Speaking game for AS level German based on the Radio 4 game 'Just a Minute'. A pupil says 'stop' to get a question from the powerpoint. They must talk without hesitation, deviation or repetition for a minute about that question. Other pupils can lodge an 'Anfechtung' if they believe that the person speaking has hesitated/deviated/repeated.

Can make simpler for lower ability by allowing some hesitation/lowering the time limit. Questions on the topics of families, relationships, healthy living, drugs, alcohol, fashion and use of technology (phones and internet). To stop the powerpoint from whizzing through the slides, press S.
