This guide consists of 156 language games and class activities. It is a compilation of the activities used in a first-year German course at the University of Texas at Austin. Each activity is described by level of student experience and within one of three overall categories: materials used (objects, props, cards, pictures, stories), objectives (getting acquainted, sequence, time, alphabet/spelling, pronunciation, numbers), or techniques (commands, guessing, simulating, categorizing, associating). An introductory section discusses strategies and techniques for the use of games to stimulate student participation, and a brief annotated bibliography of related publications is appended. (MSE)
