Revision ideas for Year 11

Ideas from my colleagues of revision activities for GCSE classes:



-GCSE vocab cards: students make cards with German phrases, blank on the other side. In groups, they put a card down, person who says it fastest in English keeps the card (good for 8-10 phrases). After a while: write the English on reverse side and play other way round. Make sure pupils initial their cards in case you mix groups.

- Ask studens to draw a grid, each grid covering a topic (could be grammar e.g. tenses and/or modules e.g school/health etc). Read out phrases or words in TL; students group them in English under correct topic.Works great for tenses.

- Mini-whiteboards: Draw in 10 seconds what teacher said in TL.



I have been using the 12 game but in multiples of 10 at the end of lessons…students count up to 120, they can say one number at a time, or two, or three, but whoever says 120 is out. So one student might say 10, the next 20, 30, 40, the next 50, 60, 70, the next , 80, 90, the next 100, 110…then the student who would have to say 120 is out/loses a life. Works for whole class or small groups.
