Aggretsuko English Song Challenge (Google Slides)

Hi all,

I created this game based on the anime Aggretsuko. I’ve played this game with my 二年生 JHS kids and they really enjoyed it but it was difficult and that’s why I limited it to one point for at least three words correctly written. It's not perfect and a work in progress but the kids found it to be exciting and wanted to know the names of the songs after class.

First, introduce the game and storyline of the anime to the students by playing the video on slide 2; for those who don’t know about this anime, this will give you an idea of it too.

Then, proceed to explain the game rules, use the ‘listen carefully’ slide while explaining the rules.

Game Rules
- Divide the class into groups (ideally four members), each group has a white board and a marker.
- Ask students to play janken to decide the writing order but emphasise that this is a group challenge.
- Start by question 1 - I usually play the recording thrice, with ten seconds in between each play and after the third time, I set the timer for 15 seconds.
- Students then reveal their answers.
- If a group gets at least three words correct, they can get a point. If they get the full sentence correct, they can get two points.
Repeat until all the questions are answered.

The questions are labelled from 1-14, click on the questions to go to their respective slide, then click the green arrow to reveal the correct answer and to play the song. Click on the yellow (home button) to return to slide 4 and to move on to the next question.
