This can be used as a warm up or a short review game! The answer key is included as a PDF.
Materials
Whiteboards
OR
Laminated Paper with A printed on one side and B on the other, then another page with C on one side and D on the other. Make enough copies for each team. Each team should receive one set (A/B sheet C/D sheet).
Directions:
The PowerPoint is split into two sections: Greeting Practice and the Quiz Game.
Greeting Practice:
Practice the names and greetings of each country with the students. When you get to AUSTRALIA, you can click the yellow RETURN symbol to go back to the beginning and practice again. When you're ready to start the quiz, press the SPACEBAR on the AUSTRALIA slide.
Quiz Game
The quiz game is multiple choice and is split into 3 rounds:
Round 1 - Students match the greeting provided by the ALT/HRT with its country.
Round 2 - Match the greeting + character provided by the ALT/HRT with the country.
Final Round - (Volunteer based) Students introduce themselves based on the character and country shown on the slide.
Please refer to the Answer Key for the answer to each question.
Put students into groups of 4-5 then pass out the whiteboards/ laminated paper. Have them choose who goes first using janken. Ask the question, give teams 5-10 seconds to discuss, then have them show their answer. After the first person answers, the whiteboard/paper should be passed clockwise to the next teammate.
Notes
This activity was done with a medium-sized class (about 24 students).
When I did this activity, I used laminated paper. I handwrote ABCD on plain copy paper, made double-sided copies, then laminated them all. They're very useful in other activities, too!
I didn't give points for correct answers, it was purely for review, but it can be used as a points game.
You might want to fix the Australian flag. The one in the ppt is... not quite right
That is not the Australian flag. Looks like a variant of the Scotish flag, I think.
When I open the powerpoint I see the Australian flag so I am confused about these comments but maybe it depends on the program you are opening it with?
@dandytree @Gaijingaiden
I double checked the flag that I used and it's definitely the Australian flag. And since another user said they also didn't find any problems, I think that the image file may have gotten corrupted when you downloaded it and made it look strange, so I've replaced them with a new one! Hopefully, this fixes things.
It seems to be fixed now! Before it was a blue flag with the Scottish flag/ a white X in the left corner, haha (ᵔ́∀ᵔ̀)
Thanks for this! Looks great will be using this week.
This is very creative and interesting. With the round 2 questions, how do they choose the characters? Do they listen to an audio or do they guess the origin of the character?
@Priscilla
It's all in the Answer Key PDF file!
You give them the sentence (ex. "Guten tag, I'm Anpanman.") and they choose the answer based on the greeting and character they heard.
