This is a reading comprehension text on Holidays with tasks based on the text. It includes 5 activities and an answer key at the end. For the writing task I have provided a model answer as the task is subjective to the student.
This is aimed at KS3 but could easily be used for lower sets at GCSE and as a revision task for those on the Foundation tier. I had a lot of fun creating these actvities and am curious of how people have found it. Please let me know!

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 is a bundle of the famous trapdoor activity that I’ve created for Y7 Spanish. The bundle contains 4 trapdoor activities for the following topics:

It includes the following activities:
Highlighter race

Categorisation of nouns, adjectices, and verbs relating to Día de los Muertos
Mindreader/Bingo

Speaking Task (survey-like exercise)
The activities have teacher instructions where needed, in the notes section of each slide in the PPT.

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.

All tasks are in a PPT format so they can be edited to your liking!

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!
