1 - Show Me Without Words ~5 mins
Show me happy without saying anything. Now sad. Now tired.
Today we put German words on those faces, so you can say how you feel in one short sentence.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight feelings in German
- Say how you feel with Ich bin…
- Spot those words when you hear them
2 - Label the Feelings ~10 mins
Listen as each picture is tapped on the board, then say the German back together. We will meet the words in two short rounds of four. Listen for the rounded ü, the ö, and the ä when they appear.
3 - Match the Playground Feelings ~9 mins
Imagine break time in a German school yard. Watch the board. When a volunteer turns two cards, say the German under your breath with Ich bin…. After every match, the whole class choruses the full sentence together.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
The word table stays on the board. Open your copy. Copy the frame Ich bin ___., then copy one feeling word from the board into the gap (underline any umlaut). This is copy-from-the-board, not a spelling test.
5 - Feelings Bingo at Break Time ~9 mins
You have a paper bingo card. Listen for each call. Mark the matching square on the card you have been given. When you complete a line, call Bingo! Then the class cheers Ja! and choruses Ich bin… with the winning feelings.
