Look at someone nearby or at the picture on the board. In English, describe their clothes and colours in one full sentence.

Today you will do the same thing in German, and you will make the colour word match the clothing word.

Part 1: the clothes. Here are today's eight clothes words. Tap each one, listen, then say it back together. Watch the article every time: der, die or das.

Part 2: colour match. When a colour comes before the clothing word after Ich trage (I am wearing), the colour ending changes to match. Keep these three anchors only:

• Ich trage blaue Schuhe (I am wearing blue shoes) — plural: no ein, colour ending -e
• Ich trage ein rotes Hemd (I am wearing a red shirt) — neuter: ein + colour ending -es
• Ich trage einen blauen Mantel (I am wearing a blue coat) — masculine: einen + colour ending -en

Recycled colours you already know: blau, rot, grün, schwarz.

Volunteers at the board flip two cards at a time and find each German clothing word with its English meaning.

Everyone else: when a match is found, whisper the full German form with the article (for example die Schuhe). Then the whole class says it aloud together before the next turn.

Lena is heading out for breaktime in rainy Hamburg. Look at her outfit on the picture. Click the correct German label for each piece of clothing.

When the labels are in place, help build one full German sentence about what she is wearing, using a colour where you can.
