Perfect for young learners of Spanish and an ideal introduction to the animal kingdom in Spanish. They provide lots of opportunities to learn a range of animals, both***masculine and feminine***, and really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Children can develop their skills in word recognition and recall, pronunciation, speaking, listening and reading in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They’re a great way of introducing the concept of gender, and of looking at the indefinite article in Spanish too.

It doesn’t matter is any of the animals don’t feature in your immediate or even longer-term learning plan: the card games encourage children to engage happily and confidently with Spanish, to identify cognates and near-cognates, and to begin to link spelling with sound in Spanish. They also help learners begin to work out the meaning of unknown words using both visual clues and prompts, as well as linguistic indicators.

There are 24 animals featured, across a series of decks, which enable you to vary and differentiate your games:

Deck 1: picture and words cards, with both an image of, and the word for, the animal in Spanish, which is useful for multi-skill learning, particularly in the introductory phase of learning animal vocabulary, and for familiarising students with the written word in Spanish.

Deck 2: picture-only cards, useful for vocabulary recall

Deck 3: word-only cards in French, useful for word recognition, reading and spelling.

Deck 4: word-only cards in English, useful for a variety of games focusing on vocabulary recall

Deck 5: both Spanish & English words on a single card, useful for close comparison of language, and recognition of corresponding words
