Below are activity tasksheets and other handouts from previous presentations.
Students personalize several sentences, then crunch them into paper "snowballs". In groups of 8 or so, they have a :30 or :45 second "snowball fight. This serves to redistribute the sentences. Then they pick up the snowballs and use the sentences much like "Find someone who." They ask follow-up WH-questions.
Here are a few variations on "Snowball fight".
• Going to/Will future
• Frequency adverbs
• Gerund/Infinitives (this goes with EFSuccess, Unit 10
Here is the "My name means" tasksheet for having the students write their names in kanji, then explain the meaning or reason they were given that name.
