●Packed with Ideas for Online Classes In addition to face-to-face classes, online classes are becoming increasingly popular in Japanese language education. "In face-to-face classes, we used activities like picture cards and games, but what should we do online?" "My classes have become all about showing slides..." "I have ideas, but what tools should I use to make them a reality?" The author has compiled 90 activities in one book to answer the various questions she receives. Using numerous illustrations, photos, and tables, the book clearly explains everything from preparation to procedures and important points.

■50 Activities by Sentence Pattern This book introduces 50 activities, including "Japanese Greetings," "Whose Is It?", "Three-Hint Quiz," "Matching Cards," "Who's the Culprit?", "Introduction to Annual Events," and "Let's Give Directions." The activities are structured to gradually increase in difficulty from beginner to intermediate level, so please use them according to your learners' level.

■30 Quick Game Activities This book includes activities that can be completed in as little as 5 or 10 minutes, such as "Adjective Word Search," "How Many Seconds Can You Say?", "Which One is the Odd One?", and "Online Karuta." These activities are perfect for when class ends earlier than expected.
