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.

A Spanglish game story

(0)
As I read this story to the children they have short intervals to do what the children in the story are doing. They end up inventing a game called La monja and el diablo in which some language can be used - either English or Spanish. Every group of children invent a different game.

Small groups of children throw a dice aiming to get 123456 in that order. When they get 1 they can colour in the boots, but only if they can name them in Spanish. For younger children, they can colour in the boots but only after they have traced over the words in Spanish.

Observe the puddle shrink

(0)
I make a book about the shrinking puddle and read it with the children. On a sunny day we make puddles with watering cans in the yard, then we chalk around them and return to them at intervals to rechalk. This book reflects this activity and gives you Spanish language to incorporate into the activity.
All Red - for Spanish speaking teachers.

All Red - for Spanish speaking teachers.

(0)
The idea is for the children to colour strips of paper as the words indicate (all red, mostly red, a little red) and then cut them out. The learners follow the teacher's Spanish instructions to make shapes with their strips of paper.

Matt Monro sings Spanish future

Matt Monro sings Spanish future

(0)
A typically drama filled lovesong from Matt Monro, which is easy to understand due to the clear pronunciation of a singer who's native tongue is not Spanish. I have made a wordsearch, strings of words, and gapfill lyrics to engage learners with the song and the future tense. I can&'t include the song here, but I have included guidance on where to buy it. I hope that helps.

Describing people, problems, and solutions

This lesson shows learners how to give advice in Spanish, and has several 'problems' that can be developed and used to practice the advice language. I have also included a 'Ser and Estar' poster making activity because we think about inherent permanent aspects of a person and ones that are changeable in this class.
