It's time for everything pumpkin! Unfortunately, it's also time for back to school germs. Be prepared with this hassle-free, print-and-go seasonally themed lesson plan that will keep your students engaged and quietly focused on independently learning some bonus Fall vocabulary!
This vocabulary lesson plan is packed with fun and interactive activities that will enrich your students' Spanish Autumn vocabulary -whether you are there or not!
Here's what's included in this ready-to-use resource:

1. Vocabulary List: Kickstart the lesson with a curated list of 25 Spanish Autumn-based words. Includes foods, weather, clothing, traditional symbols of the season and more.
2. Repetition-Based Learning: Utilize the power of repetition to solidify vocabulary retention. Students will practice writing Autumn words multiple times, enhancing their memory and fluency.
3. Matching: Learners make connections between words and their translations. By actively associating and pairing words together, learners establish meaningful connections that enhance their understanding and retention of vocabulary.
4. Drawing and Labeling: Tap into your students' artistic side as they sketch and label their new words. This activity promotes creativity while reinforcing vocabulary and spelling.
5. Alphabetizing: Alphabetizing vocabulary requires active cognitive processing. Students must analyze the words, compare their initial letters, and determine their correct placement in the alphabetical sequence. This cognitive engagement deepens their understanding and promotes stronger memory connections with the vocabulary terms.
6. Word Search: Let your students become puzzle masters! They'll create their very own word search puzzles using new vocabulary. This activity enhances spelling, vocabulary recognition, and problem-solving skills.
7. Magic Square: Learners must analyze the available options and find the correct matches. This process stimulates critical thinking, encourages logical reasoning, and enhances cognitive skills, all while reinforcing the vocabulary.
8. Creative Writing: Students draw from previous language knowledge to create complete sentences relevant to the new vocabulary. This is a slightly more advanced activity that allows students to use higher-level thinking and creativity to form sentences using verb tenses and additional they are familiar with.

Keep your students engaged and quietly learning even if your substitute has ZERO Spanish skills!

*Answer key is included only for the Magic Squares activity. Answers will vary for other activities.
