Spanish Years 8, 9 and GCSE - Past Holidays, using the preterite tense. 3 Resources.

These 3 resources all use the Preterite Past Tense and focus primarily on the topic of Holidays.
They can be used with lower years, to practise the tense, after having learned the verb endings or the activities can be used as revision for GCSE pupils. Useful 'Holidays' vocab is also included.

(1) Preterite spelling test - on PP in English for pupils to write Spanish. Also, there is a Word document with gaps to fill, for less able pupils.
Answers are on Slide 2, under the coloured boxes, which will exit on clicking.

(2) Fueron de Excursion - worksheet introducing some new infinitive verbs that are used in Listos 3 and GCSE Spanish book, when talking about Las Vacaciones. Pupils match English and Spanish, either using previous knowledge and/or near cognates, or they can use a dictionary to help.
Then, they have to say if the subsequent verbs have the correct preterite endings. They need to correct any errors.

(3) Holidays Preterite Paragraph Maker + Questions - the paragraph can either be made by pupils writing the sentences given, in the correct order on the lines given OR the font is size 16, so pupils can cut out the sentences and stick them in the correct order in their books (for the more kinaesthetic).

Once the paragraph is complete, there is a GCSE Reading-style question, with a grid where pupils must tick the 4 correct statements, according to the text.

Then, there is an Antonym exercise. I have written on the sheet that this means 'Opposites' and have given an example. I have given 4 Spanish words which are the opposites of 4 words in the text. Pupils have to find the antonyms from the text and copy them in Spanish and then, they translate these into English.
This exercise helps pupils identify key language and also it helps to broaden their vocabulary.

I hope these are helpful for your pupils.
