German Time Worksheets

(0)
Wie spät ist es? 'Die Zeit’ worksheets will help students with learning, understanding, reading and writing time in German. These low-prep activities will encourage students to read and write German time phrases independently in different fun ways. The worksheets have clocks that range from** easy** (worksheets A) to challenging (worksheets D) so differentiation is easy and there is something suitable for different abilities. There are different activities - read, cover, write, match clocks and time vocabulary, unscramble letters, and word searches so there is something for everyone. These activities are also ideal for consolidating reading and writing German numbers to 12. The worksheets are ideal for independent tasks that students can get on with as you are teaching others. I have found that providing different activities gives students the option of choosing something they will find interesting so they are more engaged in their learning. Combine the worksheets with other time activities, to give you a complete and fun lesson to practice & perfect German time vocabulary. Here is what you will get: 18 Worksheets - Worksheets Level A - o’clock - …UHR Worksheets Level B - o’clock & half past - …UHR & HALB … - (ideal to reinforce the difference between half past … and halb … in German) Worksheets Level C - o’clock, half past, quarter to & past - …UHR, HALB …, VIERTEL VOR …, VIERTEL NACH … Worksheets Level D - o’clock, half past, quarter to & past & minutes - …UHR, HALB …, VIERTEL VOR …, VIERTEL NACH … MINUTEN All levels include: Read, say, cover, write, check Match time phrase and clock Unscramble letters and write times Write times (from memory) to match the clock Levels A & B also have Wordsearches Answers for self-assessments Great for you: Low-prep - print Great for your German language centre Great as independent activities as part of a lesson Ideal for early finishers Extra vocabulary practice for Zeit - time in German Ideal if you need a quick resource e.g. for supply days Great for your students: Easy to understand what to do Choice of activities will keep them engaged 1 is the easiest activity & 4 the hardest - the activities tend to get harder so there is a sequence to work through If you like this resource, I would appreciate it if you could leave a review and Thank you & Danke Please check out TES Shop (UK) Copyright © OwletLearning.

Are you looking for fun segmenting and spelling games for digraphs ck, ff, ll, ss, zz and qu? Get your reception children excited to read, segment and spell words with the letters on the dice. They will love these activities which will help them recognise the first digraphs they will probably learn and choose the correct letters to ‘build’ the word. Why choose dice rather than get students to write? Some children at this age are reluctant to write but we still need them to practice spelling so playing engaging games solves this issue. Building words using these dice makes spelling fun. Use these games to revise and consolidate learning about spelling digraphs in fun ways. This can be a big step up from reading CVC words as students have to recognize that 2 letters together can make 1 sound. They will become more confident and fluent in their spelling and reading as they recognize these digraphs quickly. You will get: 70 words with and without the vowel in a different colour for added support with and without dots and lines under the letters and arrows to show the direction of blending the words in colour and black and white with a dyslexic font - these words also have less clipart and a pastel-coloured background to make it easier to read 6 dice 2 vowel dice 4 consonant dice a table with the words that are used instructions on how to play the games teaching notes a card to score points won e.g. tally marks **Great for you: ** Ideal opportunity to assess and teach about digraphs ck, ff, ll, ss, zz and qu Great as independent activities as part of a lesson Great for your centres Use them for morning work Ideal for fun homework Use them for early finishers Ideal for extra fun segmenting and spelling practice Use them when you need some fun activities with educational content Ideal if you need a resource e.g. for supply teachers Easy assessment Great for your students: Popular to play & easy to understand activities Great opportunities to learn together and discuss blending and segmenting digraphs with instant self-assessment Home Education: Ideal to use as part of a lesson practicing spelling words with ‘easier’ digraphs Great activities outside formal teaching times - ‘drip feeding’ learning into other parts of the day If you like this resource, I would appreciate a review and thank you.
