There is no better way to teach kids clothing vocabulary in Spanish than with this fun, shopping simulation role-play game! A class favorite for sure! The objective of this game is to be the first “shopper” to buy at least one item of clothing from five different categories before your opponents, but be careful not to run out of money! Shoppers have €100 to spend at their favorite store in Spain! Included with this resource: “Mi Tienda Favorita” catalog Clothing flashcards (84 items!) Play money in EUROS Step-by-step instructions for playing the game Links to YouTube videos that introduce clothing vocabulary in Spanish SPANISH SKILLS/VOCABULARY: Clothing Vocabulary (84 vocabulary words of clothing, shoes & accessories) Numbers by 5’s to 100 How to Play… You are going shopping at your favorite clothing store in Spain! Choose up to 5 individual shoppers or teams and 1 store attendant to begin the game. Pass out a game board and €100 to each shopper. The store attendant will control the extra money for making change and the clothing items (flashcards). Shoppers have €100 to spend but they need to buy at least one item from each of the following categories: TOPS / DRESSES / COATS PANTS or SKIRTS SHOES ACCESSORIES HATS Roll the dice. You will choose one item from the category according to the roll of the dice. ¡DESCUENTO! If you roll a 6, the item is on sale! Take 50% off the price of any item you like! If you roll the dice and already have an item from that category, you may purchase something else from another player, from the store, or pass and wait for your next turn. You LOVE accessories! If you roll a 4, you MUST purchase something from the accessory category. In order to buy the item from each category, you must ask for it in Spanish using the correct vocabulary. (Refer to your catalog for help with this.) Keep your items on the game board by category. The first person to purchase at least one item from each category without running out of money wins!

This listening activity works with a great free online resource through YouTube called “Buena Gente.” There are six episodes and each is between approximately 4-10 minutes long. Follow Sofía and Mateo on a journey where they attempt to find the owner of some very important belongings left behind in their new apartment! All episodes are based in Mexico. I recommend this activity for students in grades 5 or higher, with at least one full year of Spanish. (This material reinforces grammatical concepts typically covered in a Spanish 1 & 2 HS course.) These listening exercises are a great way for students to practice comprehension, learn new vocabulary, and discuss grammatical concepts like preterite vs. imperfect, the use of the subjunctive, the future tense, and more! The actors speak very slowly and clearly. I recommend showing these videos with the Spanish subtitles on for the first time and without them the second or third time. After watching, have students work alone or in groups to answer the questions. Review answers with the class to work on pronunciation and to answer any questions. A great tool to reinforce learning! Worksheets for each episode include a review of verbs, vocabulary introduced in the video, true & false questions, fill-in-the-blanks, question & answer or multiple choice. Links to jump directly to “Buena Gente” episodes through YouTube are also provided along with an answer key!
