Spanish Teaching Resources: Euro 2016 Football lesson.

Euro 2016 Resources Product Description.

I have planned this lesson not only to teach vocabulary and facts about football, France and Euro 2016, but also to help the students to respond creatively to their learning and hopefully share their passion for football! The PowerPoint uses matching cards, colourful pictures and animations and YouTube extracts set to music to inspire the students. It is planned to use with students from Years 6-9 (the final task is very open-ended).

Slide 2 shows a celebratory image of the 2012 winners – Spain!

Slide 3 states the objective:
Objectivo: To learn about el fútbol & Euro 2016 and to respond creatively to your learning.

Slide 4 has a YouTube link to follow to use with the attached worksheet. This uses the official UEFA promotional video (3 mins 57 secs) and the worksheet builds vocabulary, cultural and factual knowledge such as the locations of the stadiums, their capacities, cultural images and numbers of matches, volunteers, teams etc. The worksheet is differentiated with an Extra! challenge section. The answers are on the first page of the worksheet.

Slide 6 introduces key vocabulary and can be used with the matching cards. The students should work in pairs/ groups to match the vocabulary and the picture using their previous knowledge, cognates and a process of elimination.

Vocabulary:

Un futbolista
El guardameta
El réferi
El estadio
La pelota
La copa
Una bandera
Un equipo
Una tarjeta amarilla
La cancha
Una camiseta
Unos botines

The activity is differentiated as follows:
All: Match Up!
Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge!
Some: Quick Fire Questions! (Here the students quiz each other: French to English, English to French, spellings, accents…..).

Slides 7 to 18 show each word and the matching picture and colourful animations.
Slide 19 has all the pictures for a quick recap.

Then there is graded questioning:
Slides 20 to 31 have A, B, C multiple choice questions.
Slides 32 to 45 are “What’s missing?” slides.


Then slide 46 has a YouTube link to the official song and video (3 mins 49 secs) and students should note down new nouns and adjectives expressing the emotions they see and feel (if they don’t know the Spanish they can grab a dictionary later!)

The creative challenges are presented on slides 46 and 47, this is to either create an acrostic, a calligramme or a poem (there is a poem template provided). This information is also on the accompanying worksheets.

Slide 48 provides the opportunity for reflection.

I really hope you and your students enjoy these resources!
