https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-numbers-0-100-challenge-cards-11741806
German Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of German numbers 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 in German. The translation questions are a great way of introducing beginner German learners to the concept of translation too. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on German Numbers 0-100, but also as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to learn how to count in German, but also to enjoy working with German, and to feel confident about doing so.
All questions are in German, and range in complexity and challenge, both in terms of language and number skills. There are visual prompts such as maths symbols to ensure all learners can engage with the questions, and this helps them to begin to infer meaning from context, and to decode clues and prompts to foster understanding. Some questions focus specifically on German maths language, which students do not always engage with very often. The question card template enables students to*** apply their knowledge of language and arithmetic creatively and practically*** too - students really enjoy creating questions for each other

The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom, in whole or in part, in any way. The license for purchase is a single-use license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** There are ***13 sets of German Challenge Cards*** in this bundle. My students absolutely love challenge cards, and find them really useful for helping them get to grips with their ***German***. Task cards are great for independent learning - students can work at their own pace, in pairs or in small groups, and really focus on the ***target language***. The challenge card questions and templates focus on ***multi-skill language learning***, not focusing solely on the target vocabulary - they provide students with opportunities to ***apply prior learning***, and to encounter ***more complex language*** they may not yet have covered formally in class. There are ***answer keys and recording sheets*** for every set, though my students often just use their notebooks for writing their answers. Some sets have a ***question card template*** too - this is a really popular activity with my students, and they love to create questions for each other. Additionally, this enables them to apply their ***developing understanding of German in a very practical and creative way***. Several sets also have accompanying ***vocabulary lists***, which are great as a learning support resource, as well as a year-round reference resource. I have a series of challenge cards sets ready to go for my students - they're a very popular choice for our ***'free-choice' learning time.*** **Click on the links for detailed challenge card sets descriptions:** ***Set 1: German Dates, Days, Months & Seasons Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-dates-days-months-seasons-challenge-cards-11707477](http://) ***Set 2: German Numbers 0-31 Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-11817183](http://) ***Set 3: German Christmas Numbers 0-31 Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-christmas-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-12015633](http://) ***Set 4: German Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-numbers-0-100-challenge-cards-11741806](http://) ***Set 5: German Fruits Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-fruits-challenge-cards-12587759](http://) ***Set 6: German Vegetables Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-vegetables-challenge-cards-12588063](http://) ***Set 7: German Fruits & Vegetables Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-fruits-and-vegetables-challenge-cards-12588167](http://) ***Set 8: German Telling the Time Challenge Cards : O'clock & Half Past the Hour*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-telling-time-challenge-cards-1-12458846](http://) ***Set 9: German Telling the Time Challenge Cards : Quarter to & Quarter Past the Hour*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-telling-time-challenge-cards-2-12459953](http://) ***Set 10: German Telling the Time Challenge Cards : Range of Analog Clock Times*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-telling-time-challenge-cards-3-12474452](http://) ***Set 11: German Regular Verbs Present Tense Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-present-tense-regular-verbs-2-12244522](http://) ***Set 12: German Irregular Verbs Present Tense Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-present-tense-irregular-verbs-2-12244528](http://) ***Set 13: German Separable Verbs Present Tense Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-separable-verbs-present-tense-challenge-cards-12685367](http://) ***All files are non-editable in a zipped format and include the following:*** * **differentiated question cards**, students don't have to work through all cards at once - they can select cards randomly for short periods of time during lessons, whatever way suits your learning plan best. * **answer recording sheet** - I don't actually always use these - I let students use their work notebooks for answers simply use their notebooks for answers. In some set, I’ve included a sheet with a background, and one without. Similarly, in some sets I’ve also included a blank sheet, with no numbers, which is useful when students are working ‘randomly’ through the cards at different times. * **answer key** - I find having a key essential for students, as it helps them to work and learn independently, and it also offers extra opportunity to engage with language - I tend to laminate sets of answer keys - one answer key for each small group is enough * **question cards template** for students to apply their knowledge practically, and to create questions for each other - this is a really challenging and popular activity, and I encourage students to include other vocab and verbs they know or learn. ***Have a browse in my store for more German teaching and learning resources, with German resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!**

GERMAN CONVERSATION STARTERS BUNDLE #1
**KS3 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS KS4 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS GCSE GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS KS5 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS ALEVEL GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS TWO SETS OF 100 GERMAN CONVERSATION STARTERS @ £2.50** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, and ***increased engagement*** with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is ***integral to successful language learning***. The questions focus largely on the ***present tense***, with some examples of the ***past tenses***. I include tenses we may not have formally covered, as the activity is not solely about ***practising language***, but also about ***actively learning*** it. I encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, and this certainly enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to progress in their learning. Each card has an image: some of these are ***specific visual prompts*** to help students infer meaning; some are more ***generic images***. I do use images as much as possible with this kind of activity, not only to provide the prompt, but also to add to the ***visual appeal*** of it, which is a real ***motivator for learning***. I remind students that it is not necessary to tell the truth - the purpose is to ***create and produce accurate and realistic language***. Students can prepare their responses in as much detail as possible on the accompanying ***planning sheet***, remembering that these are conversation starters, so that once they have responded, they should then say something to keep the conversation going. As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards amongst your students, one or several. Ideally, they should walk around the classroom, asking questions, and swapping cards. For pair or small-group work, students can work in a designated area. This really helps them focus closely on the language, and helps learners who are slightly less confident working with a larger group. ***The starters broadly address the following themes:*** ***Set 1:*** personal information : family & routines at home : hobbies & free time : likes & dislikes : local environment : food & drink school & studies : sport & healthy living countries & languages : weather & seasons ***Set 2:*** music : film & television literature & culture : personal life, information & preferences : leisure & free time : health & well-being : history & society : recent & current events : travel, tourism & holidays technology & social media : likes & dislikes local environment : environmental & social issues : education & studies ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, with special offer bundles, German resource boxes, and lots of freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!**

FACTS ABOUT LANGUAGES BUNDLE #1
**MFL BACK TO SCHOOL ICE-BREAKER WORLD LANGUAGES FACTS FOR ALL MFL CLASSROOMS @ £1.90 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** This bundle combines two sets of 36 facts cards focusing on *world languages*, so 72 facts cards in total. They are a great whole-group learning activity at any time of the school year. They’re particularly useful as *ice-breakers in the back-to-school phase*, as it’s a very social activity, and really gets students up from their desks, walking around talking to each other. The information addresses *a very wide range of languages topics, from world history, history of language, varied fields within linguistics to global languages fact*s for example. The cards are designed for older students, as the facts do r*equire a certain level of world knowledge and language awareness, and particularly world geography*. I always screen a world map first, pointing out continents, countries, regions and territories and so on, because using the cards is also a great way of actually *learning about the world, its history, shifting geographical and political borders, migrating populations* and so on. I use the cards in various ways: for example, a really popular method is the ***walk and talk activity***, where students take a card each, walk around the classroom, exchanging facts - when they’ve shared the information on their card, students swap cards, and carry on walking — in this way, they encounter the same facts a couple of times, which really embeds knowledge. I tend to do this activity several times across the school year, following it up with an informal whole-group quiz, particularly when I feel that students need a break from more formal learning. I also use the cards as either ***entrance or exit cards*** - again, followed by a quick quiz at several points in the year - simply turn the language on the individual cards into a question format. This works really well when students quiz each other, which moves them away from teacher-led learning towards more independent and social learning. *I've included a range of my MFL freebies you may not have seen in my store.

GERMAN IMPERFECT TENSE RESOURCE BOX #1
**GERMAN IMPERFECT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE 5 workbooks @ £1.00 each in the bundle** each workbook focusing on a specific set of ***25 German verbs in the imperfect tense, 3 differentiated conjugation challenges, 150 quick conjugations, complete answer key and verb lists, 750 conjugations in total*** ideal for ***advanced KS3 German and KS4 German*** students who are developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation in ***German***, and working with more complex texts which include a range of tenses. ***The verbs groups are:*** *regular German verbs irregular & mixed German verbs high-frequency German verbs German reflexive verbs German separable verbs* I do tend to introduce the ***perfect tense and imperfect tense*** fairly closely together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with ***English*** for example, particularly in ***spoken German***, and working with both tenses simultaneously allows us to ***contrast and compare usage***. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their ***German*** conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct ***German***, in both oral and written form. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. ***The workbook focuses on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage***, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language and the language they are learning, and with the ***German imperfect tense of separable verbs*** for example, I frequently see attempts such as ***ich war stehen auf / ich war aufstehen for I was getting / standing up*** or similarly ***ich machte / tat aufstehen for I did get / stand up***. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of ***used to...,*** before they understand that the ***notion is implicit in the tense itself***. There are certain complexities with ***German separable verbs***, as learners whose first language does not have equivalent separable verbs can find positioning the ***separable prefix*** correctly quite challenging. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and German***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***present perfect, simple past and the continuous / progressive simple past tense***. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognize and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written German*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***German*** across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I've used these 'quick conjugations' for many years with my ***German*** classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in ***German***. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***German*** conjugation 'works'. ***Each set has the following structure:*** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: German-English and English-German. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. ***Notes and Next Steps*** sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank. We also use this to guide our whole-group discussions about conjugation and German grammar, and learning and progress in general - this is a really successful and popular activity. ***answer key***: there are 6 pages in the answer key book - for me, answer keys are an essential and integral part of learning with these kinds of workbooks - they give my students an additional opportunity to engage with language, they certainly help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy 'correcting' their own, and especially each other's work. ***Try this free sampler to see if it's the kind of activity that would work well in your German classrooms:*** **GERMAN CONJUGATION PRACTICE FREE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-conjugation-practice-sampler-12154187](http://) ***Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses:*** present tense *(Präsens)* perfect tense *(Perfekt)* imperfect tense *(Präteritum)* future tense *(Futur I)* conditional tense *(Konjuktiv II, Futur I)* pluperfect tense *(Plusquamperfekt)* future perfect tense *(Konjuktiv I, Futur II)* conditional perfect tense *(Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt)* ***Have a browse in my store for more German grammar activities, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning resources, with special offer bundles, resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *This resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format.

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.

It's actually really useful to introduce the ***pluperfect tense in German*** quite closely with the ***perfect tense***, as the patterns are identical, and it allows students to ***compare and contrast*** the tenses, and to practise both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they're learning and using them together. Similarly, I do tend to introduce the ***perfect tense and imperfect tense*** together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with *English* for example, particularly in *spoken German*. *The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage*, but I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their *German* conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct *German*, in both ***oral and written form***.

For example, with the ***German imperfect tense***, with students whose first language is *English*, I frequently see attempts such as ***ich war machen for I was doing / making*** or similarly ***ich machte arbeiten for I did work***. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of ***used to...***, before they understand that the ***notion is implicit in the tense itself***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between *English and German*, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the various tenses. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***fixed conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written German*** is accurate, and that their understanding of *German* across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust.

GERMAN REGULAR VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #2
**GCSE GERMAN KS4 GERMAN KS3 GERMAN REGULAR VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 6 workbooks & tenses @ 75p each in the bundle** *featuring 25 high-frequency regular German verbs in the present, perfect, imperfect, future, conditional and pluperfect tenses, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 900 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists* ideal for ***KS3 German*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in *German* to ***KS4 German*** students who have a sound baseline understanding of conjugation and tense in *German*, are working regularly with the notion of past tense in *German*, and distinguishing between verbs that are conjugated with either ***haben or sein in the perfect and pluperfect*** tense. It's actually really useful to introduce the ***pluperfect tense in German*** quite closely with the ***perfect tense***, as the patterns are identical, and it allows students to ***compare and contrast*** the tenses, and to practise both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they're learning and using them together. Similarly, I do tend to introduce the ***perfect tense and imperfect tense*** together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with *English* for example, particularly in *spoken German*. *The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage*, but I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their *German* conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct *German*, in both ***oral and written form***. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language with the patterns and rules of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***German imperfect tense***, with students whose first language is *English*, I frequently see attempts such as ***ich war machen for I was doing / making*** or similarly ***ich machte arbeiten for I did work***. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of ***used to...***, before they understand that the ***notion is implicit in the tense itself***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between *English and German*, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the various tenses. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***fixed conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written German*** is accurate, and that their understanding of *German* across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I've used these 'quick conjugations' for many years with my *German* classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in *German*. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how *German* conjugation 'works'. **The tenses are:** present tense *(Präsens)* perfect tense *(Perfekt)* imperfect tense *(Präteritum)* future tense *(Futur I)* conditional tense *(Konjuktiv II, Futur I)* pluperfect tense *(Plusquamperfekt)* **Each set has the following structure:** *Two alphabetical verb reference lists*: German-English and English-German. *Three conjugation challenges*, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. *Notes and Next Steps* sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank.

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.
