Toys
First things first!
Take inventory of the materials you already have!
YOU HAVE FREE TIME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS!!!
Use it wisely…
Alphabetize your cards
Make a catalogue of available materials (esp. multiple
schools)
If you have set lesson plans, check to see if you have the
materials necessary of each lesson
If not…
Make your own materials!
Card program
Make your own materials!
Your imagination is the limit!
Cards are probably the most commonly used teaching material, but
you can make different materials… such as…
SANTA FUKUWARAI サンタ福笑い
(Japanese
“Pin the Tail on the Donkey”)
Make your own materials!
English Boards are great for creativity as well!
Caution: Ask JTE before spending more than a few
hundred yen on English Board, teaching materials, etc.
Purchasing Materials
You have the option of
purchasing materials
(games like this Surprise
Gorilla); however, ask
ahead of time—some
schools may reimburse
you!
Create to your heart’s content!
Especially if you have ample amounts of free time,
explore your school’s craft materials
BW and Color Printers
Laminators
Image enlarger
Markers
Paint
Glue
Construction paper
If you are not an Arts & Crafts kind of person, get
creative on the computer (esp. images of famous
people are popular)
General Tips
Be prepared!
Write out a lesson plan for yourself
Make a checklist of materials you need for each class
Be flexible!
Last minute changes are often necessary
The same activity may not work for every class
Be energetic!
Lead by example, students will follow
Try to have fun and let the students have fun
