This is a tarsia puzzle with family vocab for the end of year of year ten German. The vocab is based on unit 4 of the Edexcel German GCSE (2009 spec) foundation book about family, character, marriage and some past tense. A tarsia consists of puzzle pieces that the students cut out and then match words to form a certain shape (ideally students don’t know what shape that is). They will quickly realise their mistakes if the puzzle won’t fit together. Great activity for Friday afternoons or end of year.

Do you use a lot of PowerPoint presentations and are bored with using the same design all the time? Here are 14 themed backgrounds to bring variety to your presentations. Most of them should also help students with dyslexia who find it easier to read from coloured backgrounds. The themes are mainly the ones covered in language lessons but can be used for a variety of subjects. TES doesn't allow the sharing of Office Themes, so these are saved as presentations. Either use them as they are and add your content or save them as a Office Theme if you want to use them in different presentations.
