Japanese: I Want Fruit! A unit for young learners.

I am very excited to share this REVISED and UPDATED resource with you.

This comprehensive resource guides teachers through the unit with a detailed teaching sequence (suggestion).

Many versatile resources are included:

story, flashcards, mnemonics, playing cards, board game, task cards, peg cards, 'I Have..Who Has? game', student workbook ( updated), assessment tasks and more.

I have now added a video version of the 'story' created from a PowerPoint. It purposely does not included audio to allow for teachers and students to add their own voices as the video plays.

Links to the Australian Curriculum are detailed.

I have received permission from Richard Graham of Genki English fame, to use one of his karaoke sound files in this resource! It is included in the ZIP file.

I have created lyrics to go with the lively music and my young students have greatly enjoyed singing this song and dancing too!
