1 - Animals You Have Stood Beside ~5 mins
Which of these animals have you actually stood beside: a cow, a pig, a sheep, a horse? Hands up for each one. Today you will learn their German names, plus four more farm animals you might meet on a trip.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight farm animals in German
- Spot those words when you hear them
- Write each one with its article
2 - Eight Farm Animals ~10 mins
Look at each farm animal. Listen to the German name with its article, then say it with the class. Watch for the capital letter and keep die or das with every word today.
You will meet the animals in two groups of four. After the first group, say those four again together before the next four appear.
3 - Farm Animal Bingo ~10 mins
Listen carefully and mark each farm animal as you hear it on your card. First full line shouts Bingo! then reads their animals back in German with the article. Say the German quietly to yourself as you mark it.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
Open your copy. Write four farm animals from today's list, each with its article and a capital letter (die or das). Keep the word list on the board while you write.
5 - Spin the Farm Wheel ~10 mins
Before the wheel spins, whisper all eight farm animals with their articles together with the class. Then the wheel lands on a farm animal. When it is your turn, say the full German word with its article. If you need help, a classmate or the audio can prompt you, then you say the correct form so everyone hears it.
