All you need to get students confidently using German numbers.
This pack focuses on getting the students to use their logic to work out how numbers in German are put together, including irregular ones.
This pack includes a 47-slide powerpoint presentation, crossword puzzles, card sort and jigsaw puzzle and list of game ideas to practise numbers.
Details:
The presentation includes pronunciation practise of ei-ie, different activities and games to practise the numbers and links to quizlet and Kahoot. The card sorting activity shows numbers in different Germanic languages to make students understand language families and cognates. There are two tarsia jigsaw puzzles for lower and higher numbers. Students cut out the square and triangular pieces and work out what shape they need to make by matching up the numbers in German.

A spy themed escape room activity in which students need to do German language related puzzles to get a code to jump from one website to the next in search of the “mole” . Ideal as vocab and grammar revision for year 12 or year 13 for AQA German AS/A Level. Will keep them focused even in the last lesson before the holidays!
It includes vocab from the topics celebrations, digital world, architecture and Berlin.
There is a “digital only” version and a" digital+paper" version. The “digital+paper” version is more fun because it involves the game website and real life puzzles ( jigsaws, code wheels and string activities) that make the activities more “real”, but requires quite a bit of preparation by the teacher. The “digital only” version can be used without preparation and for remote learning.
Comments from 6th form students:
“This is intense!” “This was the best lesson I’ve had in some time!” “Can we do another one soon?”
The resource includes:
Link to “Findet den Maulwurf!” website
Teacher instruction, including how to put together the puzzle items and example pictures
Teacher answers
Powerpoint with game introduction

Start the GCSE course with a French crime story that lasts a whole module!
This Murder Mystery is designed to run alongside Studio AQA GCSE Higher/Foundation Chapter 1 “Qui suis-je”, (and can be be adapted for Edexcel version) This project is intended to complement/ replace exercises from the text book and will link the pages together into one thrilling crime story. My students ask every lessons if they will find out today ‘whodunit’, especially as there is a prize for the best detective!
The project should not take up much more time than using the book on its own as some tasks can replace text book tasks and get students to revise the text book vocabulary in a different context.
Topics:
describing appearance and character
speaking about friendship
family relationships and reasons why you (don’t) get on with each other
future tense + going out to town
places in town + prepositions
perfect tense+ going out
imperfect+ childhood

A game for the first lesson in a new group or as recap of first few chapters of book. This is an example of 4 sentences in German, one of which is a lie. Every student writes 4 sentence about themselves, and then go around getting other people to guess which one is a lie.
Two columns with pictures/phrases, students choose their own illness, remedy… and then have to guess which of them their partner chose. To practise speaking more the rule is that they have to start the sentence from the beginning and keep going until they use a phrase their partner hasn’t chosen. Similar to battleships but with a longer sentence.
