  16. 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…

  17. Make your own materials! • Card program

  18. 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”)

  19. 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.

  20. Purchasing Materials • You have the option of purchasing materials (games like this Surprise Gorilla); however, ask ahead of time—some schools may reimburse you!

  21. 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)

  22. 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
