Solving Problems on Giving and Receiving Using Logic
Students use their knowledge of giving and receiving verbs combined with logic to solve the problem of who received what from whom.
Procedure
Individual, pair or group work.
Each student or group receives a work sheet which explains the situation and give clues in Japanese for solving the problem.
The situation is that four students are staying with a Japanese family. Each student received a different omiyage from a different member of their host family. Students read the clues (ヒント), and work out who gave what to whom by a process of elimination and deduction.
