My costume was the best of all today; I dressed as someone who forgot it was Halloween, and golly was it a convincing outfit!
The morning was spent using the previously-given handouts to fill out a review form over the vocabulary and verbs we've been using the past few weeks, for in 2 weeks from now we will have a quiz. And we had donuts, because donuts are superior to candy in every way.
Most of our time over the day was spent doing our scavenger hunt or "Schatzsuch" (treasure search, literally) wherein I gave the students a page of riddles, which they then had to translate and figure out in order to find all the various objects (toy animals) I hid all across the school. This is why the ladies who were laboring away to prepare the club's dinner tonight were asked by a bunch of teenagers if they'd seen a giraffe in the refrigerator.
The winning groups were the two groups of girls, who tied with 9 correct finds, so they won the right not to have to take the garbage out for the next two weeks; the boys came in second by default, so they won't have to take out the garbage the third week after that.
Finally we tied it all together by re-examining the Schatzsuch's answers (like "der Schaf ist unter dem Tisch) as a segue into the dative case, used for spatial location and indirect objects.
The homework for tonight:
Make a riddle about some object currently in the classroom.
Include at least 3 clues, speaking to what it looks like and where it is located.
