Game
- The winner gives one flashcard to each student.
- Each student holds one flashcard in front of them, so that all the other students in the circle can see it.
- The student to the left of the Janken winner goes first and must say, “I have a _____.” Or “I have two ____.”
- If the student forgets to add “S”, all the students must say “Sssssssssssssssssssss” as loudly as they can.
- Then, it is the next student’s turn.
- Once everyone has had a turn, the winner gives the flashcards to another student to shuffle and deal out.
