5th Grade : Alphabet Chain Game
After finishing `What's this?`, 5th grade students have started studying Hi,friends!1 Lesson 6 `What do you want?`.
For the greeting game this time we practiced the question `How many?`.
"Hello, Ms. Yayoi! How are you?"
"I'm a little tired. How are you?"
"I'm good, thank you. How many As on your t-shirt?"
After the teachers' demonstration everyone walked around the room freely and asked each other.
"How many pink hearts?"
"How many Es?"
"4!"
Next we practiced answering the question "What do you want?". The teachers pointed to a card on the board and everyone answered "The B card, please".
We made it more interesting by Ms. Emily closing her eyes and listening for the answer. If she picked the right card to give everyone then the pronunciation was right. We used this to practice similar letters like B/V, M/N, and G/Z.
After that the students played the chain game. They got into groups of 4 or 5 and played janken to decide their order.
Students asked together "What do you want?" to each student.
The students had to say what alphabet card they wanted as well as the cards for the students before them. Student 4 had to say their own card as well as those for student 1, student 2 and student 3.
If the students couldn't remember what previous people had said, their friends gave them hints using gestures.
She is making the letter `C` with her arms. Good job!
For the last activity we played the snakes and ladders boardgame.
The teachers and some students gave a demonstration to everyone.
Using the boardgame everyone can practice asking "What do you want?" many times together which builds their confidence.
Nice gestures!
Good job everyone!
