Suggestions and Advice: 
If students seem to have difficulties with the names of the fruits/sports/animals or the key 
sentences during the game, ALT and JTE to practice with the students again before proceeding to 
continue with the game.

GESTURE FEELING RACE
 
Submitted by Talia Nagatoshi ( Fukuoka Prefectural BOE) 
Target Group
: 5th year
Difficulty Level
: Fundamentals 
Activity Objective: 
To practice recognizing and saying different feelings 
Procedure: 
Break the class into three groups. One teacher per group. Have the students line up. The first 
student must come up to the front and face the second student. The teacher then shows the first 
student one of the feeling cards (happy). The first student does the appropriate gesture without 
talking. The teacher then asks the second student "How are you?" The second student must answer 
what the first student gestured ("I'm happy."). When the student answers correctly, the first student 
goes to the back of the line. Everyone moves up a space. The second student becomes the gesturer 
and the third students answers the "How are you?"question. The teacher should use a different card 
each time unless the group has gone through the entire pile. To make the game more interesting 
add a time limit to the game (two minutes). At the end of the time limit have the groups sit down 
and count together how many feelings they got right.
