Draw yourself some Doraemon character cards. e.g.
| Male | Female | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doraemon | Nobita | Gian | Suneo | Dorami | Shizuka | |
Cut into small squares that will fit neatly into the tiny hands of your
students.
Make a big, colorful poster of Doraemon and Dorami and go through the target
language - I use this for teaching the pronouns He and She.
ie: He is Doraemon. She is Dorami.
(An easy chant)
Run through this a few
times and when you are sure that the kids understand, use class mates and JTEs
to reinforce the target language. Calling your male JTE a `she' is always funny.
Then give each student a card, tell them to keep it secret. They then have
to find a partner and Rock, Paper, Scissors. The winner then has to guess what card their partner is concealing. Demonstrate
the conversation with your JTE.
A: He
is Doraemon. or/ Is he Doraemon? or/ That is..../You like.... I want
B: No,
he isn't. She is Dorami-chan.
A: No, she isn't. He is Nobita.
B: Yes, he
is.
The child who guesses correctly gets a point.
These cards are really popular and the little kid love playing with them and the most but the bigger kids like them too. Keep a set in your drawer for emergencies, it even works at Junior High. They can be used to teach a variety of things, for example; Is he Doraemon? That is Doraemon. You like Doraemon. I want Doraemon. Give me Doraemon, please. Do you have...?
This can also be played in small groups if you have a lot of cards, similar
to `Go fish', where students have to make pairs with their cards.
Good luck!
