Simple quiz. Each slide of the powerpoint begins with an outline map of one of the competing countries in Euro 2012. A click of the mouse will reveal the football strip of that country, modelled by a Subbuteo / Zeugo figure. Another click will reveal the flag of that country. A fourth click will reveal the name of the team. How many clicks do your pupils need before they identify the team?
A bit of old-fashioned grammar. The sheet presents the Present Tense paradigms of lieben, hassen and mögen, gives guidance about 'don't like' and 'don't like any' and then provides twenty sentences in English to translate into German. All the sentences relate to the topic of TV.
A GCSE Higher Level text about a young German's decent into drug abuse, followed by questions in English. (NB This is the same text that I used for the "Intro to the Imperfect" but with different exploitation.)

Jumbled dialogue between, Santa, who has misplaced his reindeer, and an elf, who finds them in his garden. The dialogue can be reassembled in many different ways. You could model a dialogue first and them ask them to improvise something similar, before asking them to write up a plausible dialogue.
9 images featuring mobiles and chosen to provoke oral contributions from students. The first slide acts as a homepage. Students choose a random number and are hyperlinked to an unseen image.
Interactive drag-and-drop IW activity for practising key verbs. The activity has 50 verbs embedded, but will select at random 10 verbs to practise each time it is opened. With any luck it will never be the same activity twice!
