1 - When Something Hurts ~5 mins
How would you show someone your arm hurts if you had no words for it? Watch a few classmates mime, then imagine you are abroad at night and you need the real German phrase.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight body parts in German
- Say that a part of you hurts
- Choose useful phrases if you are unwell abroad
2 - Eight Body Parts ~10 mins
You are at a night-duty Apotheke in Munich and need to tell the pharmacist what hurts. Listen to the German on each card first (article included), repeat it chorally, then flip to check the English. After each word we build Mir tut … weh.
3 - Match at the Apotheke ~10 mins
Still at the night-duty pharmacy desk: flip two cards at a time and match each German body part to its English meaning. Say the German quietly as you turn each card, article included. When a pair is found, the class echoes the hurts line for that part.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
Open your copy. Using the model and word bank still on the board, write one full sentence saying that a part of you hurts.
5 - Label the Figure ~10 mins
Look at the first-aid poster figure on the board. Help us choose the right German label for each body part. Say the word quietly with its article when it lands, then build the hurts line as if you are reporting to the Apothekerin.
