A Pelmanism/Matching Cards game with pictures and vocabulary for twelve common phrases to describe the weather in German.
Click on the image below to download and see the notes beneath that for a description of the game. I suggest printing onto card so that the images are not visible through paper.
Pelmanism
Students work in small teams of 3 – 6. They shuffle the cards and lay them all face down on the table. Students take it in turns to select two cards, aiming to find a matching pair. If they find one, they keep the cards and take another turn. If not, they must return the cards to where they found them.
