Picture Stories – Teaching Material for Vocabulary, Grammar & Storytelling

Picture stories in elementary school or kindergarten are not only fun, but they also play an important role in children's language development. Kids eagerly await the next picture to find out how the picture story continues. The ending remains open, making language promotion with picture cards simple. Picture stories can be easily and quickly integrated into German lessons by teachers.

Picture cards in elementary school promote vocabulary, parts of speech & sentence structure, individual storytelling ability, free speaking, logical thinking, and the development of children's ideas. The best part: the variety of themes and short stories help children with concentration difficulties to focus, and children with language difficulties can be well included and specifically supported through picture stories. Additionally, they encourage shy students to speak and tell stories in a playful way. This boosts self-confidence and helps children experience storytelling as a positive activity.

Why Use Picture Cards for Language Promotion?

  • Careful observation and description
  • Expansion of vocabulary
  • Interpreting facial expressions & gestures and talking about feelings
  • Promotes logical thinking and idea development
  • Improves storytelling ability and free speaking

When Is It Appropriate to Start Using Picture Cards?

The use of picture cards is suitable from the age of 4. Make sure to integrate the stories playfully to gradually develop the children's skills without overwhelming them. While simpler picture stories with little text are suitable for four-year-olds, more complex picture stories can be used with five-year-olds in kindergarten. These stories can include more characters and more complicated sequences of actions. Picture stories are also effective for children learning German as a second language, provided they have a basic vocabulary.

Our TimeTEX tip: Show the stories picture by picture to keep the children's attention on the picture story until the end.

Discover creatively designed picture stories for kindergarten & elementary school online. We offer picture stories that train dealing with surprising situations and emotions or appropriate behavior in society. Order picture stories from TimeTEX now!
