Field Trip auf Deutsch!

After spending a few classes talking about "ich möchte..." (I would like...), "es kostet..." (it costs...), and food vocabulary (a favorite for all of us!), I decided to take my German class on a field trip to the grocery store and a local bakery.

First, the students gave directions to the driver in German.  Of course, everyone knew where the grocery store was, but they had to remember a previous unit on giving directions in order to get the car to Hieber's.

At the grocery store, the students completed a scavenger hunt.  They had to look for different types of apples, the price of a salmon filet, and other information throughout the store.  All the while, they were to remain quiet and subdued, so as to blend culturally with the German shoppers.  (As if holding a piece of paper and pencil in a grocery store wouldn't make them stand out...)

After the scavenger hunt, we drove to Heitzmann's to order pastries and drinks.  If they didn't use correct vocabulary or grammar, I got to eat what they ordered!  Needless to say, no one messed that one up. :)

Das machtet viel Spaß!
