Activities in class
Give each student a blank piece of paper (or write in their notes). Explain that you are going to describe a scene and the students should draw what the teacher is describing. Ie. つくえがあります。Tsukue ga arimasu.つくえのうえにパソコンがあります。Tsuku no ue ni pasokon ga arimasu. etc. When finished students compare their drawings. Then the students can show the teacher the picture, OR the students repeat what was described back to the teacher and the teacher can draw it on the board OR show a picture of what was described and students compare their picture with the actual picture and write sentences for all the mistakes made.

Games in class
Prepositions "Handball Directions"
Introduce direction vocabulary (ue, hidari, shita etc.)by getting Ss to tell the Tt where to pin up direction signs on the whiteboard. Divide the class into two teams. Get each team to stand or sit on either side of the room. Create a line on the floor in front of the whiteboad. Get one student from each team to stand behind the line. Tt says a direction word in Japanese. Both students then bounce a ball on the floor, and then tries to get the ball to touch the corresponding direction sign.The student that first hits the sign gets a point for their team. Another student from each team comes to the line. Tt says another direction word and continues the game as described. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
