Japanese : Hiragana Matching Cards. もじあわせカード

Here is a set of 36 colourful cards for students to match up. The left side card has half of the word, the right side card has the pother half. The picture is on both cards, cut down the middle (see the preview if this is unclear).
Simple Hiragana words, minimal use of tenten.

To use the cards
1. Print them in colour
2. Cut around the edges and in half
3. Laminate (do this after cutting so that you get a sealed edge around each card)
4. Students then match the cards, say the word. For extension, students can be making sentences using the words on the cards.

Small group work or individual work....the possibilities are many.
Enjoy!
