Word searches are a simple and effective way of encouraging students to engage with the written word in German, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This set is aimed at beginner German students students of all ages, focusing on die Tage der Woche. The focus vocabulary also includes related words such as heute, morgen and gestern. Additionally, ordinal numbers erst-, letzt-, zweit- and so on, provide an additional language learning opportunity, giving students opportunity to engage with German adjectival endings, and increase the challenge in a number of grids. Students have to apply their broader knowledge of German in order to know which word to search for in the grid, for example der dritte Tag der Woche? This makes the activity more comprehensive and engaging than a straightforward days of the week vocabulary exercise.

The set features 10 differentiated word searches, with an increasing level of challenge. Grids 1-5 feature German prompts and German responses in the grid. Students also complete a list of corresponding translations in English for additional consolidation. Grids 6 & 7 feature questions in German such as Mittwoch : vorgestern? and students have to work out that they are seeking Montag in the grid. Grids 8-10 feature English prompts, with students looking for the corresponding German word in the grid, and also writing the German word in the vocabulary list. Each grid is in landscape format, and has an accompanying answer key so that students can check their own responses. There is an accompanying German-English vocabulary list which features all the vocabulary used in the word searches.

This kind of activity is really versatile, and useful in a range of learning contexts: starters, refreshers, finishers. fun-time fillers, refreshers or sub / cover lessons at any time during the school year, as well as during the period where this is the current language focus. Students benefit from revisiting the word searches over several weeks until they are absolutely confident with the range of vocabulary.
