KS3 GERMAN KS4 GERMAN GCSE GERMAN SEPARABLE VERBS PRESENT TENSE 12 CHALLENGE CARDS FREEBIE focusing on conjugating German separable verbs in the present tense.

They are perfect for upper KS3 German students, who are working regularly with compound sentences and more complex texts, KS4 German students preparing for German GCSE, and KS5 German students, who are refreshing prior knowledge.

German separable verbs can be quite a challenging concept for English-speaking German learners, and I’ve found that focused practice really helps them consolidate their understanding of how to conjugate them accurately, particularly the location of the separable prefix at the end of the clause.

This kind of activity really does help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their conjugation skills in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The questions have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling. They’re great for helping students familiarise themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling in German in general, and certainly in conjugating German separable verbs in the present tense in particular.

The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on conjugation, but also as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to learn how conjugation works, and how patterns can be identified and applied, it’s also about enjoying working with German, and to feel confident about doing so. I like to have different set of task cards ready in folders for free-choice time, where students can choose a particular target focus that they feel they need to work a little more on, and certainly verb conjugation is a really popular choice.

Try this set of 48 differentiated challenge cards for a real focus on German separable verbs in the present tense (£3):

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!**
