Ideal cover lesson. Pupils fill in the timetable in German to begin with. They then draw and label their school uniform in German, using the vocab list to help. They write some opinion words underneath their drawing. To finish, they must write a sentence or two about subjects and their uniform. For example, “Ich finde Deutsch toll und ich finde Mathe langweilig. Ich finde meine Schuluniform cool und schick.”

On the first slide, pupils must decide whether the opinion word is positive or negative. Pupils then give a sentence, giving their opinion, to play Battleships. For example, “Ich finde das Hemd altmodisch.” Use that grid reference to reveal a square by clicking on it. If there’s an exploded battleship underneath, that team gets the point. If not, move over to the other team. There are 5 to find.

Pupils must get 4 in a row to get a point for their team. Click on the relevant colour to make the shape change to that colour. 5 in a row could mean 2 points! This topic is clothes.
