This is a revision carousel for the topic of HEALTH where you can do a learning by stations. You divide the class in 4 groups and each one spend 10 minutes on each activity (or more, depending on how long is your lesson). Each activity is explained for you and students to understand how all of them work. Answers are also provided when necessary. I make it more exciting by giving students points for each activity they finish and giving prizes at the end depending on how many points they have!

Some templates to play “Guess who?” with different topics: Hair and eyes description, family (brothers and sisters) and animals. I created a first version of this in 2018 during my PGCE and have been using and updating it ever since and my students absolutely love when I bring it to class. This resource includes: Instructions on different ways to play Four different pages to play with different Disney/film characters and with different things (just characters for physical descriptions, characters +siblings, characters + siblings and animals). The siblings are the ones that those characters have, the animals are made up :) Hope you like it!

A version of Spot it! for language learners. It can be used in any language as long as you have learned numbers and colours! You play just like the game “Spot it!”. All you need to do is print and cut the cards and you will have your own set! It has 31 cards so depending on your class size you can print more sets. Hope you like it!

This is a revision carousel where you can do a learning by stations. You divide the class in 5 groups and each one spend 10 minutes on each activity (or more, depending on how long is your lesson). Each activity is explained and can easily be adapted to any topic. I use it with year 7 and year 8s who have just started learning the language. I make it more exciting by giving students points for each activity they finish and giving prizes at the end depending on how many points they have!

A fun lesson where students will have to find out who from all of the guests to a party made the Secret Santa presents disappear! Students will work through five clue worksheets to eliminate suspects from the list of guests until they find out who is “guilty”. The clues include vocabulary related to rooms in the house, German foods (including Christmas typical snacks), Christmas vocabulary, a cultural text in English about Christmas in Germany and the present tense. This mistery is based on the amazing Halloween resource by @BaysideTeachingResources that I bought to do with my students, so you will notice that the powerpoint starts mentioning it. The list of the guests is the same so if you have her resource you could do this one as a follow up. If you don’t know it, you should definitely check it for next Halloween! And just skip the part where it says “Ollie felt bad about what happened in Halloween”. This resource includes a ppt presentation to show the class, the student pack and a teacher guide with the answers. I use it with yr 7,8,9 and 10 (with year 10s I only allow them to be individually/pairs, and with the other groups they are allowed to work in groups) Hope you enjoy it!

This is a powerpoint I created some years ago and I update every year with up-to-date videos and information. It can be for a whole lesson or even two, and it’s a guide to different things and traditions celebrated in Spain before and during Christmas. It includes a questionaire for the students to do at the beginning to check their previous knowledge (they usually only are able to answer a couple of questions) and they can complete it throughout the lesson. The lesson includes information and videos about: Christmas tradition in Cataluña- tio de nadal Spanish lottery Christmas’ Eve and New Year’s Eve Christmas Day and New Year Spanish equivalent to April Fools Three Wise Men night and Day Present tense grammar and some future grammar Vocabulary about Christmas On the second slide there are instructions for the teacher and the last slide has the answer to the questionaires. Almost every slide has videos or links, if you hover above the pictures you will be able to see them. On each slide if you click on the blue title you will go back to the calendar. I use it from yr7 to yr11 varying the activities, it’s a powerpoint so you can adapt it to the level of your group. Hope you enjoy it! PS. It’s important that you open it with POWERPOINT and NOT with Google slides so all the animations work well.

I made a German version of a card game I always play with my friends. In Spanish it’s called “the wolf” or “the town sleeps”. One player is “the wolf” and the others are “villagers” or some other special roles. The wolf wins when they eliminate all the villagers without being caught, otherwise the villagers win if they find out who is the wolf. It’s a game that I use in class to use language in a real-life context (what’s more real life than playing a cardgame with your friends?!) , listening and speaking. At the beginning I start leading the game, but soon the students are so engaged that they want to lead it! Hope you like it :)
