I give my students of all grades and learning phases a whole series of reference lists, that build up into a really comprehensive reference bank over the course of their German program. They’re really popular with my students, as they know they can just go to their reference file or folder, and find what they need. They tell me that they feel far more confident about their German when they have a good grasp of core vocab. They’re great for quick vocab quizzes too.
There are two alphabetical lists - one German-English, and one English-German, as I’ve found that beginner German students prefer to have both as a reference resource. I’ve noted where a verb is separable, irregular or conjugated with sein. If my group is small, I provide students with a set of double-sided and laminated reference resources. My students all have a reference file or folder, again from the beginning of their learning, and part of helping them develop independence in, and responsibility for, their learning, is to give them opportunity to keep their learning resources in good order, and easily accessible.
The verbs are all in the infinitive form - it’s an important step in learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful vocabulary bank, are able to recognize high-frequency German verbs, and are confident with the meaning of those verbs in English - at that point we can move swiftly on to looking at conjugation and using the verbs in a communicative and practical context. We also use our reference lists to help students audit their developing German verb vocabulary.
The list is a great time-saver for teachers too - if you’re preparing resources focusing on high-frequency German verbs for your students, the list is a good starting point.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - German flag, which I generally use for German grammar or German vocabulary display, and plain.
My students find this super simple German verbs recall worksheets freebie really helpful - have a look here:

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 CONJUGATION PRACTICE BUNDLE #1
ALEVEL GCSE GERMAN VERBS CONJUGATION PRESENT PERFECT IMPERFECT TENSES SIXTEEN WORKBOOKS & ANSWER KEYS: REGULAR VERBS : SEPARABLE VERBS : REFLEXIVE VERBS : IRREGULAR & MIXED VERBS : HIGH-FREQUENCY VERBS : VERBS TAKING SEIN IN THE PERFECT TENSE : 2,400 CONJUGATION QUESTIONS My students love these for quick conjugation recall practice, and they're the perfect activity for practice and revision. This is a bundle of sixteen 'quick conjugation' workbooks, which provide students with lots of opportunities to practice how to conjugation a range of high-frequency verbs in German with a focus on three tenses: present, perfect and imperfect. One of the workbooks focuses on verbs taking sein in the perfect tense.<br /> <br /> There are 150 conjugations in each workbook, with an individual focus on particular verbs groups. That's 2,400 quick conjugation questions in total. There is a complete answer key for each individual workbook too - my students really like to have the answer keys, as they find it enables them to work more independently, and they benefit from both self and peer assessment. I find answer keys really essential, as they provide students with additional opportunity to engage with language.<br /> <br /> I've been using the workbooks for a long time, and found they work best when I give my students regular and frequent chances to revisit the workbooks, including noting their thoughts on the Notes and Next Steps template. That really does help them to focus on their progress. We also use the template to guide and inform whole-group discussions about German conjugation in particular and German grammar in general. Even my advanced students get the chance to go 'back to the beginning' and work quickly through the conjugations, just to be sure that they have really grasped the concept. I use the workbooks as classwork, as homework, as 'free choice' resources, holiday refresher and revision work, and also as focused activities for sub lessons. They really do work well in a broad range of contexts.<br /> <br /> The verbs groups are:<br /> <br /> - regular verbs<br /> - irregular and mixed verbs<br /> - regular and irregular separable verbs<br /> - regular and irregular reflexive verbs<br /> - regular and irregular high-frequency verbs<br /> - verbs taking sein in the perfect tense<br /> <br /> The tenses are:<br /> <br /> - present tense (Präsens)<br /> - perfect tense (Perfekt)<br /> - imperfect tense (Präteritum)<br /> <br /> The structure of each quick conjugation workbook is:<br /> <br /> 10-page work book with two alphabetical verb reference lists: German-English and English-German<br /> <br /> Three differentiated conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:<br /> <br /> Conjugation Challenge One: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation.<br /> <br /> Conjugation Challenge Two: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German.<br /> <br /> Conjugation challenge Three: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt.<br /> <br /> * 6-page answer key book which students find really useful, and I actually consider essential for this type of workbook - either to self- or peer-assess - it's also a great time saver for teachers, as well as a way of encouraging students to really assume more responsibility for, and independence in, their learning.<br /> <br /> * Notes and Next Steps page - we use this to map progress, and to note ideas for improvement. We also use it as to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really popular and effective activity. It's also a great place to note any additional verbs that students learn, and this helps to build up a really strong verb vocab bank.<br /> <br /> Try this free-to-download sampler to check whether this kind of activity would work well for your students:<br /> https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-conjugation-practice-example-12154187<br /> <br /> Please read the Terms of Use carefully.
