Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Name eighteen vegetables and eighteen fruits in German
Give each noun with its definite article, separating der words (Spinat, Pilz, Knoblauch, Mais, Kohl, Kürbis, Salat, Blumenkohl, Apfel, Pfirsich) from die words (Gurke, Tomate, Karotte, Zwiebel, Aubergine, Paprika, Erdbeere, Banane, Orange, Zitrone) and the one das word, Radieschen
Recognise the plural forms used on selected cards — die Kartoffeln, die Erbsen, die Trauben

Teaching tips

The two dividers split the deck into vegetables and fruits, so each half can be taught, cut and drilled as its own set of eighteen.
Because the article is printed with the noun, folding or covering the first word turns the same deck from a vocabulary drill into a gender drill without any extra preparation.
Kiwi, Mango and Avocado carry no article on the card, which makes them a natural trio for a short dictionary check before the deck goes into circulation.

Skills covered

German food vocabulary — thirty-six produce nouns, eighteen vegetables and eighteen fruits, presented one to a page for cutting into cards.
Recognising German plural forms — die Kartoffeln, die Erbsen and die Trauben are given in the plural rather than the singular.
Category sorting — the die Gemüse and die Früchte dividers give the cut deck two ready categories to sort back into.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Can every page be used directly for noun-gender practice?

Most entries carry an article, but Kiwi, Mango, and Avocado are printed without one. Check the wording and supply the needed articles before assigning gender work.
