This is an information sheet for pupils, giving times in German.

The writing wheel is designed as a support for pupils' writing, especially in a foreign language, which is one of the most difficult skills. Add different elements of a paragraph into each circle, starting from the centre and working your way out. Then print out one or both slides (depending on how much you want pupils to write) as support for pupils’ writing.

Quite simply, a list of letters (including accented ones) and their corresponding number, so you can do 'crack the code' activities in class.

Fill in the blank squares with relevant phrases from the lessons. Give each group of 4 a set of these cards. They put them in the middle, face down, and pick one up one-by-one and then place them back in the middle. They read what’s on the card. If it says ‘Tu triches’, they must make up a sentence without being obvious. Other players can say ‘Tu triches’ at any point in the game. If they’re right, the person cheating picks up all the cards from the middle and they start again. If someone says ‘Tu triches’ and the person they’re accusing is not cheating, then the accuser has to pick up all the cards. The winner is the first person to get rid of all their cards.
