I know that one of the most difficult aspects of Spanish grammar is verb conjugation. For people whose native language does not have verb conjugation, it does not come naturally to think of a different form for each person, for each tense. And even for people who are used to conjugate verbs, it’s still a […]

{Affiliate links used.} A few years back, I found an old game at a garage sale in which you have to guess where the family members are located in your opponent's house. It is a GREAT game for talking about the rooms in the house, using the verb "estar", and discussing family members. However, I only had one game for two players so I never could use the game in groups. So I decided to make my own! While this project is a lot of prep, the work is worth it as your students will spend about 10-20 minutes completely in the target language, and the games can be used over and over again. So let's take a look at how the game is played... {See the photos as a reference.} Each person has a game board/folder with two houses on it. One house is where the player arranges family members in certain rooms. The other house is for recording where the family members are in his or her opponent's house. To set up, each player places all eight family members (grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, brother, sister, dog, and cat) in one of the houses. They lay the other set of family members off to the side. Then the players take turns asking yes/no questions about each other's houses like... Is the dad upstairs? Is the dog downstairs? Is the mom in the bathroom? They keep going back and forth with questions until all of the second set of family members are placed correctly in the second house. The first player to figure out where every family member is in his/her opponent's house wins. To play the game, each person needs a playing board that has two pictures of the same house, two sets of family members, and I also include a card that helps my students with vocabulary and forming the questions (photo #6). In order to make the boards you will need the following items to make this game: File folders-You can use any type of file folders, but I like colored ones like these. (photo #1) Clear Velcro Dots (photos #2 and #3) Glue Dots and/or Liquid Glue (photo #2) E-6000 clear glue (photo #2) Envelopes Laminator-This is what I use. A picture of the inside of a house with various rooms-I used this one. You will need two copies for each game folder. Pictures of family members- You will need two sets of family members for each game folder. To assemble the boards: Print out the houses (two houses per game folder). Make sure you print a size that will fit in a file folder after it is laminated. Laminate them. Print out the family members (two families per game folder) and laminate them. Make sure that the family members are printed out to a size in which they can fit in the rooms of the house. Adhere two houses onto the inside of a folder (See the picture below). I used glue dots or you could use liquid glue. Make sure you DON'T center the houses but rather put them off to the side so that you can put the envelope of playing pieces (photo #5) and the vocabulary list (Here's the list) (photo #6) in the folder. Use glue dots to adhere the envelope to one of the sides of the file folder. Print out a vocabulary list and/or a list of possible questions to use during the game. Laminate it and put it on the other side of the folder. Adhere the clear part of the Velcro dots to the rooms in the house with the E-6000 glue. I put only one or two dots in each room. You want as many dots in the house as family members. I used 8 people (grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, brother, sister, dog, cat). You can kind of see the dots in photo #4. Adhere the white side of a Velcro dot to each family member using the E-6000 glue. Let dry. Play the game! NOTE: The Velcro dots already have an adhesive on them, but I used the E-6000 glue to make the game extra durable. I have my students use the top house to place their family members while the bottom house is where they place the people once they figure out where they are located on their opponent's board. The file folder makes an excellent "shield" so that the opponent can't see where the family members are placed. I have a feeling that the possibilities could be expanded for this type of speaking game. For example, you could have pictures of an empty fridge and have students converse until the fridge is full with the correct foods. Or you could have a simple street map in which students have to guess where the different buildings are in their partners' city. Another idea is to have faces in the file folders and players have to guess what the face of their opponent looks like (hair and eye color, hair length, facial hair, etc.). So many ideas you could use to help your students work with the vocabulary they are learning!
!Hola mis amigos! It’s time for another Spanish lesson. Today’s lesson involves you doing a lot of talking… or rather, sound making! We’re doing tongue twisters. The Spanish words for it is trabalenguas, which roughly translates to tongue work… and we’ll most certainly be working those tongues. I will warn you that these aren’t the easiest speaking exercises but they’re not the hardest either. As... Read More
