GERMAN TELLING TIME EVERY ANALOG CLOCK TIME!
These German Telling Time Dominoes Games dominoes games are really useful for learning and practicing how to tell time in German - they're really popular with my students. I've found that dominoes games are a great alternative to more traditional 'drilling' activities, and they defnitely help students become more independent in their learning. They're really ideal for pair and small-group work / centers.
There are 3 sets, each with a different time focus:
Here, the clock times are o'clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past the hour - students generally find half past a bit tricky in German, so they really do benefit from lots of practice
These games focus on five and ten past, and five and ten to the hour
The focus in these games is twenty and twenty-five past, and twenty and twenty-five to the hour.
Each set has are three differentiated challenges: clock times in order, with the time phrase first; clock times in random order, also with the time phrase first and finally, clock times in random order, but with the clock face first. The background design is different on each challenge, so students can easily identify which challenge they're working on - so that's nine differentiated games in total.
I've included a time reference booklet in each set - my students use these as a 'forever' reference resource, not just when they're learning or revising how to tell time. There are two German-English reference lists - the first with all the time phrases in order and the second corresponding to the second challenge, with all the time phrases in topsyy-turvy order. Do laminate the dominoes if you can - it's time-consuming, but they are more learner-friendly, and definitely last for years!
I've also included a German Numbers 0-100 reference list your students might find useful - it's free to download.
