¿Qué tiempo hace? Digital Task Cards on Google Slides

32 cards to practice Weather.

30 SPANISH speaking question cards - The weather

Want your students to use their Weather vocabulary in fun and meaningful conversations? You can use this NO PREP activity year after year as a fun way to encourage your students to speak more to each other about EL TIEMPO. This resource is suitable for any curriculum in which SPANISH is the language spoken, and will work best for students in 6th to 12th grade.

You can use these cards after learning specific weather vocabulary or as a fun interactive activity on any day when you want to just focus on speaking and reviewing vocabulary in a different way.

All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities. A pdf with only one card per page is included for easy projection when you don't want to print.

Included:
➱ 30 speaking prompt cards
➱ PDF version to project and avoid printing (1 card per page to project)
➱ 9 ways to use these cards

There are many ways you can use this set of task cards:

✫ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.

✫ Project the pdf file in class to work in group or with your whole class and avoid printing.

✫ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.

✫ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.

✫ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.

✫ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.

✫ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.

✫ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

✫ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.

✫ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.

1. Increased Engagement: Games are inherently engaging and can capture students' attention. Gamifying your Spanish class makes learning more enjoyable and encourages active participation.

2. Motivation: Games provide a sense of achievement and progress. Students are motivated to earn points, badges, or rewards, which can drive them to learn and improve their Spanish skills.

3. Interactive Learning: Gamification promotes interactive learning through challenges, quizzes, and interactive exercises. This hands-on approach helps students actively practice and apply their language skills.

4. Competition: Healthy competition can inspire students to excel. Leaderboards and challenges encourage students to strive for better performance, fostering a sense of achievement.

The excitement and engagement of games often lead to better information retention and recall, which is crucial for language learning.

This Spanish Verb Tenses Project is perfect to review all the tenses students have learned! Spanish students will write sentences in the present, past and future related to themes that are familiar to them. The rubric will provide fast and specific feedback so students can fix any mistakes! Students can complete this verb tense project individually or in groups. Teachers may assign this as one big project or in smaller parts.

Though teachers can customize (and either add or reduce these tenses), students will create 5 slides, each with 6 sentences. The 6 sentences represent the 6 tenses students have learned so far (present, present progressive, preterite, imperfect, imperfect progressive and future). Students choose a theme for each slide, such as travel, summer, food, etc. They write sentences in each tense to practice 1) how to form each tense, 2) connecting the name of the tense with what it looks like and 3) what each verb tense means in English. Students can customize the design of each slide as well! Students can keep their completed project for future reference as they continue their language learning.

The rubric is designed for teachers to tell students which slide and which tenses on each slide are correct or have an error to make feedback fast and specific!

Who can use this product:

• Students at the Novice High proficiency level and up
• Students at the end of Year 1 and up

How to use this product:

• Use this activity individually or as group or partner work

Spanish writing prompts, especially when you make them into a group challenge, are a great way to get your Spanish 2, 3 or students writing, improving and learning from others!  

Your Spanish students will look forward to working together to create writing that meets and exceeds the standards you’re looking for!  Writing together allows peers to learn from each other and takes away some of the pressure when writing alone. The themes are relevant and interesting to students and promote creativity with language. 

All of these resources help give the teacher the resource of time!  The group challenges provide you the chance to offer specific feedback, but on just one paper per group instead of one for every student!  And peer editing is another way for students to receive feedback without the need for the teacher to correct everything. 

Growing Bundles are a great deal!  First, you get a discount over buying each resource separately.  But BEST OF ALL, each time I add a new resource, you can download it for free!  (The price for the resource will change as I add each new resource, but anyone who has already bought the resource pays the lower price, but gets to download new additions for free!)

Who can use this product?

Present Tense Interactive Escape Room

Gamify your Spanish 1 Class with this fun and Interactive Escape Room!

Everything is done for you!

Are your students ready for invierno?  Have some fun with these Spanish activities for Writing, Speaking and Listening! Use the winter season to your advantage as students practice their interpretive and interpersonal skills as they talk about winter where they live and learn about winter activities in other parts of the world!

What’s included?

#1

Authentic listening activities for Spanish class can be so hard to find!  We want our students to practice their listening skills but we don’t want to spend an hour searching for a good video!  This YouTube video is about winter in Chile.  A young person takes us around his city and explains what winter is like there.  To check comprehension, students will answer questions as they watch. Students will make comparisons and discover similarities and differences between their own experience and the speaker’s experience in Chile.   An answer key is also included!

#2

These Spanish Task Cards are geared towards winter activities, vacations and winter holidays. Situation Task Cards are a great way to get your Spanish 1, 2, 3 and 4 students talking and using language creatively!  (These are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)  

There are 20 different scenarios which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. The task cards come in 3 versions!  First I have a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class.  The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. Slides come with helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario.

These winter-themed task cards feature scenarios for present, past and future time frames.  Google Slides can be modified if you need to change something to meet your students’ needs!

Also included is a peer feedback sheet and a self-assessment sheet and a vocab list for both Winter Vocab and Christmas Vocab!  

#3

These Winter Writing Prompts for Spanish classes solve a number of your challenges! Your students can work together in groups to write about Christmas and Winter Vacation, and it turns into a fun competition where everyone learns!  AND- you only correct ONE paper per group!!  Students help each other improve their writing as they try to increase creativity, detail, sophistication and accuracy, all while having fun!  These writing prompts can also be used individually.   Embed culture and traditions into your writing practice!  There are 3 prompts for Novice High level students and 3 for Intermediate Low students.  Scaffolds such as vocab lists, sophistication word charts and a graphic organizer are all included!
