Here it is, a real labour of love. A and complete unit of 12 hour-long lessons for Unit 2 (Health) of the new Spanish GCSE. Designed for AQA with the Oxford University Press book in mind but suitable for other exam boards. I LOVE to plan original, engaging lesson content which is varied, challenging, and has relevant support. It has been checked, polished and should be of a high standard. If you do find any typos, please do let me know so I can correct them- I am only human :) Equally if you do make a purchase, PLEASE do leave a review!!
No tasks from the textbook have been included- ALL tasks are completely original and made by me. There are 2 cases where I recommend listening tasks from the textbook but only page numbers are given. This is in order to ensure copyright is not breached.

Questions:
Q: Which specification is this for? It is designed with the new AQA spec. in mind but may be similar for other exam boards. While based on content from the AQA OUP textbook, the order is often not the same and grammar points may differ. If unsure, please check the medium-term plan posted on my Facebook group ‘Mrs. Costa’s resources - Spanish (new) GCSE & more’.
Q: Where are the listening files? There are no listening files included- there are 2 listening tasks from the textbook but for this only page numbers are given to ensure copyright is not breached. Other listening tasks are for the teacher to read aloud.
Q: Help the formatting has gone funny! Ensure your slide size is ‘Standard 4:3’ - via page setup - before pasting into Google slides.
A robust and complete unit of lessons for Unit 1 of the new Spanish GCSE. Designed for AQA with the Oxford University Press book in mind but suitable for other exam boards. Please note, only 4 tasks have been used from the Oxford University Press book (only 4 out of over 250 slides), and for these 4 tasks only screenshots have been removed to prevent copyright breach- instead, page numbers are given so that those with access to the book can use them in the lesson sequence). ALL other tasks are completely original, made by me.

First 5 lessons of the GCSE Spanish course- AQA but also suitable for other exam boards. I have edited and improved these in response to the new GCSE course (2026). Activities all include challenge activities and support boxes, and are designed so that all learners can access the tasks and be stretched. Vocabulary grids for these 5 lessons are included and can be printed as an aid for students to refer back to. NB the final grid is not covered in these lessons but provides a guide for lessons moving on from these ones- onto family member revision and beginning to describe family relationships.
I have put a great deal of time into making this as engaging as possible and as easy to use for teachers as possible- all answers are provided and appear in turn, the slides are completely editable, and any sheets are already prepared on printable slides which don’t appear in slideshow mode. The lessons cover all skills. However, if there is something I have missed- a typo, or a mis-animation, please do let me know so I can fix it!
If you do find these lessons useful, please do consider leaving a review. Thanks :)

TWO revision wheels to help students recap key vocabulary and structures from Unit 1 (AQA GCSE Spanish - Me, my family, and friends).
The first one is for the students to write in all the content they can for each section (sub-topic) of the wheel, and the second one allows them to use the content from the first wheel to answer the questions (which can also be used as speaking questions). A nice visual way to recap and review Unit knowledge or to prepare for an assessment.
Includes colour and black-and-white versions. PDF formats.
