ASOBI TIME IDEAS
Asobi Time and Playtime are the most unique processes of our course.
It makes your pupils enter the English World and prepare to hear and say English.
However, if your pupils need to improve at switching playtime to Core time, or you have a hard time making them focused, it should be introduced later in the lesson time.
It’s all about the excellent preparation, experiments, and experience that make it work wonderfully in your lesson.
I found it very interesting to introduce the famous Japanese Asobi that almost all kids know.
PlayTime Ideas
⚫︎Hey, Mr Mailman! (郵便屋さん）
⚫︎はないちもんめ
⚫︎Community Drawing
⚫︎Daruma Has Fallen Down!
We switch the word “Fallen down” into the target word, such as
Daruma is jumping! Daruma is touching (its) head! Daruma is sad. etc…
If there’s the kid that didn’t do the movement of the order, he/she will be It.

Highly recommend to introduce. There are tons of phrases that could be introduced.
Students can practice phrases via Youtube videos.
⚫︎Fashion Show
⚫︎Treasure Hunt
Instead of counting while searching, the kid who hid the thing can say ” Where is the (hidden item)?” for (5) times.
If other kids can’t find it, it the time for them to ask ” Where is the (hidden Item)?”
Hot/cold/ warmer, -er also great to introduce both English and culture.(中級）
