I'm a fan of Kahoot, Quizizz, and Quizlet Live. All three games provide a fun way to practice material, and each has its own strengths and classroom situations when it works best.
I really like the way Quizizz allows students to work at their own pace. It also shows the answer choices on students' own screens, which can be very helpful if the answers are long or quite similar to each other. I have also had classes which are not mature enough to handle the whole-class competitive aspects of Kahoot (or choosing an appropriate name), and Quizizz offers a good alternative.
As I was looking at my collection of Quizizz this week, I found a Quizizz made by another teacher for the German alphabet:
It asks students about the German names for the letters of the alphabet:
My students usually really need practice in hearing and recognizing a letter of the alphabet.
As I was looking at this Quizizz, I found that you can upload 10 second MP3 files or record yourself very easily to give an audio clue. Perfect!
I found a great website, https://www.thoughtco.com/the-german-alphabet-1444644, which has individual MP3 files for the letter of the alphabet which you can download.
I'm going to record myself spelling words as well for my students to practice, and there are lots more possibilities for listening practice on Quizizz with this function. I hope you find it useful as well!
