GERMAN EUROPE COUNTRIES & CAPITALS QUIZ

GERMAN EUROPE COUNTRIES & CAPITAL CITIES QUIZ European countries & capitals multiple-choice quizzes in German are great games, suitable for any age range, at any time! The aim is to give students opportunity to engage happily and confidently with both the spoken and written word in German, identify cognates and near-cognates, and read out loud in German from the very beginning of their learning. They are a real multi-skill activity, helping students develop their German speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. At the same time, Students can develop their knowledge of the geography of Europe in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, giving their memory a real workout! Revisit regularly - can students beat their own record? We play them as a whole-group team quiz, and my students also like to play them in pairs or small groups.

The set contains all European countries & capitals, including some island communities such as the Faroe Islands and Guernsey. Each question has 3 answers to choose from. The correct answer is given in CAPITAL LETTERS, to ensure that all students can participate — they really enjoy being the quiz master! The quiz cards are numbered, but I prefer to ask in random order: we simply place all the cards in a bowl, box or tin, and work our way through - awarding extra points for perfect pronunciation!

There are two quiz challenges - Challenge 1 gives the country as a prompt, with three possible capital cities to choose from. Challenge 2 gives the capital city as a prompt, with three possible countries to choose from.

The quiz card templates allow students to apply both their German and their knowledge very practically: they can create their own set of multiple-choice questions for each other.

My students like this reference sheet - not only as prep for the quizzes, but as a ‘forever’ resource too - download it for free here:

I always laminate my learning cards, as they’re far more user-friendly, and last for absolutely years! I like the color background, and each challenge has a different background design, but I’ve also included the quizzes with no background, so that you can keep prep costs to a minimum.
