Hello! My name is Delia and I´ve been teaching English and Spanish as foreign languages for more than 15 years now.
At present, I teach Spanish in the PYP system.
The resources I sell in my shop are mainly card games. I use them to spice up my lessons and have the kids talk in the target language as much as possible.

This game is a version of the classic I-Have-Who-Has game.
This game is designed to practice using the verb “ponerse”, identifying and naming clothes, parts of the body, weather and places you go. It is a great way to practice the newly taught vocabulary, as well as reading and listening skills…

Distribute all the cards randomly to the students.
The ideal number of players is 7 (4 cards for each student), but it can be played with up to 14. For bigger classes, you might want to print several copies.
Select a student to begin by reading his card out loud and then putting it down.
The other students listen attentively to each question, answer it if they have the answer card and then they read the next question. The game is over when all the cards are down.
This worksheet is designed to practice naming and identifying several items of clothing, shoes and accessories, as well as the verbs ´llevar´and ´ponerse´ in its singular forms (yo, tú, él, ella) and some exercises that address the agreement between noun and adjective (colors).
It includes a varied selection of listening, reading and writing exercises, drawing and coloring, a word bank, two grammar boxes, puzzles (crosswords and word-search) etc.
It also includes a couple of printable matching card games that are especially designed to introduce and practice the agreement of noun and adjective (colors).
Both are matching card games and the first one can be used as a inquiry activity to allow the students make connections with their previous knowledge and come up with the rules of agreement in Spanish themselves.

This game is a classic game of matching cards.
There are 40 word cards with their corresponding 40 picture cards.
I use it to introduce the new vocabulary through inquiry, asking the students to match the words to the pictures, with the help of cognates, previous knowledge, group or pair work etc.
I usually split the students into groups and give each group a set of cards, as competition motivates them. It is a good idea to print each set on different colored paper, to prevent the sets from mixing. If you do not have colored paper at hand, you could also mark the back of the cards with a different colored marker or highlighter BEFORE you laminate them.
INSTRUCTIONS
Print the document one-sided, laminate and cut out.
Give all the cards to the students and ask them to pair up pictures and words.
More ways of using the cards:
As a memory game - In small groups or pairs, students arrange the cards face down in rows and columns. They take turns in turning over 2 cards until they find a pair. They get to keep the pairs they find and count them at the end of the game. Whoever has more pairs, wins the game.
In pairs, students take any 4 to 6 picture cards and they take turns in showing one card each to their partner and eliciting the word for it. Students who say the correct word, keep the card and count them at the end of the game. Whoever has more cards, wins the game. When they finish with their cards, they can swap their cards with another pair’s cards.
Similar to Spoon game - Deal all the cards to the students. The objective is to make as many pairs as possible without showing your cards to anyone. At the teacher’s signal, students put down one card to their left and then take the card on their right. When they make a pair, they put it down and continue until they get rid of all their cards.Whoever finishes the cards first, wins.
The teacher deals all the word cards to the students and keeps the picture cards in a pile. Teacher shows the picture cards one by one and elicits the word. If the student who has that card knows the word and says it out loud, they take the card to make a pair. If they don’t, the teacher puts the picture card away. Students count their pairs at the end of the game. Whoever has more pairs, wins the game. This can be done vice versa, too, with the teacher dealing the picture cards and keeping the word cards.
