Neko Atsume-themed 'find the cat' game.

Ask students "Where is my cat?" Students must suggest a hiding place, e.g. "it's in the box/it's under the bed/it's on the chair". Click a circle to reveal whether the cat is in that location. Click elsewhere/use keyboard to reveal target sentence. We used slide 2 to elicit target language like 'bed' and 'table'.

I played with students volunteering to say a sentence, which we'd drill as a class and check if it was correct. The correct guess would be drilled a couple extra times. Students who guessed correctly won the round and got some applause and praise. After a few rounds, my co teacher and I picked students who hadn't yet volunteered and coached them through a sentence.

By the end of the game, the students seemed more confident in distinguishing between 'in' and 'on', as well as making sentences with the target language. They got pretty excited when the cat was revealed.

Edit: This game can be a little easy, depending on the class. To make it more challenging, you can duplicate some slides, or make a few 'I don't know' slides by deleting the cat.

Materials for Lesson 1

Vocabulary & key expression ppt, plus a drawing game: Give each student a sheet, then read the script with your co-teacher. Students should draw items in the right place. Two rounds should take just over 15 mins. When checking answers, you can get students to say the key expressions for some speaking practice. There's a small review/cooler at the very end of the drawing game ppt-- ask students where the objects in the photos are and drill the answer.
