How to use: Give 3-5 cards to each student. The students should check that they don’t have any cards with their birthday month. If they do, give them a different card. Students make pairs and play janken. The winner asks ‘When is your birthday?’ and their partner responds with ‘My birthday is ______.’ If the student has a card with their partner’s birthday month then they give them that card, and say ‘Happy Birthday! Here you are’. Their partner responds with ‘Thank you!’. If they don’t have a matching card then the conversation is over and don’t exchange cards. Then change roles. When the time is finished, students should count how many birthday presents they received. Do not count cards that don’t have their birthday month on it. The winner is the student with the most presents.
