This is a classic card game of pairs. It is designed for the students to practice describing animals. The goal is to form and discard pairs of cards. There are three sets of cards: The first set has cards that describe animals (Vive en… / Come …/ Es … Tiene …/ Da … / Hace …). The second set has cards with images of the animals and the written Spanish word under the image. The third set has only images of the animals, without the written word. Print the document one-sided, laminate and cut out the cards. DIRECTIONS: Print the document one-sided, laminate and cut out the cards. The ideal number of players is 4 (4 cards for each student), but it will also work with 2 to 8 players. For bigger classes, you might want to print several copies. Distribute all the animal cards. You can choose whether to use the set with or without the Spanish names of the animals. Put the description cards face down in a pile. The teacher takes a description card and reads it out loud. The student who has the described animal, says its name in Spanish and gets the card to form a pair. After the students have played the game a few times, they will be able to take turns in reading the description cards themselves in pairs or groups.

This is a simple board game designed to practice identifying family members and pets in Spanish. There are two different versions, one with the members of the family and the other with pets.

INSTRUCTIONS Print on A3 paper or cardboard and laminate. You will need counters and dice. The students take turns to throw the dice and move the counters. On each square they fall, they must construct and say out loud the word that names the picture. If they fall on the goose, they must say the magic formula “De oca a oca y tiro por que me toca”, and then they can advance to the next goose and throw the dice a second time.
