| Title | Activities for Valentinstag |
| Body | Several recent posts to the AATG listserv have suggested ideas for observing Valentine's Day at school. Below is the URL for one teacher's Web site, where you can download Valentine's day resources (Word document) which include love-related conversation prompts and a vocabulary list. Following that is an activity which might help stir up interest in the study of German at your school. http://teacherweb.com/WI/hhs/havas/Photo2.stm ---- Last year, I made a huge pink heart and wrote on it "FALL IN LOVE WITH GERMAN." The students then wrote messages on smaller red and pink hearts -- the type that are on the heart candies this time of year ("I love you," "be mine," etc.). We hung the whole thing in our commons area where everyone could see it. The German 3 students took their little hearts and randomly put them in lockers around the school. It said on the back of the heart, "If you want to find out what this says, see the German teacher!" Some kids did come by asking for a translation. This fall I made a big tree (black trunk with red & gold leaves). Each leaf had the name of a student or teacher at the school with a German name (that took a little time with the student locator binder). On the trunk, there was a sign: "Got German in the family tree? 43 million Americans say "JA!" Are you one of them?" I got lots of positive comments from teachers and kids about this. Hughes, T.
