Expressions: Me encantan los mariscos y el pescado. Me gusta la ensalada. Me gustan las verduras. No me gusta el pollo. Me gusta el carne. Como el arroz. Tomo salchichas. De primer plato tomo sopa. Desayuno huevos y fruta. De postre hay una tarta y helado. This presentation presents food items: seafood, fish, salad, vegetables, chicken, meat, rice etc and revises opinions in Spanish. The first slides have each item of food in Spanish plus and opnion with a picture. The teacher should use this to elicit the meaning in English and drill the pronunciation. There is then a "beat the teacher" to revise the learning at the end or during the following lesson. Beat the teacher is played like this: The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Finally, use the final slide to pounce on the students and ask ¿Qué es?

This PowerPoint presentation gives examples of direct object pronouns using items of clothing. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class using the individual slides followed by drilling. If you have a stamper facility on your interactive whiteboard, a fun game is to ask the students to recite the Spanish phrases over and over whilst you gradually cover the words in stampers e.g. smileys or apples making it more and more difficult – simple but fun! Another easy game is to send one student out of the room. The remaining class chooses a student to give a top secret signal – this could be a sound e.g. a deliberate sneeze or cough, or something visual e.g. an obvious stretch, zipping/unzipping their pencil case etc. The students then repeat the first phrase again and again until they see or hear the signal. The students then repeat the second phrase again and again until they see or hear the signal and so on. The student who has been sent out must then try to figure out who the secret signal giver is!

The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. I use the second slide to drill the new vocabulary, for graded questioning or for the students to question each other: Spanish to English, English to Spanish and finally challenge the students to say all of the days of the week with their eyes closed. Worksheet: There are 3 sections: an English - Spanish match up, then a wordsearch and finally an unjmbling exercise (tell the students to do this from memory to stretch them!).

This presentation describes clothes in Spanish. The first slides have each item of clothing in Spanish with a picture. The teacher should use this to elicit the meaning in English and drill the pronunciation. Then there is graded questioning. Firstly there are multiple choice slides followed by whats missing memory game slides. There is then a "beat the teacher" slide to revise the learning at the end or during the following lesson followed by a ¿Qué es? slide where you can pounce on unsuspecting students! Expressions: shirt, trousers, shoes, skirt, socks, jeans, shorts, trainers, jacket, jumper, t-shirt. These English - Spanish matching cards can be used either to elicit vocabulary describing clothing or to revise previous learning. Expressions: Camiseta con mangas cortas 100% algodón Rebeca con cremallera Cinturón de cuero Camisa con motivo de dragón en la parte delantera Compré unas zapatillas de deporte Pantalón cómodo en tejido resistente Las camisas son más caras que las botas. La 42/44 es la talla más grande Las sandalias son más baratas que los zapatos. Voy a comprar unos pantalones con seis bolsillos. You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards Level 2 = match the cards and then have quick fire questions from Spanish to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the Spanish cards which the student must translate into English from memory. Level 3 = The quick fire questions are from English to Spanish. Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the Spanish cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct Spanish card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!

This presentation elicits the formation of various adverbs in Spanish including the irregular mal and bien. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new grammar: working in pairs/teams, using their prior knowledge and knowledge of other languages to figure out the meanings: All: In pairs/groups translate the sentences. Most: Figure out how the rules to make adverbs from adjectives (in brackets). Some: Which are the irregular adverbs (which don’t follow a pattern)? Come up with clever ways to remember the rules and the irregular adverbs. Me levanto, me ducho y me visto rápidamente (rápido). Normalmente cocino (normal). Desafortunadamente tenemos un examen (desafortunado). Juego bien al fútbol (bueno). Toco la guitarra muy mal (malo). Use the following slides to elicit the translation, the rule and to drill. There is a recap slide and a final slide of the new phrases.

This presentation presents where you live, what kind of home in Spanish. Expressions: Vivo en una casa. Vivo en un piso. Vivo en un piso en un bloque moderno. Vivo en un piso en un bloque antiguo. Vivo en un chalet. Vivo en una granja. The first slides have each type of home in Spanish with a picture. The teacher should use this to elicit the meaning in English and drill the pronunciation. Then there is graded questioning. Firstly there are multiple choice slides followed by whats missing memory game slides. You can also use the final slide to play a game of "beat the teacher" to revise the learning at the end or during the following lesson. Beat the teacher is played like this: The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

The first PowerPoint slide has all the phrases to be taught on it: 1. Hola. 2. Buenos días. 3. Buenas tardes. 4. Buenas noches. 5. ¿Qué tal? 6. ¡Fenomenal! 7. Muy bien, gracias. 8. Bien, gracias. 9. Bien. 10. Fatal. It encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. I always elicit a gesture to represent each greeting which can then be used for a fun game of Simon Says! The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the new vocabulary. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! This worksheet has 3 sections, the first is a word match for English and Spanish greetings. Vocabulary: 1. Hola. 2. Buenos días. 3. Buenas tardes. 4. Buenas noches. 5. ¿Qué tal? 6. ¡Fenomenal! 7. Muy bien, gracias. 8. Bien, gracias. 9. Bien. 10. Fatal. The next section is a complete the sentence challenge where certain letters have been removed. Make this more difficult by telling the students to cover up the Spanish words listed above. The next (extra) section involves unjumbling a group of words to find the correct greetings. Again, make this more difficult by telling the students to cover up the Spanish words listed above. Then there is an extension task to create their own crossword. The battleships can be used to reinforce the new expressions. Please see another battleships product description for instructions on how to play - I have reached my word limit for this resource description!!

Battleships Expressions: La televisión está El armario está El ordenador está La mesa está La silla está La lámpara está encima de las estanterías. debajo de la cama. delante de la ventana. al lado de la alfombra. detrás de la puerta. I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the Spanish version and then try to play the game saying the Spanish phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the Spanish version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the Spanish version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the Spanish version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. Enjoy!
