Dia de muertos and other festivals

A lesson based around Dia de Muertos and other traditional festivals of the Spanish speaking world.

It includes a fun and captivating video on Dia de Muertos, a listening+reading task based on it, and a super engaging running dictation again based on Dia de Muertos!

My class loved this running dictation and even the challenging pupils took part and tried their best. For the running dictation text, open the Word document, print it as many times as needed, and display it around the classroom allowing for enough space so the pupils need to get up and walk towards it to read it - it won’t work well if they can read it from their desks.

Other slides include another listening+reading task about curious Spanish festivals - this task is a good revision for the present tense (focusing on ‘nosotros’ y ‘ellos/as’.
