can show particular cards to students and students practice
reading the hiragana words or check their knowledge of
the meanings. |

Students
in groups can use the cards to play snap.
The cards are spread out on the floor, and the teacher
calls out a word or a meaning. If a student recognizes
the word, he/she puts their hand on the card that has
been called, and if they read it correctly, they take
the card. The student who collects the most cards is the
winner. |

can show cards to students and ask them to transform the
words into a particular form. For example, they might
show verb cards in the MASU-form (eg. たべます
) and ask students to transform them into the dictionary
(plain) form (eg. たべる
), they might show the dictionary (plain) form (eg.
たべる )
and ask them to change the TE-form (eg. たべて).
Similarly, students could transform adjectival forms. |

TE-form
cards of strong verbs can be photocopied in different

Each student
is given a card and makes up a sentence using the word on the
