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 BUNDLE

**KS3 GERMAN KS4 GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS 108 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS @ £3.00 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***The resource is non-editable in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** The questions have a ***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 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. 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. There are alphabetical ***German-English and English-German fruits and vegetables lists*** withmasculine 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 several***translation questions*** , 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 theirknowledge 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 and vegetables that are not already in the vocabulary lists. ***Each set comprises:*** = 36 question cards*, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper = answer key & recording sheet = alphabetical fruits & vegetables lists, German-English & English-German ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND GUTEN APPETIT!**
