How to play
After introducing the concept of inside and outside divide the class into girls and boys and have a quiz. Write two boxes on the board to tally points, one for boys and one for girls. Use object flash cards from this month and also get some you have used in the past (not future!) topics that clearly belong outside and inside. Quickly reveal the cards so both teams can clearly see. Award a point to the first team to call out the correct answer, that is, "inside" or "outside", first and / or most clearly. When you have gone through all the cards celebrate with the victors and console the vanquished.

How to play
Get a large children's puzzle at the 100 yen store or toy store. Show the puzzle to the children and take out two or more pieces of the puzzle and give them to some students. Children then race to see who can put the proper piece in its right place first.

How to play
Have the students sit in a circle and review all the cards. If you have a keen class you can extend the vocabulary, for example, "kiss the doll" and "make the puzzle" etc. Shuffle the cards and have the students shout, "Stop!" Reveal the card and as a group mimic the action or a gesture associated with the card. When you stop at the ball card everybody stands up and yells, "Kick the ball!" At this point toss a soft ball into the circle and let the students try to kick it around. It works best if the children hold hands
