No matter how much the world changes, the ultimate goal of school education is the “creation of individual character”. For many years, Fujieda City has been conducting classes based on the idea of “nurturing people through education”, with a focus on both “learning the subjects” and “learning as people.” Fujieda City’s goal is to create […]

- Discard GameHello, Paul. My kids love this! Thank you so much for this game.
- Tug of WarI played this today for the first time with ESG4. They loved it quite a lot. I changed it to using dice instead of RPS, and, I tried a second variation using two students each rolling a die vs the teacher rolling. It was pretty fun for the students, and in the end, we finished in a draw, which made it even better for the students. I also drew stick figures of a few students pulling a hastily drawn rope vs two hastily drawn stick figures of the teachers. It worked incredibly well, and the students asked to play this again next week. I think if you have a bigger class, starting off with one die per row of students or and one each for the teacher could be a fun way to let all the students have a turn rolling the dice and also help finish up the game quickly. I only have 10 students in that class, so, I can experiment with many different variations easily.
- Lucky GuessI played this as a group game with group points, and it worked pretty well! I only did answer but everyone said the sentence together until the end where the player guessed a word. I did it this way because my students can get pretty competitive over points, and I wanted them to work together.
- Quick CrossfireI like this idea. I'm gonna try it!
- Mt Fuji Climbing GameMy students weren't so interested in the spinning wheel after they played this once. So I tried it with a die. I let them take turns rolling the dice instead. i only have small class sizes this year, so each student got a chance to roll the dice, but in a large class you could do something with the day's leader or something. I did it once where each of my 10 students got a die, and, we alternated choosing the highest roll, then the lowest roll. It works well in a small class.
