| Title | Idea for Practicing Relative Clauses in German |
| Body | A German college teacher gives the following idea for practicing relative clauses: I do a "Tabu" type of game. The students are given cards with items in English written on them that they have to purchase in a store in a German-speaking country, where the salesclerk (oddly) speaks no English at all. The items on the shopping list are of course items for which they don't know the German: safety pin, clothes hanger, tweezer; if you want extra laughs you can include diarrhea medicine and such. Of course you have to stress that they use phrases like "Es ist ein Ding, mit [dem] man...." I usually write on the board "Es ist ein Ding/Instrument/ eine Maschine", etc. This works well if you can separate the class into two teams. Babilon, S. Re: [AATG-L] relative clause exercise?.
