Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of German numbers in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They are also ideal for developing German language skills in general, providing students with opportunity to engage with reading, writing and spelling in German.
The activity is versatile, and useful in a range of learning contexts - great for starters, finishers, refreshers, revision activities and sub / cover lessons. The questions are all in German for maximum language engagement. They range in complexity and challenge, both in terms of number and language. The questions also give students the chance to work with German mathematical language.
The set comprises the following non-editable files:
= 8 differentiated question cards - I always laminate my language learning cards, as they’re more learner-friendly, and remain in excellent condition for years, so it’s worth the extra prep time and expense. I often simply distribute the page of question cards, rather than cutting out the individual cards, which is great for pair and small-group work in class time.
= answer key & recording sheet - my students generally use their class workbooks for working out and noting down their responses, though the sheets are definitely useful for more formal assessment purposes.
I don’t let students use calculators with the activity - this definitely makes them concentrate more.

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!**
GERMAN CONVERSATION STARTERS BUNDLE #1
**KS3 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS KS4 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS GCSE GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS KS5 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS ALEVEL GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS TWO SETS OF 100 GERMAN CONVERSATION STARTERS @ £3.75 EACH** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, and ***increased engagement*** with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is ***integral to successful language learning***. The questions focus largely on the ***present tense***, with some examples of the ***past tenses***. I include tenses we may not have formally covered, as the activity is not solely about ***practising language***, but also about ***actively learning*** it. I encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, and this certainly enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to progress in their learning. Each card has an image: some of these are ***specific visual prompts*** to help students infer meaning; some are more ***generic images***. I do use images as much as possible with this kind of activity, not only to provide the prompt, but also to add to the ***visual appeal*** of it, which is a real ***motivator for learning***. I remind students that it is not necessary to tell the truth - the purpose is to ***create and produce accurate and realistic language***. Students can prepare their responses in as much detail as possible on the accompanying ***planning sheet***, remembering that these are conversation starters, so that once they have responded, they should then say something to keep the conversation going. As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards amongst your students, one or several. Ideally, they should walk around the classroom, asking questions, and swapping cards. For pair or small-group work, students can work in a designated area. This really helps them focus closely on the language, and helps learners who are slightly less confident working with a larger group. ***The starters broadly address the following themes:*** ***Set 1:*** personal information : family & routines at home : hobbies & free time : likes & dislikes : local environment : food & drink school & studies : sport & healthy living countries & languages : weather & seasons ***Set 2:*** music : film & television literature & culture : personal life, information & preferences : leisure & free time : health & well-being : history & society : recent & current events : travel, tourism & holidays technology & social media : likes & dislikes local environment : environmental & social issues : education & studies ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, with special offer bundles, German resource boxes, and lots of freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!**
FACTS ABOUT LANGUAGES BUNDLE #1
**BACK TO SCHOOL ICE-BREAKERS FACTS ABOUT LANGUAGES TWO SET OF 36 FACTS CARDS @ £3.50 EACH** ***The resource is non-editable in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** The facts focus on ***world languages***, and is a great whole-group learning activity at any time of the school year. They’re particularly useful as***ice-breakers in the back-to-school phase***, as it’s a very social activity, and really gets students up from their desks, walking around talking to each other. The information addresses a very wide range of languages topics, from ***world history, history of language, varied fields within linguistics to global languages facts*** for example. The cards are designed for older students, as the facts do require a certain level of ***world knowledge and language awareness***, and particularly ***world geography***. I always screen a world map first, pointing out continents, countries, regions and territories and so on, because using the cards is also a great way of actually ***learning about the world, its history, shifting geographical and political borders, migrating populations*** and so on. I use the cards in various ways: for example, a really popular method is the ***walk and talk activity***, where students take a card each, walk around the classroom, exchanging facts - when they’ve shared the information on their card, students swap cards, and carry on walking — in this way, they encounter the same facts a couple of times, which really embeds knowledge. I tend to do this activity several times across the school year, following it up with an informal whole-group quiz, particularly when I feel that students need a break from more formal learning. I also use the cards as either ***entrance or exit cards*** - again, followed by a quick quiz at several points in the year - simply turn the language on the individual cards into a question format. This works really well when students quiz each other, which moves them away from teacher-led learning towards more independent and social learning. ***Have a browse in my store for more FACTS ABOUT... resources.*** ***Please note this is the World Languages version of my European Day of Languages Facts about Languages set: if you have already purchased that set, there is no need to purchase this one.*** **THANKS AND ENJOY THE ACTIVITY!**
GERMAN CHALLENGE CARDS BUNDLE #1

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.*** There are ***13 sets of German Challenge Cards*** in this bundle. My students absolutely love challenge cards, and find them really useful for helping them get to grips with their ***German***. Task cards are great for independent learning - students can work at their own pace, in pairs or in small groups, and really focus on the ***target language***. The challenge card questions and templates focus on ***multi-skill language learning***, not focusing solely on the target vocabulary - they provide students with opportunities to ***apply prior learning***, and to encounter ***more complex language*** they may not yet have covered formally in class. There are ***answer keys and recording sheets*** for every set, though my students often just use their notebooks for writing their answers. Some sets have a ***question card template*** too - this is a really popular activity with my students, and they love to create questions for each other. Additionally, this enables them to apply their ***developing understanding of German in a very practical and creative way***. Several sets also have accompanying ***vocabulary lists***, which are great as a learning support resource, as well as a year-round reference resource. I have a series of challenge cards sets ready to go for my students - they're a very popular choice for our ***'free-choice' learning time.*** ***Read the full outlines here:*** ***Set 1: German Dates, Days, Months & Seasons Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-dates-days-months-seasons-challenge-cards-11707477](http://) ***Set 2: German Numbers 0-31 Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-11817183](http://) ***Set 3: German Christmas Numbers 0-31 Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-christmas-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-12015633](http://) ***Set 4: German Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-numbers-0-100-challenge-cards-11741806](http://) ***Set 5: German Fruits Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-fruits-challenge-cards-12587759](http://) ***Set 6: German Vegetables Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-vegetables-challenge-cards-12588063](http://) ***Set 7: German Fruits & Vegetables Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-fruits-and-vegetables-challenge-cards-12588167](http://) ***Set 8: German Telling the Time Challenge Cards : O'clock & Half Past the Hour*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-telling-time-challenge-cards-1-12458846](http://) ***Set 9: German Telling the Time Challenge Cards : Quarter to & Quarter Past the Hour*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-telling-time-challenge-cards-2-12459953](http://) ***Set 10: German Telling the Time Challenge Cards : Range of Analog Clock Times*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-telling-time-challenge-cards-3-12474452](http://) ***Set 11: German Regular Verbs Present Tense Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-present-tense-regular-verbs-2-12244522](http://) ***Set 12: German Irregular Verbs Present Tense Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-present-tense-irregular-verbs-2-12244528](http://) ***Set 13: German Separable Verbs Present Tense Challenge Cards*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-separable-verbs-present-tense-challenge-cards-12685367](http://) ***All files are non-editable in a zipped format and include a range of the following:*** ***differentiated question cards***, students don't have to work through all cards at once - they can select cards randomly for short periods of time during lessons, whatever way suits your learning plan best. ***answer recording sheet*** - I don't actually always use these - I let students use their work notebooks for answers simply use their notebooks for answers. In some set, I’ve included a sheet with a background, and one without. Similarly, in some sets I’ve also included a blank sheet, with no numbers, which is useful when students are working ‘randomly’ through the cards at different times. ***answer key*** - I find having a key essential for students, as it helps them to work and learn independently, and it also offers extra opportunity to engage with language - I tend to laminate sets of answer keys - one answer key for each small group is enough ***question cards template*** for students to apply their knowledge practically, and to create questions for each other - this is a really challenging and popular activity, and I encourage students to include other vocab and verbs they know or learn. ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles, resource boxes, and freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!**
