Hello! My name is Delia and I´ve been teaching English and Spanish as foreign languages for more than 15 years now.
At present, I teach Spanish in the PYP system.
The resources I sell in my shop are mainly card games. I use them to spice up my lessons and have the kids talk in the target language as much as possible.
I hope you find them useful and enjoyable!

**Distance Learning Special: Los juguetes (Verbos) - Minilesson Video+Activities
**
This is a complete, ready-to-deliver Distance Learning lesson.
It is designed to help the students learn new vocabulary and practice reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
It includes:
A MP4 (video) minilesson on adjectives to describe toys and verbs (like, play, fly, do a puzzle, ride a bike etc) in Spanish with images, animation and professional sound.
Follow-up activities in the form of a 7-page pdf file that can be uploaded to SeeSaw
Steps you need to take to assign this lesson and the follow-up activity pages to your students in Seesaw:
Upload the video minilesson on Seesaw, as a link, in the Multimedia Instructions or Example section.
Ask your students to watch the video at least twice to familiarize themselves with the new vocabulary.
Upload the pdf document on Seesaw, in the Add Template for Student Responses section, using the Upload tool. Each page of the document will upload as a page in Seesaw.
For the first pages, you need to write labels in Seesaw to match the images. Then, pile the labels up in a corner and have them drag and drop them under the right images.
The students will complete the activity, following the instructions on each slide. They need to use the drag and drop tool to label the pictures, the markers to mark the right answers and the typing tool to fill in the blanks.
You could also ask the students to read some of the pages aloud and record themselves so you can check their pronunciation and give feedback.
You can divide the activity into 2 parts if you worry it might be too much to assign to your students at once. Simply upload the document to Seesaw and then delete the pages you wish to leave for a later date.
If you do not intend to use this resource to upload to Seesaw, you can just send the worksheet to your students to download and print.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CARD GAME:
This is an easy-to-play game and a great way to practice essential language concepts with the whole class. As students match up the answers on their cards with questions on other students’ cards, they get valuable practice with vocabulary and listening skills.
Directions:
Cut out the cards along the dotted line and laminate. For bigger classes, you might want to print more copies of each set.
Give out all the cards in the set to the students. It is important to use all the cards.
Choose a student to go first. I usually do that by a counting rhyme (for example, En la casa de Pinocho, solo cuentan hasta ocho, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
Have the selected student read the question at the bottom of the card aloud and then put the card down.
The student who has the card with the answer then reads that answer aloud.
This student will then read the question at the bottom of their card and put the card down. Play continues in this fashion until all of the cards have been played. The game will end with the same student who started play.
Every card in the set is connected to a card before it and a card after it. To keep the game moving at a quick pace, all students need to pay attention to every question that’s asked. I tell my younger students that this is a magic game and that the magic only works if you pay attention, which is actually true. The magic happens in the end, when the question on the last card actually matches the answer on the very first card.
