Worksheet to practise Spanish verbs in preterite and imperfect using the Toy Story song Cambios extraños ‘strange things’ - if pupils have already had plenty of receptive practice with these tenses, you could do this as a conjugation practice exercise - pupils complete the conjugations and then listen to the song and check their answers. Or, you could use this during the receptive processing stage of practice - by this point, they are familiar with the endings and this provides an opportunity to practise them through listening, they listen, and using their knowledge of endings and phonics, write what they hear. You could also ask them a few comprehension questions on the song or get them to find specific vocab or phrases, based on their level. Song available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmLInAm_u_k
