German Numbers 0-31 Challenge Cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of German numbers 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 beginner German students familiarize themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words in German.
The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on German Numbers 0-31, but also for cover lessons, as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to learn how to count in German, but also to enjoy working with German, and to feel confident about doing so.
All questions are in German, and range in complexity and challenge, both in terms of language and number skills. I’ve used visual prompts such as maths symbols to ensure all learners can engage with the questions, and this helps them to begin to infer meaning from context, and to decode cues and prompts to foster understanding. Some questions focus specifically on German maths language, which students do not always engage with very often. The level of math is fairly simple, but certainly draws on prior number and arithmetic learning.
I’ve labelled the cards A-L, so that if you have the set of 48 task cards ($3), you can use them together.
Try this second freebie focusing on German Numbers 0-31 - these cards are also numbered a-l, but in lowercase, so that students can easily identify which set they are working with:

GERMAN CHALLENGE CARDS BUNDLE #1
**KS3 GERMAN KS4 GERMAN GCSE GERMAN ALEVEL GERMAN KS5 GERMAN CHALLENGE CARDS BUNDLE 13 SETS @ £3.00 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***Files are non-editable in zipped formats. 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!**
GERMAN VERBS CARDS BUNDLE #1
**GCSE GERMAN KS4 GERMAN A LEVEL GERMAN VERBS CARDS TWO SETS OF 198 CARDS WITH WORKBOOKS @ £3.75 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***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 carefully.*** ***198 high-frequency German verbs with 198 matching English verbs cards*** really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for ***GCSE German*** learners, as they prepare to move into and work confidently at ***advanced level German***. Each set features ***99 German verbs in the infinitive form***, with ***99 corresponding English verbs cards***, and an ***18-page Reference, Recall & Write Workbook***. The games and activities are a really successful alternative to more traditional 'vocabulary drilling' exercises. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their core ***German verbs vocabulary*** in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The game cards and accompanying ***Recall & Write challenges*** have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing and spelling***. It doesn’t matter if any of the verbs don’t feature in your medium or even longer-term learning plan: this is a great way of encouraging your students to engage with new language, and to build their vocabulary at the same time. This prepares them really well for ***creative activities in German*** - they will have a rich vocabulary to choose from. Students can work independently of the teacher, challenging themselves and each other in their best ***German*** accent to find all the matching verbs cards in ***German and English***. The card templates allow students to ***apply their German knowledge practically and creatively***, as they put together mini-quiz cards for each other, preferably from memory. The ***Reference, Recall & Write*** book has 18 pages. It includes an alphabetical ***German-English*** reference list of all 99 verbs. Students find this really useful as a learning support resource, and it comes in very handy for quick vocabulary quizzes too. The ***Recall and Write challenges*** help students familiarise themselves with, and really embed, the range of verbs in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in ***German***. It’s also a great way of developing literacy skills in ***German***. The challenges can be done several times, as students simply cover previous responses, so they definitely get a lot of use from a single workbook. ***There are three differentiated recall challenges:*** ***Written Recall Challenge One*** students write the English verbs from a German prompt, with all the verbs in alphabetical order, German-English. ***Written Recall Challenge Two*** again, students write the verbs in English from a German prompt, but the German verbs are now in random, rather than alphabetical order. Language learners often learn or are familiar with new vocabulary in a particular order, so it increases the recall challenge by changing that order. ***Written Recall Challenge Three*** the final challenge requires students to write the corresponding German verb from an English prompt. The English verbs are also in random order. This challenge really helps with vocabulary recall, which is quite challenging when vocabulary does not appear in the context of a sentence. It's really useful for spelling in German too. I encourage students to visit the ***Ideas, Notes and Next Steps*** page regularly, reflecting not only on the verbs they feel confident about, but also how they think their ***skills in listening, speaking, pronouncing German, reading and writing*** are developing - and equally importantly, what they can reasonably do to keep improving. I always have activities where creative application of language is required too, so that they can use the verbs in real-world contexts, which is essential for progressing in language learning. We also use their notes to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which again is really useful, and a very popular activity with students too. The resource works best when used frequently and regularly - students should store their work carefully in a learning folder or file that they can refer to at any point to support their learning and revision. Students also note down any new, related vocabulary, which builds into a really ***comprehensive high-frequency German verb vocabulary bank*** in a very short space of time. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the additional prep and expense is definitely worth it, as the cards will last in excellent conditional for years. Print & photocopy an appropriate number of quiz card templates and ***Reference, Recall & Write*** books. The books are best copied double-sided, and double-stapled on the left-hand side, rather than a single staple in the top left-hand corner for example. This format is again far more reader and writer-friendly, and can be used more effectively as a learning and reference resource. ***Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **VIELEN DANK UND VIEL SPAß IN DER DEUTSCHSTUNDE!**
GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS
**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!**
