Disneyland Is Really Swinging
(I work as an ESL teacher and am working on practicing “Where’s ____ going?” “He’s/She’s going to _____” with two nine-year-old girls. I’ve written down a bunch of locations numbered 1-20 and they have to roll the twenty-sided die to figure out the place, but they’re free to choose the character/person themselves. Lines in [brackets] are in Japanese.)
Girl #1: “Where’s… Mickey going?”
Girl #2: *roll* “He’s going to Disneyland.”
Girl #1: “[That’s pretty normal. He’s just going to work. Okay then, I’ll do…] Where’s Minnie going?”
Girl #2: *roll* “She’s going to the shopping mall. [Aw, that’s mean, Mickey’s off working and she’s skipping off to go shopping.] Where’s Donald going?”
Girl #1: *roll* “He’s going to the shopping mall.”
Me: “[It’s an affair!]”
Girl #2: “[Minnie, how could you!]”
Girl #1: “[Mickey’s out working and you’re having an affair with Donald! Let’s see then…] Where’s Daisy going?”
Girl #2: *roll* “She’s going to the shopping mall!”
Me: “[She found out!]”
Girl #2: “[Ooooh Minnie, you’re in trouble!]”
