Warm-Up

Ask the students the following questions:

Stellen Sie den Schülern die folgenden Fragen:

  • Welche solzialen Netzwerke hast du? (Which social networks do you have?)
  • Welche Technik nutzt du? (Which technologies do you use?)
  • Magst du lieber Apple oder Android? (Do you prefer Apple or Android?)

Main Activity

Students will play Heads-Up with technology cards. Divide the students into two teams. Deal out the technology cards, face down. One player from each team will choose a card, not look at the card, and put the card facing out on their forehead. The other teammates will give hints to the first player so the first player can guess the word. Time each word at 1.30 minutes. The team, at the end,  with the most correctly guessed cards is the winner.

Die Schüler spielen Heads-up mit Technologiekarten. Teilen Sie die Schüler in zwei Teams auf. Verteilen Sie die Technologiekarten verdeckt. Ein Spieler aus jedem Team wählt eine Karte aus, schaut sich die Karte nicht an und legt die Karte mit der Vorderseite nach außen auf seine Stirn. Die anderen Teamkollegen geben dem ersten Spieler Hinweise, damit der erste Spieler das Wort erraten kann. Geben sie jedes Wort nur1:30 Minuten. Am Ende hat das Team mit den am meisten erratenen Karten gewonnen.
