Sequence of questions relating to Van Gogh's painting of his bedroom. Practice of colour, prepositions, and bedroom objects. For the first set of questions, students can see the painting. For the second set they have to do it from memory. Finally they should compare their own room with Van Gogh's room. Plenty of scope for practice of &'kein&'; as they identify everything that Van Gogh does not have in his room that they have in their room.
