This a bundle of activities for Day of the Dead suitable for KS3 and lower ability groups at KS4. If you’re looking for activities that will take your students through the 4 core skills of Spanish, this bundle is for you!
It includes the following activities:
Highlighter race
Vocab match up
Categorisation of nouns, adjectices, and verbs relating to Día de los Muertos
Mindreader/Bingo
2x Translation Pyramids (1x in Spanish, 1x in English)
Writing Task (has a writing strip that students can follow to write a text on their opinion of Day of the Dead)
Listening Task (no audio provided - teacher must read aloud and students fill in the gaps)
Reading tasks (Q&A and translation of a text)
Speaking Task (survey-like exercise)
The activities have teacher instructions where needed, in the notes section of each slide in the PPT. Answers are also provided for all tasks except the speaking task, translation pyramid, writing task, and highlighter race. The reason for some of these is the nature of these activities and the subjectivity of some tasks. To help with these though, students are provided with a sentence builder and an extra vocab sheet. I also encourage the use of dictionaries as well, just in case.
Please note this is not a lesson but a series of activities for you to pick from for each of your classes. You might want to dedicate more or less time to talking about Day of the Dead but whichever task you choose, students will be able to work on them with the support provided in the SB and vocab sheet.
All tasks are in a PPT format so they can be edited to your liking!
In our shop, you will also be able to find a Day of the Dead Quiz. If you´re interested, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/day-of-the-dead-quiz-12747942
This easy to use worksheet is the perfect start to a lesson to celebrate Dia de Los Muertos. It can be used as a starter or even a plenary to open a discussion about this amazing holiday.
Students must find different words relating to Day of the Dead in the word search looking for them across, vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Some letters are used twice to suit two words, so please let your students know that.
It shouldn’t take students more than 10 minutes to complete and if you’d like to expand the activity you could always explain why these words are specific to Day of the Dead. For example the meaning of the marigold or an explanation of what ofrendas are.
You will get a PDF copy of the word search with ANSWERS included. I’ve made sure there is a black and white version as well as coloured one depending on your printer.
You can also find a Day of Dead Quiz in my shop if you’d like to dedicate an entire lesson to exploring the customs of this holiday! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/day-of-the-dead-quiz-12747942
This is a 70-page document that will help your students master verb conjugations in the present, preterite, imperfect, future, and conditional tenses.
Each tense is explained and has the corresponding endings present before students begin practicing the conjugations in that particular time tense. As you know, there are exceptions to every rule so there are many irregular verbs present but the majority of the verbs in this booklet are of high-frequency and recommeded to be studied by the AQA guidance.
In each tense students have over 50 verbs to conjugate. These verbs are the same for each tense.
There are also empty pages where you can give students the verbs you would like them to practice or use those pages as a grammar check when you want to test knowledge.
The verb conjugation booklet is FULLY EDITABLE and comes with an ANSWER booklet attached which contains all the conjugations you will be asking of your students for an easy process of checking their answers.
This workbook can be used for cover lessons, homework, summer project for Y10s or as exam revision material to prepare for the GCSEs.
This is an excellent resource to use for revision of the three themes at GCSE level without planning. I use these exit tickets at the end of the lesson and give each student a different one every time. They must do what the card asks them to do whether it be answering a question, posing a question or simply talking about a given topic freely.
There are 60 exit tickets covering all three themes available!
These exit tickets are super quick and since they cover a variety of topics they can be used in numerous lessons especially to freshen up the students’ minds. The students must think of an answer and verbalize it thus practicing their pronunciation but also their spontaneity to answering such questions.
We all know their speaking exams want natural conversations and through these they can practice and work on those skills. PLUS they can also use their answers for their WRITING PAPER. It’s a win win!
Any feedback would be appreciated!
This is a bundle of the famous trapdoor activity that I’ve created for Y8 Spanish. The bundle contains 6 trapdoor activities for the following topics:
La rutina diaria
Donde vivo
Mi pueblo
Las vacaciones (present tense)
Las vacaciones (past tense)
La comida y la bebida
It’s a fun and easy activity that can be done with or without a teacher that is excellent for practicing speaking skills. The kids will absolutely love it!
Enjoy!
This resource is a revision lesson for year 8s using the Viva 2 module 2 structure that can be used as an hour-long game with your class. Divide you class in teams (I had 4 or 5 children in each) and get them to work independently as well as together to find the answers for each activity. The lesson encompasses all the four skills and was used to prepare children before their assessments. Children will have the spirit of competition during the entire hour and will actually be revising at the same time! Hope you enjoy it.
This bundle incorporates all the resources I’ve created this year for European Day of Languages.
WHAT YOU GET:
1x European Day of Languages Quiz (in English) - which can be used across all subjects or during tutor time to ensure the school has a cross-curricular approach to supporting languages. The quiz has 38 questions and covers topics such as landmarks, European food and famous faces that are linked to languages one way or another.
1x European Day of Languages Spanish Activity Booklet - which can be used by Spanish teachers during lesson time. It includes a sentence builder and numerous activities based off the information in the SB. The tasks are about vocabulary building, listening, reading, and writing. There are NO AUDIO FILES INCLUDED as in the answers section you will find a script (answer) for each task that you can read to students yourself.
2x European Day of Languages Worksheets (in English) - which can be used as starters for other subjects in school or again as a short tutor activity. One of them is a word search the other one is comprised of a map where students must place different European countries on the map.
All files come in a PDF format and can be purchased separately in my shop if you only want one or two!
This is an exciting revision board game designed to help kids practice vocabulary on the topic of Free time. I’ve used this type of game successfully with my Y7s and they loved a bit of healthy competition amongst their classmates.
This is also an amazing activity to practice pronunciation as well as get students working with others and be independent. Since the referee holds all the answers you can walk around the room and listen to the students using the TL as well as take a break if you need to. I’m a fan of anything that gets the kids working on their own whilst having some fun too. So, please enjoy and any feedback would be appreciated! I’m looking to create a game for each topic at KS3 so there is more to come!
Instructions:
The game should be played in groups of 4-5 with one person being the referee.
Each group gets a copy of the game and the referee gets a copy of the answers, which nobody else should see!
You will need a dice so players can move through the game. One dice per group should be enough.
The younger player goes first and starts the game .
The first player to pass the finish line wins.
Players cannot advance if they cannot translate the sentences they have fallen onto in the opposite language. They will have to stay in the same place if their answer doesn´t match the referees answer sheet and wait for another turn until they roll the dice again and hopefully get a different number.
The referee is allowed to give small hints if the person is struggling (e.g. It starts with the letter T…).
The game can last up to 30 minutes and is a great way for students to practice the vocabulary learnt.
*** I usually give my students a small piece of paper in the shape of a square to use as a token and move along in the game. I make them write their initials on the square so if they are the same colour they don’t get mixed up with the others.
This bundle incorporates all the resources I’ve created this year for Day of the Dead.

This easy to use worksheet is the perfect start to a lesson to discuss La Pascua. It can be used as a starter or plenary to open a discussion about Spain´s traditions for Semana Santa.
Students must fill the crossword out with the help of the words provided for each number. The answers are the translations of the words in English and you will be provided with an answer sheet.
It shouldn’t take students more than 10 minutes to complete and if you’d like to expand the activity you could always explain why these words are specific to La Pascua. For example the meaning of los huevos pintados or an explanation of the religious side of things that Spanish people consider important regarding this holiday.
Students can use dictionaries to help them out or you could even give them letters along the way if they still struggle with finding a specific word.
You will get a PDF copy of the crossword with ANSWERS included. I’ve made sure there is a black and white version as well as a coloured one depending on your printer.

This European Day of Languages (Spanish) Activity booklet is my go-to resource for EDL. I created this resource because as much as I tried I couldn’t find something to suit my Spanish lessons for European Day of Languages. I wanted something that immersed students into the importance of the event, but also coincided with my method of teaching Spanish.
The booklet is suitable for a KS3 Spanish lesson solely around European Day of Languages but can also be used for KS4 to raise awareness about this important event.
The booklet contains the following: Vocabulary building activities, listening, reading, and writing tasks as well as ANSWERS to each activity at the end of the booklet. All activities are based on a sentence builder I created for European Day of Languages and the majority can be done independently.
Some activities can be subjective so I have given you some suggested answers to offer students some guidance on how a task should have been approached or to use them as examples before letting students start the work.
I wanted to incorporate as many skills as possible in this and for teachers to have freedom over the activities they choose to do. You can do some of them or all of them, it’s up to you!
As this includes a sentence builder, the activities are very Conti style so you will have things like matching words up, filling in the gap, finding words/expressions in a text as well as guided writing with some prompts.
The listening tasks DO NOT INCLUDE recordings, as I usually do my own listenings in the classroom. In the answers section you will find everything you need to run the activities in the listening part so, no need to worry! I’ve often found students respond better to sentences said by me as they are familiar with my voice, accent and pronunciation. Plus, all the activities are based on the SB so, I didn’t want students to be overwhelmed by the amount of new language.
This booklet is ideally aimed at KS3 but it can absolutely be used with lower KS4 sets. The are plenty of activities which should take you at least 1h to go through. You can also give it as homework if you’d like.
*You will receive a PDF version of this booklet so no changes can be made for copyright reasons.

This pack can be used in your MFL classrooms to celebrate Day of the Dead and give your classroom a hint of spookiness.
