For teachers: you can play one game with your students called “Mein Teekesselchen”. You say: “Mein Teekesselchen ist/kann…” or ” In/mit/auf meinem Teekesselchen kann man…” and the students guess which word you are looking for. You should give them one sentence for each part of the homophone-pair. That way they will be able to guess better. For example, you could say: Auf meinem Teekesselchen kann man sitzen + In meinem Teekesselchen kann man sparen ->>> die Bank.
