Go Karuta

Description

Students make groups and get a set of flashcards. They shuffle the cards, and place them face up in the middle of their group. The teacher calls out vocabulary that matches the flashcards randomly. The students repeat the teacher. The teacher says ‘go!’ at random. When they hear this, the students try and take the card that matches the vocabulary that was last called out.

Notes

  • For younger students, it’s best to have them put their hands on their heads while they’re listening, to prevent cheating.
  • If a student makes a mistake, it’s best not to have a penalty so they don’t lose motivation.
  • It’s best to introduce this game after the students are familiar with the regular version of the game.
