$5 - $10 12th Grade Spanish Google Apps (by price, low to high)

Make learning about Spain interesting with this no-prep digital escape game.  The game includes 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. 

This game is about the country of Spain and some interesting historical and tourist sites. Students will learn about the Barcelona, Pamplona, Valencia, Granada and Segovia. There are two versions of the game - one in English (for general culture and lower level Spanish classes) and one in Spanish (clues and resources are in Spanish - challenging, meant for upper levels and heritage speakers).

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:

• Access to a website where your students can play the game
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
• Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

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! 

Topics in this game include:

• Barcelona
• Pamplona
• Valencia
• Granada
• Segovia

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.

There are 6 different activities, already differentiated and scaffolded, so you can use this with all of your classes from Year 2 and up!  Reading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing and more are all included!

The reading is written in Spanish and is purposefully divided into small paragraphs with accompanying pictures.  This visual trick makes the reading seem less overwhelming to students, and makes it easy for them to know where to read to find the answers to the English comprehension questions.  Words that may be unfamiliar are underlined and included in the vocab list!  Need an element of fun?  Read the link within this resource to learn how to turn the reading and questions into a fun group game!

Next, you may want your students to write or speak about what they learned.  Use the linked bookmarks in the teacher instructions to take a quick view of the questions.  Decide if you want them to write or record a presentational speaking, and then use the student version papers to print or post!

Do you want them to make comparisons?  Scaffold this for students with lower proficiency by having them use the helpful vocab on the vocab sheet!  Decide if you want them to write or record, and assign the questions that are already in a student friendly version!

Last but not least, help students work on their interpersonal speaking!  There are 2 guided conversations that help students know how to keep their conversation going without telling them exactly what to say!

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!

Looking for a variety of ready-to-use activities for Día de los Reyes Magos en Puerto Rico?  Your Spanish students will love all the activities in the Three King’s Day resource! There are 6 different activities, already differentiated and scaffolded, so you can use this with all of your classes from Year 2 and up!  Reading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing and more are all included! Día de Reyes makes a great cultural comparison too!

The reading is written in Spanish and is purposefully divided into small, numbered paragraphs.  This visual trick makes the reading seem less overwhelming to students, and makes it easy for them to know where to read to find the answers to the English comprehension questions.  Words that may be unfamiliar are underlined and included in the vocab list!  Need an element of fun?  Read the link within this resource to learn how to turn the reading and questions into a fun group game!

You can check comprehension in other ways too!  A list of 10 True/False statements in Spanish is included for you to read to students.  This brings in listening comprehension while you reinforce new vocabulary and new learning. Answer keys for both the reading questions and the True/False questions are included.

Next, you may want your students to write or speak about what they learned.  Use the linked bookmarks in the teacher instructions to take a quick view of the questions.  Decide if you want them to write or record a presentational speaking, and then use the student version papers to print or post!

Do you want them to make comparisons?  Scaffold this for students with lower proficiency by having them use the helpful vocab on the vocab sheet!  Decide if you want them to write or record, and assign the questions that are already in a student friendly version!

Last but not least, help students work on their interpersonal speaking!  There are 2 guided conversations that help students know how to keep their conversation going without telling them exactly what to say!

Mix and match activities based on your students’ current skill level and you can use this resource for all of your preps!

What to turn your Spanish reading comprehension or grammar review into a game?  Using CI to give your students contextualized, comprehensible input?  These reading passages will motivate, engage and deliver all the CI your students need!  

The 1st reading is about how to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s perfect for themes about health, diet and exercise.  Working in groups helps reduce anxiety about answering questions while at the same time allows students to share their reading strategies with others.  The teacher has comprehension questions about the reading (with answers included) so that each set of students has a chance to answer multiple questions.  

Reading 2 is about a teen who convinces her parents to let her have a pet.  Reading 3 is a conversation between 2 teens about an upcoming concert. These themes are taken from the published list of topics from ACTFL that students encounter on the AAPPL Test.

This reading is meant for Intermediate Low students.  Comprehension questions are written in Spanish and answers are included. Any part of this resource can be customized for your students if needed!  Also included are teacher notes and ideas for how to turn the reading passages into a game!
