$5 - $10 8th Grade Spanish Resources (by price, low to high)

Want a quick, easy conjugation game that you can use in any unit with any tense? Conjugationland is your game!

Your students will love practicing their conjugation skills with this quick, fun, and challenging conjugation game. Conjugationland is a fast paced board game that gives students lots of practicing with conjugations. Conjugationland can be played with any type of verb! I use it in all my classes from Spanish I - IV, regular present tense to imperfect subjunctive, anytime we learn a new tense or a new type of verb.

This product comes with:

- Conjugationland game board (originally sized for 13 x 19 paper but can be easily printed to regular 8.5 x 11 copy paper)

- Instruction sheet

- 12 verb conjugation lists (or create your own!)

To play this game, you will need:

- game markers for each student (can use game pieces from another game or slips of paper)

- a number generator (like a die) for each group (or you could use a spinner from a different game or a number generator app on a phone)

Coming from a school with a large ESL population of Spanish Speakers AND spending years in an REP Math Class, one of our biggest obstacles came from the language barrier. This glossary can help to overcome that barrier! 100 English & Spanish Definitions are included in this PowerPoint file. Each word is on it's own slide, so you can print out what's needed for your current unit. Great for a Word Wall or even Center Posters.

I uploaded this as a PowerPoint file so that you could edit colors and/or add more words that you need in your room.

I hope this helps!!

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!

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.

Ser vs Estar Interactive Dinosaur Quiz

A different approach to SER VS ESTAR!

Gamifying your Spanish class can bring numerous benefits and enhance the learning experience for students. Here are some reasons why you should consider gamifying your Spanish class:

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.

Do your students struggle with the conjugating verbs in the present tense? Then this amazing fairy tale activity is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with the classic story of la Bella Durmiente is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the present tense, along with reading comprehension skills.

Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this dry and boring grammar topic into something engaging and fun!

The familiar story of Sleeping Beauty is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the present tense in Spanish with easy differentiation.

This file includes two versions of the same story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between two different forms of the verb.
• Version A also includes true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
• Version B includes only the infinitive, so they must fill in the blank with the correct present tense form of the verb.
• Version B also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Both versions of the story are two pages long, with a separate page of comprehension questions. The two different versions make differentiation simple!

Also included in this download is:

• a mini pictorial vocabulary list in color and black and white
• an eight-slide mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
• a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story or summarize the story in six parts)
• answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions
• a teacher tips page

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

The stories include regular verbs, stem-changing verbs, reflexive verbs (olvidarse, dormirse, despertarse, and enamorarse) and irregular verbs (ir, ser, estar, tener, “yo-go” verbs, etc).

This story would make a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for the end of Spanish 1 or as a review of the present tense in Spanish 2.
