NEUERBURG - Lesson planning

GERMANY

Tomorrow, my Ü-klasse is being upgraded from doing Heads, shoulders knees and toes. We are going to play that game called consequences, the one where you write a name, then fold the paper over, pass it on to someone else, then they write what happens etc.

I just read that back to myself. If you've never played consequences before and don't know the rules, then I imagine you're still in the black, but I really can't be arsed explaining it because I'm so bored of thinking.

After consequences, if I haven't managed to drag it out for 45 minutes, we will play 20 Questions (idea courtesy of Daniel Brooks, thankyou for that one mate) probably with varying degrees of success. If both of these fail, I'm taking my laptop so I can improvise and we can look at British things, maybe songs (Thankyou to Sophie Walker for that suggestion) and see how it goes from there.

No onslaught of boredom or whingeing can't be silenced by the Internet.
