PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 GERMAN BEGINNER GERMAN TELLING THE TIME ANALOGUE O’CLOCK LIST WITH MATCHING CLOCK FACES I like to give visual vocabulary lists to my young beginner learners of German, as they can generally more easily assimilate new language and vocabulary when they are able to***link it in their memory with a visual image***, and it’s particularly important to match a clock time with the corresponding clock face when learning how to tell the time. Children glue the lists into their German vocabulary books, or file them in their German vocabulary folders with other vocabulary lists, which gives them an accessible and useful German vocabulary reference bank for both class and home learning.
For young and / or beginner German learners, I focus initially on a single time set, and this list shows o’clock on a single page. This is because in my experience students benefit from a very clear outline of new language and vocabulary, avoiding lots of text on a single page - even my older students who are completely new to German prefer this. When I’m sure that students are confident with o’clock, I then move on to additional time sets.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - German flag, which I use for German vocabulary display, or plain.

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 TELLING THE TIME CHALLENGE CARDS
**PRIMARY GERMAN TELLING TIME KS2 GERMAN TELLING TIME KS3 GERMAN TELLING THE TIME CHALLENGE CARDS THREE SETS OF 60 CHALLENGE CARDS @ £1.50 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***Files are non-editable in zipped formats. 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.*** These ***German telling the time*** challenge cards are perfect for ***developing German language skills*** in general, as well as for practising and revising ***how to tell the time in German***. Each set has 60 cards, divided into two sets of 30 questions, and includes a full answer key and a recording sheet. The cards have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling***, and really help students develop more independence in their learning, moving away from more teacher-led tasks and activities. Challenge cards are really versatile too - we use them not only when we're focusing on the target vocabulary and structures, but throughout the year as starters and refreshers. The goal is not simply to learn and practice ***how to tell the time in German***, but also to enjoy working independently with language, and to feel confident about doing so. Students tend to find half past the hour and quarter to / past the hour in ***German*** quite challenging, and the focused practice is really useful. The questions across the three sets are a straightforward introduction to, and practice of, a range of ***German analogue clock times*** for students, and also to working and learning with task cards. I generally work with ***telling the time in German*** quite quickly with my ***beginner German*** students, as it lends itself really well to promoting speaking in the classroom, discussing daily routines for example. There are two questions: ***Wie spät ist es / Wie viel Uhr ist es?*** with a particular clock face, and students write the response on their recording sheet or in their workbooks. The second question is ***Richtig oder falsch?*** and students write either ***richtig*** or ***falsch*** - where the answer is ***falsch***, remind students to write the correct time for additional consolidation. The ***question card template*** enables students to apply their knowledge of language and time creatively and practically, which is integral to successful language learning. It's also a really popular activity too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other. I prepare each set on different color paper, so that when students are using multiple sets, we can sort them into the relevant set really easily. The cards are numbered 1-60 in words, so students should recap those numbers before they work with the task cards. There are two ***German numbers 0-100*** number reference lists in my store which you can download for free - my students find them really useful. ***Each set comprises the following non-editable files:*** ***60 cards***, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Laminating is definitely worth the extra prep time and expense, as the cards are far more learner-friendly, and stay in excellent condition for a long time, so you'll be able to recycle them for years. ***2-page answer recording sheet***. Best printed double-sided to save paper. My students generally use their class workbooks to note their answers, though I do use recording sheets for more formal assessment purposes. ***2-page answer key***, again best printed double-sided, and laminated if possible. For me, answer keys are an integral element to this kind of learning activity. They offer students an additional opportunity to engage with language, and to develop more independence in their learning. They’re also a great teacher time-saver, which is always a good thing! I distribute one answer key per small group when we're working with the task cards in class time. ***Have a browse in my store for more German independent learning activities, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning materials, 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!**
