german greetings and how are you domino game

This is a domino game for beginners, e.g. year 7 pupils who have just learnt, my name is, greetings e.g. hello, good evening, good bye and how are you?

• It needs printing onto paper / card and cutting up before the lesson or you can give it out and ask the pupils to cut it up.
• keep the pieces as one domino, e.g 2 parts on it,
• this works well in groups of 3 or in pairs.
• How to play - get the pupils into groups, give an envelope with all of the pieces in to each group, one person shuffles the dominoes and gives them out to the players equally.
• the player with the star on the left goes first and places that domino down.
• The player who has the english tranlsation of the word / phase on their domino in their hand goes next and places their domino next to the first domino.
• It continues until one player has used up all of their dominoes. That player is the winner.
• Get pupils to continue playing until the end so that they practice all of the phrases - the final domino if played correctly is the one with the star on the right.
