Overview:

This novice-mid to novice-high German activity introduces students to the Inde-Rockband Sportfreunde Stiller. The musicians are big soccer fans and created a song highlighting the few championships that Germany claims. They rewrote the song in 2010 in anticipation of another big win. Students are asked to study both the song and the lyrics to determine the goal of each version of the song. They are provided a copy of the German lyrics and asked to compare the 2006 and 2010 versions to identify differences. Students are also asked to identify the numbers used in the song and write them out to practice numerical vocabulary words. Finally, students examine other key vocabulary words and phrases throughout the authentic text.
