If the Home Room Teacher can prepare the result of some statistics of the
class, a research game would be interesting. Students research about their
friends abilities using the phrases. Forecast the result and compare it
with the real result. Or the students can pretend to be somebody, it might
be fun.

Beth, are there any tricks you can do? Like juggle, spin a basketball on
your finger, or something? First, you show the students some tricks you
can do. Then you ask them, "Can you do this?", (here is a good
chance to teach them "Maybe" in English!), and get a couple of
volunteers to come up and try it. After showing them a few tricks, get
the class to practise doing them, and then go around the class with the
Home Room Teacher and ask the students "Can you do this?" while
they are practising, they can probably answer "Yes" and "No".
Next teach "Yes I can" and "No I can't". Get some volunteers
to come up and be the teacher. The students (even the shy ones) can probably
think of some crazy things! Lastly hand the class over to the Home Room
Teacher to wrap things up. He/ She can test the students on difficult kanji
"Can you read this?". If you have enough time you can teach the
students some simple English tongue-twisters, using "Can you say this?",
then you can get the students to teach you some Japanese ones. Should be
fun!

An enjoyable game I have played with 5th and 6th graders is "What
am I?"
If you prepare cards with various animals, teach the target vocab.
(You can check out our website for one of the example game cards under the games section www.kushiro.ed.jp/www-aet/ We have only just got the site up and running, but it may be of some
help. )
Next divide the students into groups, they then have to ask questions to find out which animal you are.
Can you fly? Can you eat meat? Can you climb? Can you Swim? etc...
You can also move on to Are you..? Are you big / small/ dangerous / striped?
How many...?
Do you live in....?
Do you have....?

For the Genkier kids, the new "I can do it!" song works great!
