Spanish Digital Escape rooms Bundle
By Frenchified
Make learning about Spanish culture and history interesting with this no-prep digital escape game bundle. The games include access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks. Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game. Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work! Students can play individually or in teams.
Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit. They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event. This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.
This item includes:
Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning! The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles without being 100% focused!
Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students. You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district. As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones. With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

Secondary Spanish festivals La Tomatina + Pluperfect tense
By MFL LAB
Engage your students with this 2 pages worksheet, focused on the renowned Spanish festival, La Tomatina. Designed for secondary Spanish students, this resource includes a reading comprehension passage about Nico’s unforgettable experience at the Tomatina festival. Here’s what it includes:
Reading comprehension: Students answer questions in Spanish based on Nico’s story, building skills in understanding authentic-style texts.
Grammar practice: A focused section on the pluperfect tense (pretérito pluscuamperfecto) helps students understand the tense and gain confidence in using this advanced tense to describe actions that happened prior to other past events.
Vocabulary and Writing practice: Key vocabulary and phrases from the text are reinforced with translation exercises, promoting retention of useful language structures related to festivals and personal experiences.
The final writing task encourages students to write about their own hypothetical festival experience, using a mix of the pluperfect and preterite tenses, opinions, and connectors. This task is an excellent way to prepare students for the writing paper of the exam while allowing them to explore cultural themes.
This worksheet can support lessons on cultural topics, serve as effective exam prep, or offer meaningful cover work for independent study.
Day of the Dead Scavenger Hunt Reading Game English Version Gallery Walk
By Specialty Spanish
Want your Spanish students to learn about Day of the Dead , but reading comprehension is getting boring in your Spanish class? Turn it into a game! This mystery-solving reading about Día de Muertos goes from dull to exciting as students work together and move around the room to solve a mystery! This is a simple “print and go” with no work for the teacher!
Students investigate with Maria, a young person from Mexico, while she tries to understand more about a former member of her town. He visits the townspeople all year, not just during Día de Muertos. Why can’t he rest in peace? While they read the parts, they are also looking for “code words”. Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of how/why he died. It’s so much fun!
After, you can decide which of the 4 follow-up activities you want to do with your students. There are 4; a True or False Activity to check for basic comprehension, a graphic organizer for students to learn more about the specific items related to Day of the Dead, a “tell me in your own words” activity, and a writing follow up where students use their reading comprehension and critical thinking to invent an explanation for who this lost soul was and why he died the way he did. Answer key to the True/False is also included. Best of all? If there’s something you’d like to change for your students, you are free to edit!
The reading cards are written in English for your Novice classes. The questions are written in English and answers will be in English as well. The instructions and mission are written in English. Students get the benefit of learning about a cultural event while using teamwork!
**If your students are ready for reading in Spanish, check out the Spanish version of this Scavenger Hunt! And if you have classes at both levels, buy them in a bundle to save money!

AP Spanish Retos ambientales 2 Articles with Comprehension Activities
By Specialty Spanish
Practice AP Spanish® reading comprehension with these 2 articles to learn about the dying corals of the Great Barrier Reef and the growing problem of Electronic Garbage. They can be assigned digitally for distance learners and printed for in-person students.
The articles are written from the perspective of a Mexican and a Colombian and therefore make great sources for cultural comparisons and discussions about perspectives in different places in the Spanish-speaking world.
Both articles are accompanied by comprehension questions and the Corals article also has a GoFormative version which is auto-graded- a great time saver for teachers! Another benefit to Goformative is that questions can be inserted exactly where you would like them to be to make reading comprehension a little easier for students. The questions appear side by side with the article, so students don't need to scroll back and forth to read the question and then search for the answer in the text.
