Here is a little game for your Asian study middle school students. You can use at the end of the unit lesson. They will love the little competition with chop sticks.

Materials:

100 dry beans (any two different sizes) - Students will be glad to bring them if you ask.
4 paper plates
2 pairs of chop stick - you can use Chinese take out ones
Some kind of prize - you can go to the 99 cents store for them

Instruction:

1. Divide students into two groups.
2. Each group presents a player in front of the two plates. One filled with 30-40 beans.
3. The players pick up each bean with chop sticks to shift beans to the empty plate.
4. Who ever finishes first wins.
5. Go on to the play off.

Students not only learn how to use chop sticks but they will have a ball.
Have fun!![Edit by="spadilla on Jul 6, 7:08:57 PM"][/Edit]
