opposite words

Would you like to try a quiz on opposites? Opposites are words that have opposite meanings.
For example, “thick” and “thin,” or “big” and “small.” Let’s use illustrations of various colors and shapes as hints while we think of the answers.
Not only is it fun to respond, but it can also help boost motivation for language learning.
You can use videos available on YouTube, or it’s also recommended to work with illustrations or cards.
Speaking of ○○, it’s games.

Let’s all have fun together with the “When you think of ___” game that only needs paper and pens! When a prompt is given, everyone writes their answer on paper without looking at anyone else’s, then reveals them all at once.
If everyone’s answers match, you succeed! For example, if the prompt is “When you think of onigiri fillings, what comes to mind?” what would you think of? Salmon, kombu, bonito flakes, tuna mayo… there are lots of possibilities, right? The goal is to see how much everyone can match their answers.
You write down what comes to mind, but it’s also important to try to match with others by thinking, “What will everyone else write?”

With its cute melody and choreography, the kids will pick it up in no time.
You can dance together with the teacher and play rock-paper-scissors with friends, creating a wonderful time where everyone’s smiles shine.
It seems perfect as an entertainment piece that will make the party unforgettable.
Be sure to include it to help make some lovely memories.
