Animal Telepathy

From WikiJET, the interactive website for the JET Programme

Animal Telepathy is a pattern practice speaking activity using comparative sentences for 2nd grade Junior High classes.

[edit] Materials required

• 4 cards per student (one A4 worksheet cut into four)

[edit] Procedure

• Hand out the game cards, 4 for each student:

負け人:	It's bigger than a ○○○.
	It's smaller than a ○○○.

• Have the students choose one animal on each card by making a mark in the brackets.

• Each student must mingle around the room, find a partner and play janken.

• The losing student must give a hint to the winning student using a comparative sentence (eg. "It's smaller than a whale.")

• The winning student then uses that information to guess which animal they have marked on their card (eg. "Is it a cat?"). If they guess correctly they get to take their opponent's card. If they guess incorrectly then their opponent can keep it.

• The students find new partners and the game continues.

• The winning student is the one with the most cards at the end of the game.
