The kimono is the national dress of Japan. Traditionally made of silk, it is a beautiful, long dress with wide sleeves.
This resource enables children to design their own kimono using Japanese patterned paper and a collage technique. Children need to cut or tear the patterned papers and then glue them onto the kimono template.Once dry the kimono can be cut out and displayed.
This is a fun and engaging activity that produces individual and creative results.
This resource has been used with children aged 4 -7 but could be suitable for other age groups too.
This resource includes:
A kimono template
10 different Japanese pattern papers
a powerpoint to introduce Japanese to a Yr7 class. Starting with a short ‘what do you already know section?’, saying hello/goodbye & numbers 1 to 5 using a combination of romanji, hiragana é kanji characters.
Japanese Kanji Match – Numbers (Sino-Japanese) and Colors is a versatile vocabulary resource that works as a matching or memory activity. They are well-suited to language centers and group rotations. The cards are compatible with other vocabulary categories, so they can be mixed with other topics as the need arises.
It is recommended that these cards be complimented with spoken Japanese lessons to ensure correct pronunciation.
This resource contains:
71 cards (35 matches and one title card)
Numbers: 0-20, 100, 500, 1000
Colors: blue, black, brown, red, green, pink, grey, purple, orange, white, yellow
PDF and PNG files
Also includes the English version as a bonus extra!
Instructions:
Print, laminate and cut the individual cards.
Mix the vocab and picture cards and have students match the picture with the vocab.
Play the memory game. After mixing, place the cards face down and have students turn over two cards. If the student matches the picture with vocab, the student keeps the set before trying to find another match. If no match is found the next student takes a turn. Continue until all cards have been matched. The student with the most cards at the end is the winner.
Cards are versatile and can be divided into as few or as many sets as required.
Enjoy!

This pack contains a Powerpoint and worksheet which takes you through a simple jikoshoukai step by step. This is intended for beginners. It also contains links to my website with authentic native speaker audio examples (tap / move your mouse to find the enable audio icon), one model and one adaptation of the model to use as a listening with a fill in the gaps exercise. By using red acetate sheets against the worksheets, you can hide the words that need to be changed in the jikoshoukai. This is presneted in romaji but there is a hiragana / kanji version of the text on the final page.
Fans of Japanese culture, anime or manga will love this lesson exploring how to write your non-Japanese name in Japanese. You don’t need to know any Japanese to be able to deliver this, as all the rules and information are laid out on the slides.

A single complete lesson in PowerPoint format that is design for a mixed IB HL/SL class that is doing the Move To Global War as its Paper 1 Prescribed Subject. All electronic resources are linked in the presentation and textbook are listed so you can find them online for purchase. The lesson begins with a playing card poker simulation to teach students about the internal weaknesses in China during the Warlord Years and how this helped feel Japan’s desire to expand. Students are then asked to either do some silent reading or to view a YouTube clip on Japanese expansion in the 1930s. The lesson concludes with a homework assignment tasking students with writing two Paper 1 style 3 mark comprehension questions that are taken from Keely Rogers and Jo Thomas, The Move To Global War, London: Oxford University Press, 2015, p. 34.
I designed this lesson as a one-off lesson for a whole school Multiculturalism day and it went down a treat!
I have included a worksheet which follows on from the Powerpoint. I taught the lesson 4 times in the same day to different classes in Year 9 and they loved it. It lasts the full hour.
I included greetings, numbers 1-10, how to have a brief conversation and one or two cultural things.
It could be used during Form periods, PSHE lessons or for any other special event.
I hope you like it - leave a rating!
OCR Russia 1894-1941 Lesson the Russo-Japanese War
Looking at Causes, Reasons for Defeat and Impact on Nicholas, part of the mini unit of work: Causes of 1905 Revolution.
Ideally you have access to the chapter from “A People’s Tragedy” Orlando Figes Chaper “First Blood” which I cannot include for Copyright reasons but if not, you can still use the worksheet in combination with the slides or the textbook for the students to do Causes, Reasons for defeat and consequences.
This is a short 'toolbox' lesson that teaches students a way to do multiplication that doesn't require a calculator or having multiplication tables memorized. I have taught this strategy to students for years from severe to moderate needs students but also more neuro-typical ones. I hope you enjoy it!
