Go Fish (in Japanese)

This is a really fun game to memorize Hiragana (Japanese letters). The rule is same as regular Go fish. Prepare at least 1/2 sets of Hiragana flash cards (25 cards) per 4 students.

1. Work in a group of 4. (make sure to include at least 1 person who knows the rule)

2. Each member gets 5 cards. (Do not show them to others.) The rest of the cards should be piled on your desk.

3. Before starting the game, if you already have matching cards, put them in the pile.

4. A-san asks B-san, “(hiragana) ga arimasuka?” if B-san has it, B-san has to give it to A-san, saying “hai arimasu” Then, A-san puts the matching cards in the pile.

5. If B-san does not have it, say “iie arimasen”, then says “Go fish” to A-san, and A-san gets one card from the pile.

6. The first person who doesn't gave any cards wins!
