A busy little office full of things to find: tap each object in the picture, then give it its article.

  1. 1A compound takes the gender of its last part
  2. 2Machines in -er are masculine — machines in -e are not
  3. 3English office words are usually das
Why this matters

A picture hunt instead of a deck: one small, slightly cluttered office with 32 things to find in it, every one a noun you need when you talk about your working day — der Drucker, die Tastatur, das Whiteboard, der Klebebandabroller on the desk. The prompt asks Wo ist der Papierkorb? and you tap it in the picture. Each find shows its label, coloured by its gender, then leaves a small tick in that colour, so you can see what you have already found. Once you have passed a run, the hunt turns harder: the prompt hides the article (Wo ist ___ Papierkorb?), and after the find you choose der, die or das yourself. A tap on bare wall costs nothing; a tap on the wrong object tells you what you hit and you keep looking, and after three misses the right one is shown. No object is asked twice in the same run.
