I produced this Ppt to give students an idea of how Christmas is celebrated in Germany. It is based on the family traditions of our German Assistant, therefore that's not to say that every family in Germany celebrates in that way.

An end of term quiz for KS3 & 4. Must students loved it. There are famous faces rounds, a famous brands round, identify the chocolate round, a geography round and being a German teacher a German round, which can easily be deleted. I should acknowledge that I have taken ideas from other peoples' quizzes and adapted them, so thanks to those. Hope you enjoy!

Quiz for beginners. 3 rounds: R1 - Facts about Germany R2 - Guess the German company from the brand logo R3 - True or false? Answers towards end of Ppt. Plenty of potential for further discussion to extend students’ cultural awareness.

I put together this Ppt about the building and fall of the Berlin Wall as an end of term Yr9 mini-project. I spent the whole hour talking about it to my 4 top/middle groups using the ppt and linked video clips and they loved it. So many questions were asked and it really had them captivated. I also used an animated clip about the Wall from dwtv called 'walled in' (available in English and German &'Eingemauert). Pupils thought it was great as it really brings the whole thing to life. Thought i&';d share.

A way of making the prep for the Speaking Exam slightly more interesting. Snakes and Ladders pretty self-explan, Ppt doc is a battleships activity. Students work in pairs, each has a print out of the Ppt slide. Each student chooses 5 squares in which to 'place their ships&' and the objective is for their partner to guess where they have placed their ships and vice-versa. They choose a square, i.e. A1 and then have to respond to the questions with a minimum of 5 details. They take it in turns. First person to guess where their partner&';s 5 ships are wins.

I made this quiz for tutors to use during tutor time in the last week of term (designed to fill a 25 minute slot). With the exception of the Christmas TV advert round, I have begged, borrowed and stolen ideas from other contributors. Enjoy!
