Sasumata are those long poles hanging on the walls of your classrooms with a reversed semi-circle on the end. Personally, I think these poles are waste of money, but they are supposed to be used for when a bad person is trying to attack you. You are supposed to take this 6 1/2 foot pole off the wall and push the bad person up against the wall, sandwiching them in the cresent moon part of the pole.
Recently, an ALT was telling me how they had this used on them...I hope it was for fun and that they weren't being a 'bad person'. Anyways, it got me thinking. I started asking around to the students if they had ever used that pole and nobody had.
I was thinking maybe the students needed some practice with this pole since they have never used it, so I have been trying to think of a way to use that pole as an English activity but my mind is blank with ideas.
Any SERIOUS ideas?

you could have the poles represent where kids shoot from in games. kids have to get into the contraption before they can try.
I cant get over all the non-serious ideas. And I've seen this thing used on a 'bad teacher' in a school 'bad man drill'

Maybe you could do an English role^play situation. Yes, Yes...I know roleplaying requires creativity on part of your students, creativity which only rarely exists. But maybe telling them they can use the 'bad guy' pole will garner enough attention. Have them break into groups and write skits or "fill in the blank" skits that you can provide. It can be pretty versatile in all the JHS grades. Like for 1st year, you can use it for present progressive practice, have the 'bad guy' or 'guys' use present progressive to describe the action that they are doing that bad. Have a narrator who reads the scene as 2 or 3 actors play the part, switch it around so everyone has to talk. Bad guy* makes exaggerated I'm doing something bad action. Narrator: The bad guy is stealing/punching/breaking/etc... nani nani. Good guy (with helpers and pole): fends and traps bad guy removing the problem. Narrator: The good guy is saving the day/catching the bad guy etc...
For 2nd year you can do something similar, maybe with the chapter grammar for the bad guy (future tense) and for the good guy chapter 4 (have to/must) same style good guy/bad guy/narrator. Bad guy: imitates action to be performed narrator: Bad is going to do good guy: catches bad guy. narrator: To save a school troubled by bullies and ridden with unfairness, dare dare-kun must defend his precious friends and save his school...all the while having to finish his homework on time...(movie preview voice)
So yea thats pretty much the gist of my idea, I'm sure you can find grammar to fit it into 3rd year. If anything for a review class of past grammars.
