Frühstuck rund um die Welt

Use the www.nutella.de website to find out about breakfast in different countries in Europe and healthy food for a professional footballer.
Click on ‘Aufstehn! Dein Nutalla Magazin’ and then Frühstuck rund um die Welt.
Go through the five pages which describe simply in German with nice sound effects, which foods are eaten in Spain, France, Switzerland, Austria and Holland.  The key words are highlighted and the meanings of these can be discussed.
 
You are then taken automatically to the next section ‘der richtige Kick’. Here a list of foods that football players should eat in the lead up to a match are described including the ‘Nudelparty’ that should take place the night before!
 
On each page key words are highlighted, which pupils can work out.  There is also a strapline summary of each page which pupils can work out though knowledge of cognates, such as:
Kartoffeln machen fit!
Finally there are a few pages of Fuβballwissen (football facts)
 
If there is a problem accessing this site, see the attached Powerpoint with screengrabs. ppt "healthy eating breakfast in europe"
 
There is a lot more to this site, such as the links at the bottom.  If you click on the man heading the football you are taken through a day in the life of a football coach with sound effects, which can be used to teach and practise daily routine.
 
Relevance to the New Curriculum

Key concepts
Linguistic competence: developing the skills of reading in a range of situations and contexts (vocabulary for food, countries and daily routine)

Creativity: using familiar language in a new context
Intercultural understanding: developing an international outlook: finding out about breakfasts in other European countries; recognising that there are different ways of seeing the world: compare the way that healthy living is taught in Germany and the UK.
 
Key processes
Developing language-learning strategies: skim and scan written texts for the main points or details; use context and other clues to work out meaning
 
Developing language skills: respond appropriately to written texts
