[[Pictionary|Fruit Pictionary]], Line Janken

==Structure==
===Fruit Pictionary===
#Many students already know the names of many fruit in English. Start by drawing an apple on the board and getting students to call out the name of the fruit. Japanese is OK for this part of the lesson, as they haven't learned the English yet. 
#When a student calls out the right fruit, if it's in Japanese, stop and teach the English, otherwise get the class to repeat the English name. 
#Then call the student who guessed the fruit to the front, and show them a flashcard of another fruit and have the student draw it on the board and repeat the process, until all fruit have been done.

===Line Janken===
#Once the grammar has been taught, the last game involves getting the whole class to stand in a line that makes a big U shape around the classroom. 
#From the start of the line, show the first student a fruit card and ask "What fruit do you like?" The student answers that they like the fruit that is on the card. 
#That student then takes the card, turns to the next student in line and asks the same question. The card continues to be passed down the line in the same fashion. 
#At the same time, introduce a different card to the end of the line and repeat the process. 
#Eventually the two cards will meet somewhere in the middle, and the two card holders janken, the loser's card being removed and the winner's continuing on. They must see which team can push their card the furthest. 
#Wait until the card has passed about 8 to 10 people before another card is introduced, so there is a constant flow of cards and so students aren't waiting around for long periods. You can also introduce color and animal cards later to mix things up a bit more.
