Minimal Pairs Game: V/B, Th/S, R/L, S/Sh
A simple game in which students follow the lines based on what word they hear. Focusses on the difference in pronunciation between sounds that are particularly difficult for Japanese speakers to hear: v and b; th and s; r and l; and s and sh. It was made for first year junior high school students in Japan, so Japanese translations of the words have been added (though these could be easily removed). That being said, it could be used to work on listening and pronunciation for students of any age.
