View source for Meiwa Lesson 8: Family / Christmas

==Grammar==
"''Who's this? It's my ...''"

==Game== 
Making Christmas cards (or "guess who" game)

==Structure==
*If you teach an Elementary School class once a month, this lesson should end up in December, allowing you to do a Christmas activity if you want. 
*Start by teaching a basic family structure, including mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister, uncle and aunt. 
*Then you can teach them "to" and "from", as well as the sentence "To <Mother>, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From <student>." 
*You can buy A4 sticker paper from Eiden, Joshin or any computer store, and print a collage of Christmas pics found on the net. The students cut out the images and stick them onto a folded B4 card to make their Christmas card. 
*If you want to do this activity but don't want to use Christmas, you can make it a New Year's card, or if it's at a different time of the year, perhaps a friendship card.
*To practice family, you can make a "guess who" game by asking "Who is Kenta's mother's sister's nephew?" The answer is, of course, Kenta. 
*Start with simple, one level questions, then you can build to more difficult ones depending on the class.
