This set is aimed at advanced beginner and intermediate German students. It focuses not only on the core vocabulary of days, months and seasons, but also on key dates in the German calendar, including all national official holidays - Bundeseinheitliche Feiertage - and a range of other Feiertage and important dates, such as Faschingsdienstag and der Fall der Berliner Mauer. Many of these dates, both national and / or regional across German-speaking countries, are religious in origin, such as Karfreitag and Allerheiligen. This is a popular alternative to more traditional teacher-led presentations about German traditions, festivals and national holidays, and provides a really useful springboard and stimulus for class discussion and more comprehensive research.
The target vocabulary includes definite and indefinite articles, as well as ordinal numbers erst-, letzt-, zweit- and so on, increasing the challenge in a number of grids. The search questions are equally important: students have to apply their broader knowledge of German and Germany in order to know which word to search for in the grid, for example Alle vier Jahre gibt es ? or ? wird am 3. Oktober gefeiert?
The set features 10 differentiated word searches, with varying levels of challenge. Grids 1 and 2 feature German prompts and German responses in the grid. Students also complete a list of corresponding translations in English for additional consolidation. Grids 3,4, and 5 feature English prompts, which students translate into German, and then look for in the grid. Grids 6-10 feature a series of questions, which students have to answer before they can complete the search grid. For example ***Ein Jahr hat vier ?***, ? hat im Schaltjahr neunundzwanzig Tage and ***Der Tag der Deutschen Einheit ist am ?***. Grid 10 also features a range of dates such as 6. Januar to give students plenty of opportunity to practice the use of the full stop after the number in German dates.
There is an accompanying German national holidays and key dates list which students can also use as a longer-term reference resource.
