| Title | Clothing Scavenger Hunt Activity |
| Body | These activity suggestions were submitted by teachers of German, but they could be used for virtually any language, and with a variety of ages and levels as well, depending upon the vocabulary involved. Note: There was some concern expressed in this discussion that catalogs, particularly those of foreign origin, occasionally contain images which some may find offensive. Please check catalogs carefully before distributing them to students. ---- If you can get German clothing catalogs, I have a great clothing activity. Partners grab a catalog and I tell them what to look for, i.e. "Eine rote Bluse" or "einen Guertel unter 17 Euro." The kids leaf through the catalog looking for the item. The first group who finds it brings it up to me and receives 3 points, the 2nd group receives 2 points, and the 3rd group receives 1 point. You can play for a certain amount of time or until one group reaches a certain number. My kids love this simple activity. I have some German catalogs that are 15 years old. The styles are so much fun to look at. You can do the same thing with American catalogs. The clothing and descriptions are not German but you could still have a "Schnitzeljagd" through the clothing.

I save clothing catalogs and flyers from the Sunday newspaper and let students take whatever they need to find the items. Each group has a large piece of paper, too, and draws a suitcase on it, then glues their items on the paper (in the suitcase) and labels them. Haring, C. [AATG-L] Mode? Ja oder nein?
