This is a mat that contains all key grammar aspects studied in Alevel.
Indicative tenses
Subjunctive tenses
Ser / Estar
Por / Para
Gerunds
Passives
If Clauses
V + prepositions
And lots more!
My students absolutely love it and have it with them all the time. It has become their most valuable reference guide for grammar.
Please, note that the STARS only appear in page 1 and 4. Don’t print those pages. Print pages 2 and 3 and you won’t have the stars.
Also, this is an A3 mat so I would recommend to print with A3 printing settings.
Here are the higher level mats I have made for my students.
I created a new “more” Spanish mnemonic for them since I really liked the one our French department uses for higher level French language (croissant). I also wanted to encourage them to use other aspects of the language like Direct and Indirect Object pronouns or “verbos de cambio”.
We do La casa and El Laberinto and these 2 mats compliment the other ones they have (you can find them in my shop here).
I have also included the Chipirones Ladders game I made recently. Whilst students practice with a card or general conversation questions, they have to use the game board and move up the ladders. In each step they have to use certain grammar. There are 2 games, one to just practise chipirones and the other one includes opinion phrases. Students will need a counter and they move their counter one box at a time. The aim is to get to the top of the ladder.
Please, note that the stars are only in the first page! The second page has the same but without the stars. :)
Hope your students find them useful!

This booklet includes the AQA mark scheme, a quotes exercise, 11 essay exercises that come with bullet points and 8 essay titles without a bullet point.
I added as well for my students essay phrases so that they can have it all in one place.
The A3 planner is basically a sheet that we use when writing an essay in class or that students can use at home to structure their essays a bit more.
I added some teacher feedback points that I normally highlight so that students see what they have to amend, change or add. I had the feeling that I was always writing the same things regarding the stucture and this teacher feedback box makes the marking a bit quicklier.
Regarding the accuracy and errors I tend to use a blue highlighter for the errors that I think that they can correct themselves. Then, next lesson, they have to show me their corrections. If the structure is not quite what they need, I tend to ask them to staple a cue card and write down one of the paragraphs again following the feedback I give them.
¡Al fin acabé!
I have finally finished putting together oral questions to practice for the speaking.
This is a 26 pages booklet with a few hundred questions that students can use to practice but also to research some topic areas.
First couple of pages also include info about the oral examination and some tips.
And then, there is a bank of idioms that students can use with translations and examples of the idioms so that they can see how they would be used. They are all grouped per topic but can be used for lots of other topics.
I have put together 3 written mock papers for my students who have studied Pan's Lab.
They include 3 translation exercises following the AQA structure of the specification paper they have provided.
3 Pan's Lab papers.
Mark scheme for the translations and the translation grid to convert it into marks.
If you like it, please leave a review :)
The 5 topics included are:
Immigration
Racism
Living together
The young
Monarchies and dictatorships
These are the vocab lists my students use to learn the topic vocab. They also have these lists on Memrise. Please, leave your email when doing a review and I will email you the memrise links :)
Here is a mat I have made to revise those tricky words like pronouns, demonstratives, relative pronouns and other bits that students find very tricky.
Hopefully students will be able to improve their translation skills after completing the series of exercises I have prepared in the sheet.
The sheet includes about 7 exercises (3 pages) and the answers for the teacher.
Here you can find the imperfect subjunctive booklet I put together for my students plus 2 revision mats that help them to squeeze this tense in their oral and written work.
The booklet includes all the irregulars plus gapfill and translation exercises.
You can also find a ppt that includes a dice game. Have you got 20 sided dice? You will need some!
Students have to roll the dice to find out what verb they have to conjugate in the imperfect.
This is a 21 pages booklet with all the preterite irregulars (dirty 11, six pack, spelling change, ucir, uir, IR stem changing verbs, double vowel ones.
It includes lots of practice and translations for students.
Please download Candara and Helsinki fonts if you want to use the word document.
This booklet is ideal for Y12 but could also be used as retrieval for Y13.
Translations include vocab from Family and Idols.
Pack of resources for the future tense. It includes the revision mat that has the Simple Future on one side and the “IR A” future on the other side. It also includes an Irregular verbs display with the 12 irregulars (tener, saber, poner, poder…). My students find these type of mats very helpfull since they summarise everything they need to know for their tests.
Finally, I have also included a revision poster of the 12 irregular verbs. Ideal for the new GCSE curriculum but also for the Alevel curriculum.
All the documents are in pdf and word but you will need to install the fonts I have used for the word versions.
I have added a modified version I made for a Year 7 class.
Alevel game boards for the present and the preterite tenses. It includes all categories of irregulars.
When students fall in a square with 2 or 3 verbs, they conjugate the verbs given (Yo canto, tú cantas...). If they fall in an orange square, that is a speaking questions and they speak for a minute.
For the rest of La Oca rules, you will find a slide with the explanations.
This resource is a gameboard for the end of the year for AS students or for the beginning of the year for A2 students. The aim is to revise grammar and practise a bit the speaking.
Students work in pairs or in groups and roll the dice to get to the FIN square.
If the get a 6 when rolling the dice, they stay where they are and have to say 6 connectives.
One person in the group writes the connectives that are being said down so that they avoid repeating them. This will force them to think about more connectives.
Two posters, one for ser and another one for estar.
We have them near the board in class and students find it helpful when completing translations in A2. They can all have a quick look when encountering the verb “to be”.
Encourage your students to use more target language with this display :)
