My Kindergartners come into our school with little to no Spanish experience...or so they think! I love to give them a big confidence boost right from the beginning so we do a fun activity I call ‘¡Ya sabes español! (You already know Spanish!) where I have pictures and items of things we say in Spanish all the time: taco, piñata, quesadilla, burrito, armadillo, nachos, salsa, llama, alpaca, and so on (a lot of them are food!) and have my kiddos name them themselves. As we go, I get to point out, ‘See, you already know a lot of Spanish!’ This activity gives my students a sense of confidence and motivation, especially for those who are nervous that they don’t know anything in Spanish. It also starts to build that awareness that Spanish is all around us!

Activities to teach daily habits and routines with reflexive verbs in Spanish. Make this grammar concept comprehensible with reading and more!
If your students have trouble understanding the difference between poner and ponerse, this activity can help them understand why a verb is reflexive in Spanish, and why the same verb isn't always reflexive. Using both reflexive and non-reflexive verbs to describe their daily routine also gives your Spanish students a chance to hone their vocabulary, conjugation and general grammar.

Last week I shared a writing activity my 7th graders do with places in Madrid. I was hoping to share a few more of my favorite activities from that unit, but life got in the way, as it often does. So finally, a few days late, here's another activity I'm proud of: "Sights in Sevilla". In this partner activity, students ask and answer questions to exchange information about famous sights in Sevilla, Spain. I used this authentic information sheet from my trip to Sevilla (it's from the back of a map) to create the activity. original Sevilla info sheet Partner A and Partner B each have modified information sheets with critical information blacked out for SOME of the sights. (Thus, A can see information that B can't see and vice versa.) (Partner A & B info sheets w/ opposite blacked out info.) Each student has to ask his/her partner for the missing information (related to our numbers/time vocab) about each designated sight: opening time, closing time, and phone number. (i.e."What time does the Museo Taurino open?" etc. -- you can see an example above the chart screenshots below.) To answer the partner's questions, the student must find the correct information about each of the partner's sights on the info sheet. Of course, all asking & answering MUST be done in Spanish! While listening to their partner's answers, students record the information (numerically) in the following charts: Partner A's chart to fill in Partner B's chart to fill in After both students have exchanged all the information about their sights, I have them pick two sights that they'd like to visit. They have to work together to write about what the sight is and why it's important / why they'd want to visit it. As in the Madrid activity, I run a self-scrolling PowerPoint with pictures of Sevilla on the big screen throughout the activity. And just like that activity, students really respond to the realia and enjoy learning about the sights much more than if they were just exchanging made-up numbers and times to practice vocabulary by itself! I love info-gap activities for so many reasons: students have a real reason to communicate they get to ask/answer questions they might actually ask & answer in real life having a specific task to complete keeps them on-task designing the activity around vocab they are practicing keeps them in the target language they get to practice both speaking and listening at the same time! since it's a pair activity, students often correct/help each other with language usage In fact, I love them so much that my students end up rolling their eyes when it's time to do another one... but the vast majority of students always list them under "What helped you LEARN the most?" in our end-of-unit surveys! (Even students who don't list them under "What activities did you LIKE the most?" -- although many students include them there as well!)
