How to host German Food Words bingo

1. 1

   Print the German Food Words cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with die Orange, das Brötchen, der Salat, der Fisch and das Mittagessen.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 44 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with die Milch, der Kuchen, der Reis, der Joghurt and der Kakao; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Color-code the calls by gender on the board, blue for der, red for die and green for das, and ask the class to predict each article before revealing it.

4. 4

   Mention that “das Brötchen” has regional names, such as “die Semmel” in Bavaria and Austria, and that “-chen” words are always neuter.

5. 5

   After each call, ask “Was isst du zum Frühstück?” and let a volunteer answer with a marked item, using “Ich esse…” or “Ich trinke…”.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (die Brezel in this set's order) and a blackout near call 40; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
