German Activities For Kids
View Videos for kids and TPRS Story Videos Below!
Willkommen!
Hello! I am having fun learning German and have had a very hard time finding much fun stuff for kids in German, I have slowly found some nice activities in German and will be sharing the links to the pages so everyone can have access to all the free German activities out there.
I have decided to start keeping track of the fun videos, games and other activities that I do find for German by making this free page for others who want some fun activities for themselves or for their kids who are learning German too.
I decided to begin my German learning adventure with fun easy German activities that are made for kids, they usually have simple words and simple pictures, which makes it a lot easier for me to grasp the new words.
I am having fun teaching my grandson german.
I love learning German with TPRS stories, and I am so thankful for the teachers who are nice enough to upload the videos, the videos seem to be for kindergarten and up, so these stories should work for most school aged children, you will probably want something a bit easier for your preschoolers.
I will be making a lot of free German activities as I learn new words to share what I am learning with all of you! Have fun learning German.

Peppa Pig Videos!
Wow, I found some peppa pig videos in German, and the best part, the words in English are written on the video, I wish they were in German so I could see the words being spoken, but this will work for now.
You may think, what?!@ Peppa pig, that show is for little kids, but when learning a new language, this is just what I need, something on the easier side.
I dont understand much of what is being said, but in time, I should!

For Kids
Change Audio To German
Learning Time with Timmy
Have netflix?
Do a search for learning time with timmy on netflix.
Make sure you change the audio to German.
The only bad part is, the learning time with timmy, doesn't have the subtitles in German they are only in English
But there is a netflix app that works on your computer but you will have to use google chrome to access it.
It will show you the subtitles in German if netflix doesn't have them
Plus the app will show you both the English and German subtitles at the same time {I love this feature}
