14. Guten Tag oder Gute Nacht? 1.Pupils look at the selection of photos and then decide if they would say this is Guten Tag or Gute Nacht? 2.This can be further extended to create a wall display if doing day and night paintings for example. I have experienced the wonder of looking at the vastness of the sky, and can recognise the sun, moon and stars and link them to daily patterns of life. SCN 0-06a

22. Toc, toc, toc! If you are using a puppet for German, you can keep it in a box with a lid on it (its bed) and ask the pupils to knock on the door to wake him/her up by saying Toc, toc, toc. When he wakes up they can then say Bonjour! to the puppet. When its time for him to go back to bed, they can then say Schlaf gut, Tsch üss, Gute Nacht etc. If you like you can also add in Wach auf which means wake up.
