Ich wünsche …

This activity will engage students in speaking in the subjunctive or Konjunktiv form. One villager starts with a wish, “Ich wünsche, daß ich nach Deutschland fliegen könnte.” The next adds on to this wish with his own desire. Continue around the circle until all have expressed their wishes. Variation: Pair up students. One expresses a wish and the other asks why. After the explanation, the other must express a wish and explain why.
