This is a digital breakout that focuses on early 20th century Immigrants, Segregation, Urban Life and Political Corruption. The concept is similar to the escape room, where students will have to collaborate in order to crack the codes to the five locks on the homepage in order to “breakout” of the activity. This is entirely online and students can complete this without having to move about the room. No additional resources needed. Students will work in groups of 4 or 5 to read through the site in order to gather information of New Immigrants, Urban life at the turn of the 20th century, jim crow laws, as well as political machines. This is done by navigating through the site that has hidden links and fun challenges that will ultimately lead them to the codes they need to find. Students love this and it’s a great way to introduce or wrap up the chapter on the early 1900’s.

Students know Batman, Superman and Spiderman, but do they know the Latin equivalents like Kaliman, El gato Negro and El Dorado? Students love this take on a Spanish cultural lesson where they are first introduced to 9 superheroes of Latin America (ppt), and then asked to think about a superpower they would like to have. This is then followed by a project (word doc) that allows them to create their own superhero using ser + descriptions. As an additional element to the lesson I often let students’ superheroes compete in a competition where students describe their superheroes and the class votes on which one would win in a showdown. Think “Batman vs. Superman” If you enjoy this activity check out the follow up lesson here: Super-Villains of Latin America

This is a PowerPoint Presentation Jeopardy game that covers all major vocab and grammar structures in Spanish 1. I use this for my Final Exam Review day, but it is a nice recap that could be used at the start of Spanish 2 as well. vocab and grammar are based on the Realidades textbook, but it can be used for any level 1. Categories include (Vocab, verbs, definite and indefinite articles, possessive adjectives, Ir+a+infinitive, and a miscellaneous). It also has two double jeopardy plays and final jeopardy. I also throw a third element in my jeopardy games called club play where all teams playing have to be the first to come up with the correct answer if a club play pops up (it adds a nice dynamic to the game and keeps kids paying more attention when it is not their turn). Once club play is over the team that hit the club play originally will get to complete their standard turn. This PPT is set up to keep track of questions already asked and transitions from the home jeopardy screen to questions and back with ease (answers are also included on all slides with the click of a button)

Great Cumulative Spanish Review in both of these Powerpoint Jeopardy Games. This is a bundle of 2 Powerpoints, one for Spanish 1 and the other for Spanish 2. I use these as my final exam review day, but they could also be used as review at the beginning of the year for Spanish 2 and Spanish 3.

This wonderful, editable activity was designed for my Spanish 2 class but could be adjusted for levels 3 and 4 by adding more past tense in descriptions and clues. During the “party” a mysterious murder will occur and it is students’ jobs to talk to each other in the target language to gather and infer information to make an accusation at the end of the game. My students love this game and talk more in Spanish than in any other oral activity that we do. All students receive character cards days before the game starts to tell them how to act, what info they know and what secrets they have. Packet includes an optional prezi to guide the game, directions, plot, character cards, name tags, character list, clues and data report sheet for students to fill out while in conversation. Allow 2-3 days for completion. Designed for my Spanish 2 class but could be adjusted for levels 3 and 4 by adding more past tense in descriptions and clues.

The Cold War, John F. Kennedy, Nakita Khrushchev, and the Cuban Missile Crisis come to life in this U.S. History simulation. Let your students become Ex Comm Advisers to JFK and help him make decisions during that high stakes week in late October of 1962. Students can do this individually or in small groups. They will get to make real decisions that were being discussed during the crisis. It is set up similar to a choose your own adventure and students will be able to keep score of their progress. This product includes a PowerPoint and a Word Document that students complete as they go. This is a great way to get students discussing and gives them a chance to put themselves in the situation room and think about the effects their decisions will have on all those involved.This is designed for a one 55 min. class period. The word document is the free preview file and the PPT is the paid product.

This performance task includes a launch document and grading rubric as well as all four checkpoints with directions, neatly arrange so that students know exactly what they are to be doing and when each component is due. By the end of the task students will be able to discuss food and drink, restaurant vocabulary; they will be able to read and order from a Spanish menu that they created and they will have completed a 100 word restaurant review in Spanish.

This Simulation will have students talking about the Cold War for the rest of the semester. My students love this simulation! It is complex and detailed to the point that students get an authentic, hands-on experience as to what it was like to make some of the tough decisions as govt. leaders during the Cold War, yet it is simple enough to explain and execute with no high tech computer software required and very minimal prep work involved (only word docs). Students get to collaborate in groups as they represent different country during the Cold War. Each group will consist of a Chief Decision Maker, an Ambassador, an Economic Advisor and a Military Advisor (so all group members are involved). Over the course of four days, students will be faced with different scenarios from the Cold War and will attempt to reach their country’s customized objectives in order to score points. Students will have to collaborate within their own group as well as with other groups to accomplish these objectives. Students will also have to consider things such as trading natural resources and investing in their military/economy in order to develop their country for subsequent turns of the simulation. Included in this 19 page package is everything needed to complete the simulation; a user manual, a terminology page, chart templates, an assessment reflection sheet and all four scenarios. Scenario 1 is (Alliances NATO/Warsaw Pact), Scenario 2 is (Expansion vs. Containment), Scenario 3 (Collective Action Asian Influenza), Scenario 4 (Nuclear Proliferation). Duration of simulation is 5 days 55min. classes (1 day for explanation and 4 days for 4 scenarios). You will not be displeased with the engagement nor the higher-level of learning that takes place during this simulation.

This is an auction simulation covering store items vocabulary in Spanish. Shampoo, soap, lipstick, batteries, scarfs, shoes etc… This is an editable resource that could easily be change to fit any set of vocab. For example instead of store items it could be for clothing, foods etc… This is a conversational based activity that I use in Spanish 4. I do not recommend this for lower level Spanish classes because a lot of Spanish conversation and comprehension is required. As the teacher be prepared to lead this activity as the auctioneer. My students love this activity and really get into the bidding. Items for sale in the auction are contextualized for current pop culture. For example one item for sale is Kim Kardashian’s Personal Lipstick, another is Kanye West’s toothbrush. Play money is included with this resource. In pairs students must make decisions about what items they want to buy and must bid against other groups in order to win the item. When they purchase items they are given points. The team with the most points at the end wins the game. Duration is about 55 min.

Great Project for chapters covering stores and store items. Students create a Spanish Tv Commercial / Radio Ad that will be aired during the Super Bowl. It is their job to select a store and product and promote them. First students are asked to fill out the brainstorming doc., then create an advertisement plan, followed by a commentary outline. As a final step they are asked to voice or video record their ad to share with the class. Students really enjoy this project. I recommend this for Spanish 2 or higher. Allow 5/ 60 min classes for the entire PT including 1 day to show final products. This resource includes all detailed directions, checkpoints to keep students on task, launch document and grading rubric.

100% online and ready to go! No prep necessary! Back by popular demand! This is the sequel to my “Choose your own adventure zombie escape game”. This activity does NOT require that you complete part 1. This activity can be implemented as a stand-alone resource. That said, I highly recommend you start with part 1. It will be much more fun for the students. You can find it here: Zombie Escape Game Part 1 Part 1 is their escape from the school. Part 2 here is about saving the town from zombies. Just like part 1, most outcomes in this game lead to them encountering zombies and forces them to start over, however one path allows them to “save the day”. Along the way they will have to read through the Spanish story line and choose their own fate, in between decisions there are also a few google forms that ask them to write out the explanations to their decisions before moving forward in the game. This is a super engaging reading and writing exercise for upper level Spanish 3 or 4. I do not recommend this activity for lower level Spanish classes. Duration is 45-55 mins. **Game requires access to a computers or other tech devices. This is ran on google sites + google forms.

Make Spanish reading comprehension fun with this “zombie survival guide”. Students will read through the definition of a zombie, the virus, recommendations for surviving etc… then they will be asked 8 follow up comprehension questions. This makes for a great supplemental ready activity, homework or nice sub plan. I recommend this resource for levels 3 or higher. If your students like zombies I also have two awesome digital zombie escape rooms that I use with this lesson.

100% online and ready to go! No prep necessary! After happening upon a zombie in the janitor’s closet toward the end of the school day, students must quickly begin to make decisions on what to do about it. Each decision they make will lead to a different outcome. Most outcomes in the game lead to them encountering zombies and forces them to start over. However one path allows them to escape. Along the way they will have to read through the Spanish story line and choose their own fate, in between decisions there are also a few google forms that ask them to write out the explanations to their decisions before moving forward in the game. This is a super engaging reading and writing exercise for upper level Spanish 3 or 4. This is my favorite Spanish resource that I offer here on TpT! I do not recommend this activity for lower level Spanish classes. Duration is 45-55 mins. **Game requires access to a computers. This is ran on google sites + google forms.
