If they land on a picture they have to say what they did at Christmas: 1pt for a short answer e.g. Ich habe sehr viel gegessen. 2pts if extended e.g. Letztes Jahr habe ich Truthahn und Gemüse mit meiner Familie gegessen. 3pts if an opinion is added to an extended answer. The pictures are a just a guide i.e. picture of a turkey represents anything to do with eating, meals etc. Players could also use future tense / structures to say what they are going to do this Christmas. If a player lands on a question mark square, they pick up a (chance) card from the middle, work out what it means using help sheet, and win or lose points. Great for practising tenses, encouraging extension and ambition, and allowing for peer evaluation and fun interaction.
