For anyone not familiar with the game uno, your object is to be the first to get rid of your cards, having put down on a similar colour or number/ instruction. These cards have no number figures or colours, just words, so before the children play they may choose to colour the cards and add the symbols, or they can just cut them out and play as they are. I encourage learners to say the Spanish aloud and challenge each other on the meaning.

I will wait for you! There are many examples of the future simple in this Matt Monroe song (that you can download from Amazon for pence), and because he is English the words are very clearly pronounced. Activities to open the song for learners.

Happy birthday to you song to colour in a sing, birthday activity mini snap game, and a calendar to note all our friends' birthdays.

Learners complete a checklist indicating if they find a given aspect of a type of holiday to be a good thing of a bad thing. Learners look at the example scripts, then create their own texts giving the advantages and disadvantages of a place they have visited.

Match the pictures of animals to the words - so many are easy to guess. Complete your book - all you need to do is write in 'Este' - this - at the beginning of each sentence, and colour in the animals.

The children use the books to find translations for English polite phrases, then we made posters to display 'Las palabras mágicas' in the classroom.

Several food items, labelled in Spanish, on 2 shelves. Learners write sentences about where their items are in relation to each other. Learners cut out the items so they can be moved about, then listen to each other's sentences and place the items on the shelves as described. Is the final result the same as the picture being described?

I take in lego type bricks to put room stickers on, and once the learners have worked through learning adjectives, room names with pelmanism, and made sentences on paper to describe houses, they create home layouts with the bricks to describe to each other.

There are 2 little folding pages - one about owls and one about fish. The language and actions may be repeated with these two sheets. I have put the chants and the instructions in the lesson plan.

Products of the farm, milking a cow, making a pig's face, finding capital and small letters amongst the chicks and eggs. A fun lesson that requires 4 members of staff the way I did it.

I choose 3 children to hide under a sheet, then get everybody to sing Debajo de la sábana. At the end I choose children to name the people hidden under the sheet. I use a tune from Diez deditos 'Debajo del botón'. The document I have loaded turns into a little guessing display presentation when I have put a flap over the main picture, so the children can guess which character is 'Debajo de la sábana'. Sometimes I write the first letter of the character's name on the flap.

The front sheet is printed and children complete details of their school. Then they choose one of the three monsters, and decide on the number of eyes etc. Once they have written sentences about their monster they can cut it out and stick it to the other side of their front sheet. I show the children how to make opening mouths for the monsters, in the same way as Easter cards have chicks with opening beaks. Then the sentences they wrote go on the very back. Lots of cutting and sticking.

Here is the song and stickers to put on bodies! I ask the children to try to draw the items if they can.

In addition to these 2 books with sentences about manners that learners earn points for using, I like learners to make a poster of 'las palabras mágicas' - please, thankyou, pardon, etc. in Spanish.

The children in my Spanish club sing this as one of their weekly songs. They learned it while making pet arañas to take home.

A short story with threes that the children can respond with 3 actions to each page. The pages can then be altered to other numbers so the children can give different number of reponses. There is a little book for the children to colour and take home.

Simple statements which can be introduced with pictures, acted out in a drama class, then followed up by illustrating a mini book. The document is printed on both sides of one sheet, then it will cut down the middle long-ways to fold into a book.

There are sentences to trace over and space for children to put their faces. I like to get passport photos of the children and they can cut out their faces and stick them in.
