Body: Below are some abridged versions of command activities recently suggested on the FLTEACH listserv. ----- List 10 chores around the house as given by a parent. The students put them in the order that they should be done. Each command has some kind of clue that tells you where it should go, using "before" or "after" etc. Spivey, S. Re: looking for good activities to teach commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2004). ----- Assign groups of 4-5 students different life situations such as "How to be a good student", "how to be a good son/daughter" etc. Each student comes up with 2-3 commands on how to achieve the goal so that there are a total of 10 commands for each. Then they read their commands to the rest of the class, who has to guess what is being described. When everyone has presented, we hang up the signs around the room. Moore, D. Re: looking for good activities to teach commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (22 Nov. 2004). ----- You can have students lead each other around the classroom using only oral communication, possibly making an obstacle course.

Re: looking for good activities to teach commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Nov. 2004). ----- I tell my students to pretend that they are babysitting my 2-year-old. They need to tell him to do at least 5 different things. They usually ask for some vocabulary, but as long as they can put it in the command form, I'm more than happy to give them suggestions. Doerner, J. Re: looking for good activities to teach commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Nov. 2004). ----- Use recipes from a magazine. Some use the infinitive, some use formal commands, some use informal commands.

Body: Editor's note: Below is an abridged description of an activity recently posted on the FLTEACH listserv. It was intended for practicing the past tense but could be adapted for a number of structures or functions. ----- Make a transparency of the verbs you want students to use so they can see the words Wahrheit [truth] and Lüge [lie] and the specific information in parentheses after the verb. They are to write 2 true statements and 1 false one about something they did over the weekend or during the past week. For instance: Verbs: 1. I saw __. (a film) 2. I called __. 3. I put on __. (clothing item) (etc.) Student writes: a) I saw "Catch Me If You Can." b) I saw Gangs of New York. (this is a lie) c) I saw Seabiscuit. Then they get in groups of 3. Student A reads her 3 statements and Students B and C each have to guess which one is a lie, in the target language. At the end, each counts up which of the other two students got the most correct guesses. Haring, C. Teaching the Passe Compose. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
