The Painting

The video lasts approximately 20 minutes and is designed as the core component of a 40-minute lesson. With built-in pauses for participation, repetition and movement, there is plenty of time for follow-up activities using the accompanying worksheets and lesson plan. An entertaining and confidence-building introduction to German that sets the tone for the entire series.

Which Colours Can You See in the Painting?

In this third episode, Felix and Franzi join Emma on a colourful journey into the world of colours. Together, they explore a vibrant painting and help pupils learn the most important colour words in German. Through catchy songs, simple repetition activities and short interactive tasks, children discover the names of different colours in German and talk about their own favourite colours. Exploring colours through "The Painting" not only helps to build vocabulary but also boosts children's creative confidence, strengthens their engagement with the German language, and makes learning both fun and memorable.
