Deutsch Ich bin heute gut drauf , weil ich heute Deutsch habe You ask as many students to come to the front of the class as there are placards for the specific combination of sentences you will be using, and each student holds one placard. You then say aloud one of the possible sentences, and the students who have the relevant cards line up appropriately from left to right holding up the placards, forming the sentence you said, while the other students hide their placards from view. Some students don't pick up the correct position of the verb in German intuitively, and like to know what the parts of a sentence are.
