Arrange flash cards on a table or on the floor in the shape of a race track. Insert cards to represent the sun and a black hole. Give each of the children a set of counters and one rocket (or something to represent a rocket) all of the same colour. If there are too many children, they can play in pairs or teams. The all place their rockets on the same flash card to start. The children take turns to throw two dice and move their rockets around the race track. When they land on one of the cards, they have to read, make a sentence or answer a question about the card. When they land on the sun or black hole, they have to answer a question from the teacher or identify a card before they can move again. It is best if these questions or cards target language from previous lessons. If the card they land on (except for the sun or black hole) has no counter on it and if they successfully perform the language task prompted by the card, they place one of their counters on the card. If another child s counter is on the card, the child whose turn it is challenges her for the card. After the challenger answers the question, the two janken to see whose counter will stay. The janken winner places her marker on the card. When a child lands on a card she already controls, she does not have to perform a language task. The winner is the child who controls the most cards after a fixed amount of time or number of turns.
