Tips for Playing 'What's this?' Game in English with Children
このQ&Aのポイント
- Get advice on asking questions when playing the 'What's this?' game in English with children. The game involves showing picture cards and asking 'What's this?' First, for pictures of a single object like a lion, elephant, or apple, asking 'What's this?' is appropriate. But for pictures with multiple objects like ants or cherries, should you ask 'What are these?' or stick with 'What's this?'? And what about pictures of a bunch of grapes? Should you ask 'What's this?' and have the answer be 'a bunch of grapes,' or ask 'What are these?' and have the answer be 'grapes'?
- When playing the 'What's this?' game in English with children, it's important to consider how to ask questions. For pictures of a single object, asking 'What's this?' is suitable. However, for pictures with multiple objects, it's recommended to ask 'What are these?' rather than sticking with 'What's this?'. Furthermore, when a picture depicts a bunch of grapes, it's better to ask 'What's this?' and elicit the answer 'a bunch of grapes' rather than asking 'What are these?' and getting the answer 'grapes'. The concept of plural forms is not as strict in Japanese, making it more challenging for children to grasp.

お礼
もう、悲鳴をあげたくなるほど納得しました!! What is this picture? だったんですね!!? とすると、厳密に言うと答えは "It's a picture of cherries." ということですか? それを 単に"cherries" と答えさせてOK? "They are cherries." と答えた場合もOK? 次から次へと質問が続いてしまい、申し訳ありません。 ひとつわかると、2つわからないことが現れる・・・そんな感じです。
