| Title | Ideas for Teaching “Die Familie” in German |
| Body | Here are some ideas by AATG listserv users for teaching and practicing family vocabulary in German: Give each student the name of a famous person, either real or fictitious. Have them talk about the person's family without naming him/her, and the other students have to listen and say the person's name. Example: Seine Frau heisst Laura, und seine Toechter heissen Barbara und Jenna. Sein Bruder heisst Jeb. Seine Eltern heissen George und Barbara. Er wohnt in Washington. (answer: George W.) Some other people/characters: Lisa Simpson, John F. Kennedy, anyone from the Brady Bunch, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson. Seidlitz, L. [AATG-L] Die Familie. American Association of Teachers of German listserv (AATG@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU, 8 Oct 2007). --- I put the students into groups of 8 or 9 and they have to make a "living" family tree. They stand in the correct positions and introduce themselves and others. z.B.: "Ich bin Marta. Das ist meine Mutter Ingrid. Das ist mein Onkel Fritz." etc. Each student must introduce 5 other family members in the family tree. The students not involved in the family tree must draw the family tree and label each person's name and relationship. Gronlund, P. [AATG-L] Die Familie. American Association of Teachers of German listserv (AATG@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU, 9 Oct 2007). --- For an online activity about the family, go to http://www.langenscheidt.de/lehrwerke_onlineprojekte/genial_A1/ub09/f_uebung.html The students go to the authentic websites of the German families first and then fill out the accompanying exercises. They can then print out the exercises. Instructions for the teacher can be found here: http://www.langenscheidt.de/lehrwerke_onlineprojekte/genial_A1/komm/komm9/f_komm9.html The online activity was developed for geni@l, but can be done with other textbooks as well after the students have worked on the vocabulary for the family and possessive adjectives.
