This resource contains over 35 Power Point slides including varied activities (with all solutions included), texts, clips and illustrations on the topic of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Task types include: translating, matching up, filling the gaps, ‘true or false’ and prompts for writing and speaking.

The main outcome is to learn/revise facts, vocabulary and phrases related to the topic, as part of the Customs and Festivals section of the GCSE syllabus.
