ANIME COSTUMES
 
Submitted by Bradley Bryant (Kumamoto City BOE) 
Target Group
: 5th year
Difficulty Level
: Fundamentals 
Activity Objective: 
To become familiar with colours and the names of clothes; practicing description in English 
Procedure: 
Review colours and clothing. Draw 4-6 stick figures on the board (depending on the number of 
teams). Split class into teams. Each team chooses two students. One student from each team will 
draw on the blackboard; the other student will explain what to draw. Before you begin a round, 
take the explainers into the hallway and show them a picture of an anime character with an easily 
describable costume. Review each of the identifiable pieces of clothing. Once they understand all of 
the pieces of the costume, return in the classroom. Have a countdown, and let the explainers 
describe the clothing to the drawers using ENGLISH ONLY. Sitting students may raise their hand 
and guess the anime character. After the character has been identified, give 30 seconds for the 
students to finish describing and drawing. Award points to the teams that guessed first and with the 
best drawing. Play again until every kid has had one or two turns.
