Children work in pairs or small groups with a shared Word Mat.
Child A has a set of animal cards and a set of toy cards.

The cards can be pictures and text, pictures only, text only or a mixture of all 3 versions.
They could even be a mixture of languages! Each version is available to download separately.

Child A turns over a card from the pile to reveal an animal. Child B greets appropriately, “Hallo Elefant!”, “Hallo kleiner Affe!”, “Hallo Pinguine!” and chooses phrase from Word Mat to ask about choice of present – “Was wünschst du dir zu Weihnachten?”  “Was wünscht ihr euch zu Weihnachten?”

Child A then turns over a card from a separate pile to reveal a toy or present and chooses a phrase to express preference – “Ich wünsche mir…”, “Ich hätte wirklich gerne...”, “Wir hätten gerne...” etc

The pair or group could then write a simple script and act out the dialogue.
The cards are also suitable for matching and memory games.
