First, make sure they know what the verb "wear" means. It might be new to them.
- Students make pairs.
- The secretly choose one of the people on the sheet.
- They play rock, scissors, paper with their pair. The winner can ask the first question. After that, they alternate asking questions.
- Whoever guesses their partner's character first gets a point.
- I have them play for about 5-7 minutes. They can play as many rounds as they can squeeze into that time frame, and whoever has the most points is the winner.
Note: If you're wondering why all the characters I made are boys, it's because asking a question about gender would automatically cut down the characters by half and make the game too quick.
Note 2: I added the katakana of the English names to cut back on explanation time because I didn't want to have them repeat-after-me for the names.
Note 3: I am super dang proud of the pizza pieces I made. Aren't they cute???

Those pizza slices are downright adorable.
Thank you!!
Thanks for this! It was perfect for my very small special needs class (three boys).
By the way: I let my three students write memos in Japanese to remember/use the clues.
Thank you, Keith! I'm glad it worked well!
The gender question is easily solved if you accommodate for a few different genders on the spectrum. Demiqueer, non-binary, Agender, etc
Or, you could even have a list of pronouns on the cards other than he/she
I'll give it a go!
