Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Recognize and name 115 common action verbs in both English and German
Connect each verb to a picture of the action for meaning without translation chains
Build beginner speaking and recall through card-based drills and matching
Teaching tips
Cut each page into its fifteen cards and sort by theme — daily routines, sports, chores — to teach the set in smaller groups
Fold or cover one language row to turn any card into a self-checking translation prompt in either direction
Use the picture-only middle of the card for a charades-style guessing game before revealing either word
Pair cards whose German words repeat with different English meanings (tragen appears for both carry and wear; schauen for look and watch) to teach context explicitly
Skills covered
Bilingual vocabulary acquisition — students learn 115 English-German verb pairs from illustrated cards.
Picture-word association — every card anchors both words to one illustrated action.
Beginner oral production — cards work as prompts for say-the-verb drills in whole-group, small-group, or independent practice.
Cross-language comparison — repeated German forms (tragen, schauen) and compound forms (einatmen/ausatmen for inhale/exhale) invite explicit contrast.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How are the two languages arranged on each card?
The German verb sits above the illustration and the English verb below it, so either language can be covered for one-way practice, and the picture in the middle carries the meaning.
What range of verbs does the set cover?
Beyond everyday basics like walk, eat, and sleep, the set reaches chores (sweep, wipe, sew), outdoor and sport actions (hike, skate, surf, ski, camp, grill), work verbs (teach, serve, farm, investigate), and body actions (sneeze, snore, stretch, kneel, inhale, exhale).
