KP playing 'Sensei Says'

Here's a video of KP playing 'Sensei Says' (Simon Says), a fun revision and language practice game. Students need to listen to the body part in Indonesian and touch that part only if 'Sensei Says' is said before the body part. If the teacher does not say 'Sensei Says' before the body part word, students need to keep their hands on the previous body part - moving their hands to any other body part will make them get out.

5S - 'When is your birthday?'

Year 5 are learning about the months in Japanese. The video above is of six students asking and saying when their birth month is by using "Otanjoobi wa nangatsu desu ka?" and "____ gatsu desu".

1S and their 'Body Building'

To the outsider, this video probably looks like chaos, but it's really 'organised chaos'. K-2 have been 'Body Builders', creating somewhat random descriptions of cartoon characters by passing their sheets around to other students to write adjectives in the blanks. You can tell that 1S students are all 'on task' and having a great time! Next lesson, the students will draw their cartoon character as described on their sheets.

Some of the descriptions were:
Dia kepala besar - He has a big head.
Dia telinga panjang - He has long ears.
Dia mata kecil - He has little eyes.
What an imaginative group of students! Aren't their drawings fabulous?!
