1 - Wild Animals We Know ~5 mins
Which wild animals do you already know in English? Take a moment: can you name four before we meet their German names?
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight wild animals in German
- Label animals on a wildlife-park picture
- Spot the German words when you hear them called out
2 - Eight German Wild Animals ~10 mins
Watch each animal on the board, listen, then say it back together as a class.
You will meet them in two groups of four. Listen for the little word in front of each animal, because it is not the same every time — most of them share one, one of them is different, and two more share another. Say the whole phrase, not just the animal.
3 - Label the Wildlife Park ~10 mins
These animals are hiding in a wildlife-park scene — can you name them all?
One of you comes up to click a label on the board. While that happens, everyone else points at the animal and whispers the whole phrase (der / die / das + the name) before the answer appears. The animal's name on its own is not enough.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
Open your copy and write four wild animals with their articles. Star your favourite two.
5 - Wild Animal Bingo ~10 mins
You will get a bingo card (on paper, or on screen if you are using devices). When you hear a German animal with its article, mark it. First full line shouts Bingo!
