Flippity Jeopardy

¡Hola familias!

As we near the end of the units in 6th, 7th and 8th grade, an overall review of the unit is our "Jeopardy" game. In table groups, the students compite to win the most points. Flippity makes a template that is easily customized to our own units! Ask your estudiante about it!

¡Hasta pronto!

Juegos de vocabuario en parejas

¡Hola familias!

Today I am sharing with you a vocabulary game that we play usually at the beginning of the unit. The "Double Dice" game o "Dos dados".

For the "Deportes y tiempo libre" unit, students have a grid of choices, and a sentence starter to create questions and answers with their partner.  Students roll the dice to randomly fall in a square in the table, where (with the help of their picture dictionary) they can formulate a question and an answer with their partners. The students both recall their vocabulary and practice their grammar in context at the same time.
Ask your student about "el juego de doble dados"!

Autorretrato cubista

After studying physical description, we embarked on the journey of self portraits that started with Pablo Picasso, famous Spanish cubist painter, and ended with Frida Kahlo, renown Mexican artist and feminist.

We explored autorretratos by both artists. And used a padlet wall to create descriptions and review shapes and face body parts. Then we listened to each others descriptions and drew faces con formas.

Tengo un transporte secreto en mi cabeza...

¡Hola familias!

In 8th grade we also played a similar game as in 6th grade, but with means of transportation. This game is like "heads up!"and helps with circumlocution and descriptions. Which one is your favorite transporte? Is it ecológico? How many ruedas does it have? Is it caro? How many people take it? Is it for mar, tierra o aire? ¿Is it grande, mediano o pequeño? These are some of the questions that the students had to ask to guess (just one chance) to win.

¡Adivina quién soy!

¡Hola familias!

In 6th grade Spanish we have been busy with physical descriptions in Spanish.  To practice, we played a game called "tengo un estudiante secreto en mi cabeza" in which, literally, the students have a secret student on their forehead... Fun was had by all, especially when the secret student was oneself, ha!
