Some things that have worked very well for me is to have my students come
up with a set of questionsin Japanese the night before and have them ask those questions when the
students come. I give them a participation point for each question asked
(middle school). Usually they ask about music and T.V.
and they learn about each other.

In terms of games, games like fly swatter, translation board game, etc or
anything that has some challenge for both students (some English to
Japanese or Japanese to English) have been good since
both sets of students have something they can learn from.
