PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 GERMAN NUMBERS GAMES ACTIVITIES German Numbers 0-31 I have, Who has… ? This is a whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing how to count from 0 - 31 in German. The game has a***multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading out loud***, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too.
The aim of the game is to create a German number chain as quickly as possible, starting with the first card null, and ending with the final card, einunddreißig. The game works just as well if the number sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my young beginner German learners, but I’ve also played the game with my adult German learners, who really enjoy it too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are starting to familiarize themselves with the written word, and how to link sound with spelling. Try to print in colour if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning - and the monster theme is popular with all ages and grades!
Download, print out, laminate, cut out & shuffle the cards. I’d definitely recommend you laminate the cards, despite the extra prep and expense. They’re far more learner-friendly, and they will last for absolutely years. Distribute the cards, one or two per student, depending on how many students you have in your group. I often play too - students really do enjoy it when I join in, and they seem to work that little harder on their concentration, pronunciation and reading out loud skills. Students walk around the room, talking to each other in their best German accent, sharing the information on their cards, until they have arranged the numbers in the correct order. The game works best played against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - can students beat beat their own time record? I always do some high-speed counting warm-up activities, forwards & backwards, to get everyone ready to play!

GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS
**KS3 GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES ACTIVITIES CHALLENGE CARDS 108 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS @ £1.25 each in the bundle** really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of fruits and vegetables in *German* in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a *bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling*. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and *develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words and more complex sentences in German*. Sentence structure and word order may differ from students’ first and/or home language, so it’s important to provide them with opportunities to engage with language that moves beyond single-unit vocabulary as soon as possible. It also gives them chance to *apply language in a practical, real-world context*, which in turn helps embed both vocab and grammatical concepts into longer-term memory. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on the target vocab, but also to work on *German language skills* in general, such as cases, adjectival endings, *grammatical structures such as um… zu + infinitive* and so on. The goal is not simply to learn the target vocabulary in *German*, but also to enjoy working with *German*, and to feel confident about doing so. The questions are all in *German*, and range in complexity and challenge. I usually read through questions before my students work with the cards for the first time, to ensure that everyone understands any new or unknown language and structures. I make sure though to give them chance to *infer meaning from context, and to use any visual clues to decode language*. It’s definitely useful for students to have access to an appropriate bilingual dictionary - not only does that help develop literacy skills, but there will probably be some fruits and vegetables that students may not know. There are *35 fruits and 37 vegetables* addressed in the challenge cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently. I’ve provided alphabetical *German-English and English-German fruits and vegetables lists* in case you don’t have access to bilingual dictionaries. I’ve used *masculine and feminine fruits, definite and indefinite article, and singular and plural* - this really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction. There are some*translation questions* too - both from *German to English and English to German*, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity, which is definitely useful for them to know from the very beginning of their learning. The *question card template* enables students to apply their*knowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically* too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other, and I encourage them to use the existing questions as a frame of reference as they create their own, and to include fruits that are not already in the fruits vocab list. The cards are in colour, as I've found that with this particular target vocab, the colour is an integral element to learning. I always laminate the cards though - not only are they far more learner-friendly, but far better value in the longer-term, as they last for absolutely years. **The bundle consists of 3 individual, non-editable sets of cards, each containing the following:** * *Set of 36 question cards*, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. For younger and beginner learners, I always use a larger size card to ensure that language is sufficiently accessible, particularly when we’re working with longer and more complex sentences. It also ensures that students who find language learning a little extra challenging are not discouraged by dense print of new or unknown language. * *2-page answer recording sheet*. Best printed double-sided. We don't always use a recording sheet - I tend to get my students to use their class workbooks for this kind of activity, as it saves prep time and paper, and also gives students an easily-accessible record of their learning when they repeat the activity. * *2-page answer key*, again best printed double-sided, and laminated for longevity. One answer key for each small group is sufficient. Answer keys are great - they're the perfect teacher time-saver, but also provide students with a really valuable additional opportunity to engage with language - and they genuinely enjoy correcting their own, and especially each others' work! * *alphabetical fruits & vegetables lists*, German-English & English-German. Best printed double-sided. ***Have a browse in my store for more German active learning activities, with a wide range of other German language teaching and learning materials, with lots of freebies too!*** *The resource is non-editable in a zipped format.

GERMAN VOCABULARY CARDS BUNDLE #2
**PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 VOCABULARY, featuring 297 key beginner German words and phrases that will really give your students a flying start German @ £1.65 each in the bundle**. *There are three sets, each set consisting of 198 matching German and English vocabulary cards, so that's 594 vocabulary cards in total, with an 18-page Reference, Recall and Write workbook, featuring all the words and phrases written out in full, plus three differentiated recall challenges.* There's definitely some prep involved with the cards - printing, laminating and cutting out - but they will definitely last for years! The workbooks are good to go - print and photocopy, using the staple function on the copier, which will automatically create the workbooks for you. **Written Recall Challenge 1**: students write the English word or phrase from a German prompt **Written Recall Challenge 2**: students write the German word or phrase from an English prompt **Written Recall Challenge 3**: the words and phrases appear randomly, alternating German and English, which is a real memory challenge! **The bundle features words and phrases in the following vocabulary groups:** *Begrüßungen die Zahlen 0-60 die Tage der Woche die Monate des Jahres die vier Jahreszeiten das Wetter der Körper / die Körperteile die Farben meine Familie Tiere Obst und Gemüse Schulfächer Alltagswörter Deutsch im Klassenzimmer Fragen und Antworten* Encourage students to complete the *Notes and Next Steps* template, which helps them to reflect on their learning, and to set progress targets. My students also note down any relevant new vocabulary here too. The workbooks are also ideal for directed class time, sub lessons, homework and revision *All files are non-editable in zipped formats.

GERMAN PHONICS PRONUNCIATION SPELLING BUNDLE #1
**KS3 KS4 GERMAN PRONUNCIATION RHYMING WORDS PHONICS SPELLING PRACTICE - 99 WORDS FOCUSING ON PHONICS, SOUNDS AND RHYMES - CARDS AND WHOLE-GROUP PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE - 198 WORDS FOCUSING ON PHONICS, SOUNDS, SPELLING AND RHYMES - CARDS AND TWO WHOLE-GROUP PRONUNCIATION PRESENTATIONS @ £2.00 each in the bundle** There are 198 cards featuring a range of *sounds in German*, and a *whole-group presentation and practice* resource. We revisit the activities frequently to help students develop *phonic awareness* and a thorough understanding of how *German* spelling and sounds work. I've found that students are quickly able to *recognize sound patterns*, enabling them to *predict the pronunciation* of new words accurately. The whole-group presentations are non-editable for copyright reasons, but move forward via a click as a slide show, with all the rhymes and corresponding sounds grouped together - I often use these at the beginning of the lesson, or a 5-minute pronunciation and speaking break during a lesson, again at very regular intervals. I always encourage students to look carefully at all parts of a particular word, not just the focus sound: for example ***Hochhaus*** - the focus sound is ***au***, but the ***ch*** sound is equally important. The resource works well for my *German* students at all stages of learning, from beginner to advanced. We use the card template for students to add corresponding sounds/rhymes that they know, or learn, over time. I allocate 10-15 minutes frequently to focus on pronunciation and sounds - this really does help students *develop authentic German pronunciation.* Laminate the cards if possible - it's definitely quite a bit of prep, but it's well worth it in the longer-term - they are far more learner-friendly, and will remain in excellent condition for years. I’ve included a set without a background, as that is not as expensive to prep as the colour - I do create colour-coded sets for my students when I can, as it helps them to identify different resources, but they are fine without color too. I've also included a range of my popular *German *freebies that you may not have seen in my store. *The files are non-editable for copyright reasons. They are copyright, all rights reserved.
