I used those games during the lesson in Year 4 and later send one version home to play as homework. Pupils played in pairs and used counters to mark their word. They played until one of them got 4 in a row. There are two versions - game 1 has suffixes given in each row; game 2 for higher ability - to add as many suffixes as they can (list of possible suffixes is included on the board). Have fun!

I used the presentation and worksheet as a memory game: I showed one slide to the class/they looked while I read the names/I covered it/pupils matched animals on their worksheet. Then pupils designed 'calligrams&' to help them remember the meaning of words. Here are my examples as a guide.

Spanish weather phrases - for students to add pictures and the correct verb (hace or está).<br /> I made it for Year 4 and used along with the song that I found on YouTube. The class was able to identify some verbs and the meaning of some phrases listening to the song. The song also revises days of the week.<br /> The second slide has answers for the octagon.

Nursery rhyme introducing family members in Spanish - link to you tube clip as well as the downloaded song in mp4 format.<br /> Whiteboard file includes fun activity to put in the books. I also explained a little bit the gender (la madre, el padre). Teacher's notes are included in the flipchart as well.<br /> As a class we also translated the song, so that we can sing it whole in Spanish to the same tune.
