A fun plenary or starter game for any subject or topic that doesn't need any preparation. On each slide there are 16 squares with five treasures hidden behind them. Students answer a question and if they get it right they choose a square and get a point/sweet/sticker if they find a treasure. There are 11 slides with treasures hidden in different places and the slide to be used can be chosen randomly by clicking the spinning wheel on the first slide. This activity is based on the gamification theory that random rewards make games more addictive and fun. Note: In presentation mode click on squares to make them disappear and reveal the treasures.

The presentation is meant to be presented in chunks, when students come across a new sound or before speaking exams. Note: the slides are not in alphabetical order but in order of how common the problem is. There is a hyperlinked index.

A worksheet to practise adjective endings with clothes. Suitable for KS3 or KS4 (includes vocab from Stimmt! 2 and Stimmt! GCSE book). Inlcudes a sheet with vocabulary and a gap fill worksheet (ideally copied onto the same sheet). Also includes an answer sheet.

This is to support AQA German A level, Hodder & Stoughton book Kapitel: Kunst und Architektur, page 74-77 . It now also includes two 360 degree tours to introduce and practise architectural vocab. I have used this in combination with semerson6’s resources https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-german-a-level-hodder-and-stoughton-book-kunst-und-architektur-11486144. The first task is about the famous buildings mentioned in the “Zum Einstieg” box at the beginning of the chapter. The powerpoint “Berühmte Gebäude” contains pictures of each of the buildings, showing each one for a few seconds and then moving on to the next (it plays in a loop). While watching the presentation students should fill in the worksheet about the name, country and function of the building. The web tasks ppt contains a link to an overview sheet of different styles that I found online. After going through the vocab with the students, they then use their devices to go to 360cities.net to look at a 360 degree view of the buildings (they are the same ones from the text on p. 75 which can be used as the answer sheet) and work out what style they represent. My students enjoyed that task very much and I think it bring architecture a bit more to life.

Sentence builder for weather and activities (Es regnet, also spiele ich Fussball). Students write down one sentence and then guess what sentence their parter has written.
