Working with the Hamsterkiste

The Hamster Box is evolving

We are currently adding to many of our topic pages and redesigning them as a modular system with weekly plans.

These new pages

consist of slides that can be projected with a projector and/or viewed independently on a tablet.
are divided into chapters,
each contain one or more pictures,
plus study sentences to complete and write out for the reading passages
also usually five writing exercises each,
include extra exercises for children who are a little quicker than others,
always with one side "If you want to know more ..."
and a colouring sheet
include ideas for classroom activities
discontinue the previous Hamsterkiste tests, which were mainly designed as multiple-choice exercises.

This might be particularly interesting:

The picture pages can also be downloaded, printed and used to build a learning flashcard set . However, this is only permitted for teachers whose school has purchased a license . We trust you to be honest and fair.
Other pages are only lightly modified. They consist of one or a few images, a longer text and one or more fill-in-the-blank exercises.
