Free German Worksheet Packet on Animals

This year ED is moving beyond colors and numbers in German. I’m trying to build her vocabulary while giving her plenty of time to practice these new words.  I’ve created some packets where she also learns some basic new grammar skills. The first packet is on animals – introducing just six animals.

1. On the first page we go over over the vocabulary – das Pferd (the horse).
2. On the second she figures out which article to use (ein, eine, ein) – ein Pferd (a horse)
3. On the third page she uses kein, keine, kein – kein Pferd (no horse)
4. The next few pages she makes simple sentence… Hier ist ein… Das ist ein…

I’d love to hear from you over on our Homeschool Den Facebook page if you found these useful! Hearing from readers is what makes it worth spending the time to share with the wider world. 🙂

German Conversation Card Sets:

I have found it difficult to find good German materials and curriculum for kids.  Early on we used a lot of free German worksheets and materials, but then at a certain point the kids were ready for more. See more about the German Curriculum we use now in this post.

I made a whole series of Conversation Cards and we are slowly building conversations skills and vocabulary from day-to-day, week-to-week. This is what we will be covering (Click on the links to find out more about each packet):

Be sure to check out our German Store for see all the units and packets we have available!

Last spring I made our first set of German conversation cards. It consisted of a family tree and various family members (brother, sister, mom, dad, aunt, uncle and grandparents). We used these to practice greetings and for basic conversations asking and answering questions like What’s your name? How old are you? Is this your aunt? etc. Wow! Having props absolutely transformed German for us. So this summer, I made a half-dozen more sets.  The kids have made amazing progress with these already.
