This game is WONDERFUL!!!! After listening to the show I tried it with the first year elementary kids I teach and it went wonderful! They love all card games, but this is so simple that everyone was trying really hard. Everyone did get so into the game, but were using a lot of Japanese expressions.
Since it worked well with the kids I took it to my adult lesson and tried it there. It worked wonderful there too.
So, I took it to the Japanese junior high I teach at. I used it in all three grade levels this week.
The first round took a little extra work to get the students playing. The JET and I had to go around and just verify that the students were taking all the cards as points, and not giving their point cards away when they lost. But after a round where everyone used just one word, we moved into the lesson and then played the game again later in the lesson. This is what we did:
For the first year students we practiced “She likes/wants/plays _____” Second year students we practiced, “You have something to ___________.” and with the third year students I was able to get them to enjoy a full class. I wanted to use this only as a warm up in the class, but for the first time this class was trying so we just changed the rules and did it again.
I’ve been struggling with the third year students all year, but this game got everyone talking and enjoying themselves. That actually goes for all the grade levels, everyone was talking. The students who usually don’t say a word tried and in a few cases won!

Lance - Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback. That’s great that it worked out for you. I have never had this game fail and nobody sighs when I pop it out.
Just like you said, it gets people talking active and did I mention talking?
This is one of my ace-in-the-hole games, but I have a few more original games that you might be interested in at www.mes-english.com/games/gamestoplay.php
Happy teaching,
