5-20 minutes depending on how many cards are used Groups of 2-4 Review vocabulary words/grammar structures by slapping flashcards
- Use one flash card for each person in the group
- 2 for pairs, 3 for groups of three, and 4 for groups of four
- You can use alphabet letters for younger children and more advanced grammar structures, such as past tense, 10-word sentences, etc. for students of a higher level
- Get into groups of two and give each group a set of flashcards
- Place two flashcards on the table or floor and label them 1 and 2
- Explain to students that they will shoot rock-paper-scissors (ie Janken in Japanese)
- Have students shoot 1 or zero fingers instead of rock, paper, and scissors
- Students add up the thumbs and try to slap the flashcard with that number
- Flashcard #1 for one thumb, #2 for two thumbs, and so on
- Do it again if everyone shoots fists
- Whoever slaps the correct card first gets a point if they say the word or sentence on the card out loud
