The memory cards used on the site are in a very typical German style, and aspects of intercultural learning can be incorporated by getting students to NOTICE and COMPARE differences and similarities. Ideally, the memory could be played with a partner, and students could say the items on the cards before they continue with their turn, provided the vocabulary is known.

A quick and fun whole body activity to check understanding of vocabulary.

Instructions to an activity straddling numeracy and German. Good fun, too!

Laminate the sheet, cut up and keep in a Ziploc bag. Hand out mixed up card to your students, asking them to use German to find their famous partner (the cards are colour coded to facilitate in case of doubt). All studnets wander around the room to find their partner.
