are usually quiet by the time you reach 1 because they want to know what the next word is.)
