Paper Rock Scissor Races, also known as Janken Races, are an engaging method to review vocabulary and language targets for young learners with minimal teacher intervention. Using 7 to 15 vocabulary cards, students aged 5 to 9, grouped into small teams, race from one end to the other by associating each vocabulary card with the lesson’s target language as they progress. Encounters with opposing team members on a card lead to Rock Paper Scissor battles, deciding who continues.

A point is awarded when a player reaches the opposing team's starting point, with the game continuing until a team attains 5 points. This playful approach keeps both teaching and learning fresh, veering away from the monotony of traditional flashcard methods.
