They could be used as displays, as part of a presentation on that topic (most fun if read by different people) or as an example for students to make their own comic strips with bitstrips.com. The topics are word order with verb second place, word order with verb last place after ‘weil’ and Time-Manner-Place.

The “digital” version only requires one print out and can be done last minute. Student will need one computer, laptop or iPad per group.

Treasure Hunt - Places in Town and Directions

(2)
A fun game that can be used to practise speaking about places in town and giving directions. Works best if there are prizes for finding the treasures! There are 5 maps with streets and town buildings (church, hospital ect) and three hidden treasure per slide. Students have to guess where the treasure is by naming the place of giving directions there, when you click on the place it reveals either an empty space or a treasure. The third slide turns the whole game into a race between different teams. In stronger classes they could practise prepositions and cases/genders (in der Kirche/ au stade ect) The last two slides are more detailed to practise more complex directions like ‘over the bridge’, ‘at the traffic light’ ect.
