Listen to the song a couple of times and it will stick in your head all day!
or the English version is on Genki English vol. 1
Lesson Plan for German Teachers...
Once the kids have got all the German stuck in their head from the song,
you can try this game to practise using it.
1. Split the class into several groups (of not more than
about 5 people).
2. Arrange the desks into a more "random" order
(neat rows make the game too easy).
3. Tell the kids to decide which group goes first. The game is played one
group at a time.
4. One kid in the group puts on the blindfold and
stands in one corner of the room. Spin the kid around 3
times to disorientate them a bit.
5. Start the stop watch.
6. The kid's teammates must try and direct him/her to the board, (where
you will have drawn a "target") by saying "links",
"rechts" etc. etc.
7. When they reach the target stop the stopwatch.
8. If they take more than 2 minutes it's "Game
Over" for them!
(This helps keeping things moving along)
9. The next team has a go.
10. The team with the fastest time is the winner.
If the teammates speak English then add 2 seconds to their time. Similarly
if other teams are being noisy then add 2 seconds to their time.
Make sure some desks are pushed up against the wall,
otherwise they can just walk straight along, feeling the
wall!
Remember that when you're facing the class then "links" and "rechts"
are reversed for the kids and hence confusing! Be careful!
Also, make sure they know their left and right in their native language
before you start!!
It's a good idea to draw a target on the board and get the kids to hit
it with an inflatable hammer (see the Hammer Game)
Some kids try and memorise the positions of the desks and just walk to
the target without listening to their teammates. To prevent this simply
move some of the desks around whilst they are blindfolded!
The kids might want to try a second time, so
either add the two times together or just take the best
of the two!
It usually takes two lessons for the kids to master this game (the first time might be a disaster, but once they get used to shouting out loud they really get into it!). Once they have got the hang of it, you can move onto the Star Wars: Lightsaber Battle game !
Why is it called the Mr Bump game? Try it and you'll see!
