Lesson Context
This is the children's second lesson on 'houses' and includes fun games such as 'Pictionary' and 'Flüsterpost. The children will learn the German for household items such as 'fridge' and 'bed' and will initially put these into sentences using 'I have', 'I like', and 'I play'. This new vocabulary will then be combined with 'rooms' and 'to be' from last week, with particular attention paid to 'ist' and 'are' and translating more complex sentences where the children will be able to say which items of furniture are in certain rooms

Slide 2
Communicate LO and SC
Highlight the 'blue SC' and tell the children that by the end of the lesson, they should be able to use 'ist' and 'sind' to translate all of the sentences on the front of their hand outs
Slides 3 - 5 - Furniture/Items in a house
Sag mir nach the vocabulary on these slides. Ask the occasional question using verbs the children already know such as 'ich mag', 'ich habe' and 'ich spiele mit'. For example, how would you say:
*I have the chair
*I like the fridge
*I play with the toys
Give the children a couple of minutes to learn the vocabulary on these slides (on the front of their hand outs) with a partner and by using the hide and reveal method
Now put the children into teams
Slide 6 - Pictionary
Select a drawer for each team. The drawer has their own board and will be drawing for his/her team only. Give each drawer the same word from slides 3-5 and they draw the item simultaneously for 1 minute. After 1 minute the team put their heads together and come up with 1 answer in German as to what they think has been drawn. No guessing before the 1 minute is finished. The team scores a point if they have guessed correctly. Repeat several times with a different drawer each time
For all of the translation questions from slides 7 - 13, give points to the team that the child is on
Slide 7 - 12 - Rooms
Sag mir nach the vocabulary on the slides. This is revision of the same 'rooms' as last week but bathroom (Badezimmer) and dining room (Esszimmer) have been added. As you go through the vocabulary, ask the children to translate various sentences into German, such as:
*That is the living room
*Here is the dining room
*The garden is beautiful
*I am in the kitchen
Slide 13 - to be (sein)
As you did in House 1, sag mir nach the vocabulary on the slides and point out that 'are' in 'you are' is different to the 'are' in 'they are' and 'we are'. Now get the children to translate some sentences combining this vocabulary with rooms, such as:
*I am in the living room
*You are in the bedroom
*He is in the garden
*She is in the bathroom
*It is in the children's room
*They are in the office
*We are in the dining room
Bring the children's attention to 'is' and 'are' in large writing on the right of the slide. For the rest of the lesson they will need these 2 words.
Slide 14 - Translation
Now get the children to translate the sentences on the slide using the 'furniture' and 'house' vocabulary from this lesson, together with 'ist' and 'sind'. They can use their hand outs to help them and they can write out the answer next to the sentences in their hand outs if they wish. Do number 1 with them but then give the children a few minutes to translate them with a partner. After a few minutes randomly select and reward children/teams who can translate the sentences
Slide 15 - Flüsterpost (Broken telephone game)
Whisper the same sentence to a member on the end of each team. This sentence has to be whispered though each member of the team. The child on the other end of the team has to write down what they think the sentence is on a wipe board. Each 'end child' holds the board up at the same time after a signal and each team with the correct answer gets a point. Repeat several times.
Slide 16/Plenary - King/Queen of Knowledge
Assessment and Evidence
Observe and ask questions
Refer back to the learning objective and success criteria after the 'King/Queen of Knowledge' activity
Check achievement of the blue success criteria when you are on slide 17 by questioning and rewarding randomly selected children (using lollipop sticks)
