Plenary (5 minutes)
Write a random selection of 2 digit numbers on the board. Have two children come to the front and give each of them a pointing stick (a ruler works well). Give the children 30 seconds or so to study where the numbers are on the board.
Read out a number in Japanese. The first child to point out the correct number is the winner and can remain standing. Another child then takes the place of the loser and the game continues. Vary the game by asking children to halve and double numbers, such as, “What is double nijuni?”
Which class member can remain at the front the longest?!
Another Option!
Write a number between 1 – 100 on a mini whiteboard or sheet of paper,
but don’t show it to anybody else. Then say the number in Japanese and
the rest of the class write down the number they have heard onto their own
whiteboards. The children then display their whiteboards and you/ the
Japanese teacher, confirm if they are correct or not. A pupil could then
come to the front and repeat the activity, taking on the role of the teacher
and choosing their own number/s. Are other children able to correctly
identify the number which has been chosen? Correct any pronunciation
errors.
