The next section of slides have complete the sentence questions (I have removed some letters). Then there is a ¿Qué es? slide with pictures of all the new vocabulary. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love!The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

This one slide PowerPoint teaches students how to say their age. Battleships Expressions: Tengo Tienes Miguel tiene Antonio tiene Javier tiene Tenemos once años. doce años. trece años. catorce años. quince años. dieciséis años. Battleships Game Instructions The students love this competitive and fun game! I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. The students then focus on pronunciation and decide the two easiest and two most difficult words to pronounce. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the Spanish version and then try to play the game saying the Spanish phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the Spanish version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the Spanish version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the Spanish version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. Enjoy!

The students play this in small groups practising not only classroom vocabulary, but also thinking more imaginatively e.g. clothing, colours and vocabulary such as "hair" and "eyes." Therefore this can be used with a variety of year groups. Enjoy!

I use this simple presentation to present the 12 hour clock in Spanish. Eliciting the English and drilling the phrases. A fun activity to do is to then say a time which the students make with their bodies (one arm for the big hand, one arm for the small hand). Battleships: Expressions: Es la una Son las dos Son las cuatro Son las seis Son las siete Son las once y cuarto. y media. menos cuarto. y diez. y veinte. menos cinco. menos veinticinco. Plenary/ warmer: I use this 1 slide warmer activity/ pleanary having taught the time (12 hour clock). Give the students a mini-whiteboard each. Click on the presentation and a time will appear e.g. Es la una. The students must draw a clock (analogue or digital) with the correct time. Click again for the extension activity which is a jumbled up time: e.g. y son siete media las. The students must write this in the correct order e.g. Son las siete y media and then draw the clock. An additional extension could be to then change this to the 24 hour clock. There are 4 times to draw and unjumble. This should take approximately 15 minutes. Times covered include: Son las ocho menos cuarto Son las tres y cuarto Son las once menos veinticinco. Son las nueve menos veinte Son las cuatro menos cuarto

Spanish PowerPoint: the Imperfect tense for for descriptions and the time. This focuses on building phrases rather than grammatical rules. Phrases presented: Era la una. Eran las dos.

To which their classmates reply: Sí, tengo ___________________________ No, no tengo un animal. There is a box to remind students how to use plurals: Plurals!
