自己紹介とアイスブレイクゲーム Introductions and Ice Breaker Game - Intermediate Low, Japanese 202 Lab 01
Please Note: Many of the activities on the Pathways Project OER Repository were created by upper-division students at Boise State University and serve as a foundation that our community of practice can build upon and refine. While they are polished, we welcome and encourage collaboration from language instructors to help modify grammar, syntax, and content where needed. Kindly contact pathwaysproject@boisestate.edu with any suggestions and we will update the content in a timely manner. — The Pathways Project
About the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) Language Activity Repository
The activities provided by the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) serve as foundational activities which can be adapted by any language and scaled up or down on the proficiency scale. Many of these activities offer an English Version that is “language-agnostic” to provide language instructors from around the country a platform to remix these instructional materials, infusing them with their target language and culture! The activities within the Pathways Project OER Repository seek to help students solidify their interpersonal speaking and interpretive skills through task-based situations or communicative activities. These activities should be facilitated in the target language for approximately 90% (or more), per the recommendation of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

Warm-up
1. Display the "Google Slides" and begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity.
"こんにちは。今日の Can-Do Statements は。。。"
2. Hand out the whiteboards to the students. They will play the "One Word Answer" game. They will write down a single word answer for each question on the slides. Once you are done going through all the answers, ask the students for more details.
“一言ゲームをします。質問に一言で答えてください。最後にみなさんの答えを見ます。”
“Play a word game. Answer the question in a word. Finally, look at your answer.”
Main Activity
1. "Who Am I?" Students will write something interesting or different about themselves on individual whiteboards. Once they are done, collect the whiteboards from the students. Read what they wrote and the students will try to guess who it is about.
“今からみなさんには自分の変わっているところを書いてもらいます。癖や意外な一面でも何でもいいです。書いたら私にホワイトボードを渡してください。みなさんが書いた答えを読むので、誰のか当ててください。”
“Now, I will ask you to write what I have changed. You can do anything, even one side or a surprise. If you write it, please give me a whiteboard. Please guess. ”
3. Use this model for an example:
1. Weird Habit
1. 爪を噛みます- Biting nails
3. "Finding Common Things." Students will get in pairs and find something in common from the list of questions. Once they find something in common, they will have to find another student to pair up with. For a small class, they could pair up with students they already paired up with (they have to pair up with everyone at least once before this happens). Whoever finds the most common things win.
“ペアになってください。リストの中から共通点を一つ見つけてください。一つ見つけたら新しいペアを組んでください。最後にいちばん共通点を見つけた人が勝ちです。”
“Make a pair. Find one point in the list. If you find one, make a new pair.
