I have a puppet that the children feed this food to. Then they colour in the pictures and practice theri writing as they trace the words.

The song counts down the number of spots on your dog as you wash him. The game will be familiar to most people, and I have put Spanish sentences on the cards to be read.

The puppet show just requires one puppet and the teacher, and is interspersed with Spanish words that the teacher and the puppet can encourage the children to say aloud.

These print onto the 3x7 sheets of stickers from WH Smith and I use them to get to know the names in new classes

I display this in my classroom so that people can easily look up and spell out a word.

This song is about feeling cold and rubbing your hands, face and fingers to get warm. A good start to the class.

A version of Oh Christmas Tree that uses a line of English then a line which translates it into Spanish.

There are big food flashcards. I print 2 each of these. One side of the gym is Inglaterra, and one side is España. Then I say in Spanish: 'I'm going to Spain to eat chips' and the children have to race to the correct picture in the correct country.

A set of activities and instructions that last me half a term and which give my upper primary children the language to play a game of guess who in Spanish, that they have made themselves.\nLanguage focus: facial features and colours

The children repeat sentences and guess meaning from pictures. Tutor models sentences without the N and asks which letter is missing. The children write in the letter n on the sheets to complete the words. The children sing a song and invent actions for it, which repeats the same sentences.

3 simple verses with music and words in Spanish and English translation. Good to sing at the beginning of a session. Actions to go with the song are self explanatory.

Children design their own board, then use these cards instead of dice to determine how many spaces they progress and whether they go up or down.

A very simple song using Spanish to play the 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' game. I ask the children to form a line and while they walk forwards I walk backwards in front of them. This keeps the game under control.

Lots of dominoes in full colour with words in English or Spanish to be matched. I laminated mine and use them as a treat for the children who have worked hardest.

Lots of ideas for teaching these words, to follow up with dotted, illustrated words to trace over and take home.

Lots of activities to learn facial features and colours, and some colouring.

Variations on a theme of 2 little dickie birds. I use a different creature each week, but otherwise the rhyme remains the same. Words, creature faces to stick on fingers, and an audio to hear how it sounds roughly.

A simple song, roughly recorded to give you an idea of the tune, and a nice plenary for reception classes as it lends itself to actions:\nJump bunnies, prick up your ears\nSleep bunnies, put down your ears.\nWords and music

I designed these activities with old jenga bricks that I painted, and developed them to be used once printed onto card and laminated. The activities teach colours and mucho, poco and todo.

A simple book that I read to a puppet, then the children can read to a soft toy. A pleasant break.
