These are whole-group lively & communicative language learning games, ideal for practicing, reinforcing and consolidating 99 high-frequency German verbs. The games have a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking and reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. They’re perfect for pronunciation practice too. Active learning is a really successful way of developing both language skills and general confidence. The Christmas-theme is really popular around the holidays!

The verbs are in the*** infinitive form***, and the aim of the games is to create a German verb chain as quickly as possible. There are two games, each with a slightly different challenge:

Challenge 1: verbs are in alphabetical order, with the question and answer format: Ich habe… Wer hat… ?

Challenge 2: verbs are in random order, with the question and answer format: Hast du… Ja/Nein, ich habe…

In both challenges, the English translation of the verb appears immediately below the German verbs, which maximises opportunity for really embedding vocabulary. The game works just as well if the cards are placed on a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the games for my advanced beginner German learners, who are ready to move towards intermediate German, but I’ve also played them with my more advanced learners, who really enjoy ’going back to the start’ and having the opportunity to get up, walk about and talk - the games definitely provide some essential variety in learning activities.

There is an alphabetical German-English verb list, featuring all the verbs used in the game. This is useful as a longer-term reference resource too.
