This is a series of lessons built around the Euro 2024 competition in Germany. It begins with a link to a multilingual song for the championship.It then looks at the countries involved and includes a range of activities around this such as matching, bingo, labelling and reading, the latter using the group matches as stimulus material. As you work through the activities, the countries which are German-speaking are particularly mentioned.
The activities can be extended for students to research a country/team of their choice.
It also includes links to find out more about the cities hosting matches and focuses on listening to a video on Stuttgart to hear and see what that city has to offer. The Ppt is interspersed with Allzeit Statistik quiz questions which could be used as starters, looking at the highest goal scorers, country to have one most, etc. The activities on the slides are accompanied by an activity booklet on Word (so easily adaptable). Enjoy!
These resources are designed for KS2/3 and include a series of lessons linked to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The first Ppt includes an introduction to the games, some sporting vocabulary and games to reinforce this. There is a separate printable bingo or labelling card to go with it. The Ppt includes a link to a video for children about how the Games came to Paris and the activities from the Activity Booklet are on the relevant Ppts, including answers. The Activity Booklet includes reading, matching, word puzzle, colour by number, True/False activities which links to each of the Ppts. The resource also includes a Ppt with activities on the mascots, another on the Olympic Flame and its journey and a third on some of the sites hosting events. There are optional video links and even a link to learn the Olympic Flame song in French. Just added a set of starter activities.
Sources are included in the Notes section and the information has been researched from current sites. There are also links to additional sites with resources you may find useful.
This booklet is wholly adaptable and allows for inclusion of emergency information and meeting points, glossary of useful language (with room to add your own), a section to add experience of jobs encountered where knowledge of a language is useful (thinking Gatsby Benchmark 4), guided diary pages to consider what visits there have been, food, accommodation, use of German (feel free to adapt to your needs) and space to add pictures, tickets, etc, as well as a summary of the ‘best bits’. It is done in Comic Sans as that is what my most recent school prefers, but you can easily change if, like me, you’re not a fan.
I hope it saves you some work. You can add your school logo to personalise. Most importantly, have a great trip!
