The slides also include translations and guidance on how to pronounce the words in Spanish for non specialist teachers.

The six activities are:

1. Matching - students match the words to the pictures.
2. Picture splat - teacher says the target vocabulary and two students compete to be the first to splat the picture.
3. What’s missing - numbers disappear from the slide and students say what has disappeared
4. Quick flash - pictures are displayed momentarily. Students put their hand up and say what the picture is. Click again and the picture appears. Click a third time and the word in Spanish appears.
5. Blockbusters – students complete to say the target vocabulary to cross from one side of the board to another.
6. Board Game – can be printed off for group/pair work. Students throw the dice to move along the spaces. When they land on a ‘casilla’ (square), students say the target language.

Each game includes instructions and key phrases the teacher can use in Spanish.

The PowerPoint can be used repeatedly over a half term to teach and practice key vocabulary.
