I am currently a Spanish teacher and I was tired of looking for effective, straightforward teaching resources for my Spanish students so I decided to make them myself! Prior to teaching, I was professionally trained in curriculum design & development. Today, my materials and approach to teaching Spanish are used by Spanish teachers all across the country! I am new to TES but wanted to explore another avenue for sharing my teaching resources with as many people as possible! Happy teaching!

This listening activity works with a great free online resource through YouTube called “Buena Gente.” There are six episodes and each is between approximately 4-10 minutes long. Follow Sofía and Mateo on a journey where they attempt to find the owner of some very important belongings left behind in their new apartment! All episodes are based in Mexico.
I recommend this activity for students in grades 5 or higher, with at least one full year of Spanish. (This material reinforces grammatical concepts typically covered in a Spanish 1 & 2 HS course.)
These listening exercises are a great way for students to practice comprehension, learn new vocabulary, and discuss grammatical concepts like preterite vs. imperfect, the use of the subjunctive, the future tense, and more! The actors speak very slowly and clearly. I recommend showing these videos with the Spanish subtitles on for the first time and without them the second or third time. After watching, have students work alone or in groups to answer the questions. Review answers with the class to work on pronunciation and to answer any questions. A great tool to reinforce learning!
Worksheets for each episode include a review of verbs, vocabulary introduced in the video, true & false questions, fill-in-the-blanks, question & answer or multiple choice.
Links to jump directly to “Buena Gente” episodes through YouTube are also provided along with an answer key!
This is lesson 1 (28 pages) that covers a review of the basics. This lesson is intended for students who have already been introduced to these basics but could use a refresher.
“Basics” includes worksheets covering the following Spanish fundamentals:
Greetings & Goodbyes
Calendar
Seasons & Weather
Colores
Shapes

A listening exercise for young Spanish students made in collaboration with Calico Spanish!
This is a simple exercise to help students with listening, comprehension, and writing skills by listening to a simple story by Calico Spanish.
First, have students listen to the story on YouTube called “Pedro, el Pez” by Calico Spanish. (Link included.)
Then, have students complete the next two worksheets working together as a class.
Finally, have students color the coloring page at the end for fun! (One basic, and one a little more difficult.)
Teacher Tip! After watching the video, use the story props on page 7 to ask questions about the story. For example…
¿De qué color es Pedro?
¿De qué color es la guitarra de Pedro?
¿A quién conoce Pedro?
¿Cómo se llama el niño?
¿Tiene Pedro una pizza?
¿Tiene Pedro un piano?
¿Qué tiene Pedro?
Etc.

Reinforce learning of possessive adjectives with this fun board game! The object of the game is to be the first person to collect at least two flashcards in all categories using the correct possessive adjective & associated vocabulary word based on the picture.
In order to play this game, students should first be familiar with Spanish possessive adjectives, (singular & plural), and simple vocabulary associated with food, school items, family members, household items, personal items, animals, and clothing. (Alternatively, you can write Spanish vocabulary words on the back of the flashcards if you want to focus on the possessive adjectives alone.)
Possessive adjectives covered by this game are:
MI, MIS
TU, TUS
SU, SUS
NUESTRO(A), NUESTROS(AS)
VUESTRO(A), VUESTROS(AS)
SU, SUS
Print out the game board on white card stock and cut into two half-size game boards, (you may need multiple copies). Laminate or use page protectors for durability. Print out flashcards on white card stock. Cut along the lines.
For this game you will need:
Game board, one per player

First, have students listen to the story on YouTube called “Así Me Gusta a Mí” by Calico Spanish.
Then, have students listen to “Chocolate, Uno, Dos Tres…” by Calico Spanish.
Then, have students complete the worksheets working together as a class.
