TitleReading Review Activity
Body
Here is an idea I use for my readers that the students like. I call it "Wer hat es gesagt oder Wer hat es gemacht?" Who said it or who did it?

At the end of the reader or book, I have the students find quotes from a character or paraphrase/describe what a character did. The students create the game questions, which I later use on the test.

On review day, I write the characters' names on the board and put a marker on a table with a student from each team sitting on either side of the table, hands in their laps. I say the quote and the first one who grabs the marker (or with the most hands on it) gets to answer with a character's name. If wrong, the other side has a chance to earn the point. This also works for vocab or past participle review. There can be a bit of wrestling if the marker flies off the table, but it's generally a quiet activity.

If they don't understand the quote or sentence, the class works through it together to translate. Then I give the two players a new quote.

I intersperse their quotes with real quotes from the test, and the students review quite a bit of the vocabulary and storyline.
