KS3 GERMAN GCSE REGULAR VERBS PRESENT TENSE ACTIVITIES These challenge cards focus on conjugatingregular German verbs in the present tense. They are perfect for KS3 German and refreshing KS4 German. This kind of activity really does help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their conjugation skills in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The questions 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 in German in general, and certainly in conjugating regular German verbs in the present tense in particular. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on conjugation, but also as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to learn how conjugation works, and how patterns can be identified and applied, it’s also about enjoying working with German, and to feel confident about doing so.

The questions range in complexity and challenge, and some call upon prior and new knowledge too, helping students make links and build bridges in their learning. There may be some vocabulary that students are not familiar with - these questions give them the opportunity to learn and apply new language too. Other grammatical concepts are addressed in the questions too, such as gender agreement, direct and indirect objects, personal pronouns and word order in German.

The set comprises the following non-editable files:

Set of 36 question cards, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper

answer key: answer keys are integral to this kind of learning activity - they provide learners with additional opportunity to engage with language and help them develop more independence in their learning.

4 question cards template: creating new language enables learners to apply language practically, and gives them opportunity to think about how language works

alphabetical verb list, German-English, 60 high-frequency regular verbs: I encourage students to add any new verbs they learn, which in time creates a really comprehensive verb vocabulary bank

answer recording sheet: for this set, I do have my students use their class workbooks to note their answers, as the longer and more complex sentences would be difficult to fit into the answer grid.
