Zeit für Deutsch S

Session Context

As 'Zeit für Deutsch R' was over 100 slides, I have removed the content and this session only contains 'Sport' activities. You will need to add activities from other Zeit für Deutsch sessions to run a full lesson

Slides 2 - 4 - Cognates

Say 'ist es Zeit für die Sandalen?' The children shout back 'nein'

Say 'ist es Zeit für der Scheck?' The children shout back 'nein'

Say 'ist es Zeit für das Schiff?' The children shout back 'nein'

 

Slide 5 - Zeit für Deutsch Song 

Say 'ist es Zeit für Deutsch?' The children shout back 'Ja'

The children then sing the Zeit für Deutsch song

 

Note - I have made up the following:

To the tune of 'Gangnam Syle the children sing 'Hey, Zeit für Deutsch, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, es ist Zeit für Deutsch'

 

Please feel free to make up your own song. I find the 'Gangnam Style' song works really well as the children can also do the Gangnam Style actions.  

 

Sport 

Slide 6 - Sportarten Song

Teach the children this song/rap, encouraging them to clap on the underlined words. This will be the song to introduce 'sport' activities in the future

 

Slide 7 - Treibst du Sport?

Go over this vocabulary. Choose some random children and ask them 'treibst du Sport?' They should answer with one of the sentences on the board. Explain that if the children want to be really clever, they can include the word 'gern' in their answer, which means 'like'. This goes after the verb. Give a few examples:

Ich spiele gern Fussball - I like to play football

Ich spiele gern Hockey - I like to play hockey

Ich schwimme gern - I like to swim

 

On their tables, get the children to spend a few minutes asking the other children 'treibst du Sport?' The children can make up answers even if they don't like the sport and they can give different answers to different children

 

Slide 8 - When? - Days of the Week

Sag mir nach the vocabulary on this slide, which should be familiar to the children. Ask some translation questions such as:

On Monday I play football

On Tuesday I swim

 

Encourage the children to put the verb in second place

Am Montag spiele ich Fussball

Am Dienstag schwimme ich

 

Slide 9 - When? - Time of Day

Sag mir nach the vocabulary on this slide. Point out that when you combine the day with time of day, it is one word in German e.g. Am Montagmorgen, Am Dienstagnachmittag etc ...

Again, ask the children some translation questions, encouraging them to put the verb in the second position, such as:

Evenings I play rugby - Abends spiele ich Rugby

On Thursday morning I do gymnastics - Am Donnerstagmorgen turne ich

 

Slide 10 - Translation 1 - German to English

On their tables, get the children to go through the slide with a partner and translate each sentence into English. After a few minutes, randomly select a child for each sentence and reward them if they are able to translate correctly

 

Slide 11 - Translation 2 - English to German

Give the children a few more minutes to complete this and then reward those who are able to translate correctly

 

Slide 12 - Secret Signal

Using the vocabulary on the slide, ask one child to leave the room and agree with the rest of the class on a secret signal, such as touching your nose. Choose a child to perform this signal at any given moment. Bring the first child back into the room and ask the class to say 'ich spiele' (the first item on the list) in a chant. Every time the class sees the designated person do the agreed secret signal, they move onto the next phrase in the list - du spielst. The child has to guess who is doing the signal before the class gets to the bottom of the list. If the child who went outside guesses correctly, they earn a reward. If the class get to the bottom, the 'signaller' and somebody else from the class, earn a reward  

 

Slides 13, 14 and 15 - Conjugations of schwimmen, rennen and turnen

Just as you did with 'to play' on slide 12, tell the children they will also need all of the other conjugations of 'schwimmen', 'rennen' and 'turnen'

Sag mir nach the vocabulary on the slides and ask questions such as how would you say:

*He swims

*They run

*We do gymnastics

 

Point out the patterns in the endings and compare with 'spielen' and 'haben'. You could play secret signal with these slides too

 

Slide 16 - Hangman

The sentences have to begin with a day/time of day/both and end with sport e.g. Am Sonntag turne ich

 

Model task first and then let some children come to the front with their own sentences. I found these rules work well for the classroom:

* The class are only allowed to guess 5 letters and then they must start guessing the sentence

* Whoever gets the sentence can come to the front with their own sentence   

    

The King or Queen of Knowledge Song and Plenary / Translation is now on Slide 17 as it comes at the end of 'Zeit für Deutsch'
