Need a fun way to start the year in World Language class?  How about a team-building  game!  This reading about why students should learn another language 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!  This is a great way to get the year started with new students, or to provide motivation when you see interest and effort waning.  This activity is in English, and can be used by any World Language class!

All World Language teachers want to motivate and encourage our students, and help them see the value of becoming proficient in the language they’re studying. This story gives 10 teen-friendly reasons why it’s so beneficial to prioritize learning a new language! 

The story revolves around two teens trying to decide what classes to take.  Your students play the role of the mystery solvers.  They have to read all 10 parts of the story to figure out the answer to the final question;  what will the students grow up to be in their career?   While your students read the story parts, they are looking for “code words” in the story.  Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of teens’  future career.  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 “tell me in your own words” summary activity, an opportunity to work with a group and write a story about a adventure the teens will have in their career (which can be done in the TL),  and an activity where they can explore possible careers for bilingual people.   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!

Who can use this product?

• Students taking a World Language
• Middle or High School 

How can I use this product?

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)

**Please note ** This board game does not include spaces for the vosotros/as form. For the version of the game that does include this form, check out my other listing!

I also have stories and activities that correspond to all chapters of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the Realidades/Auténtico textbooks! Incorporate these stories into every unit, and you will see your students become highly proficient readers!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

How can this product work during the ongoing pandemic?

My students were so excited to learn that we could continue playing this game when we returned to in-person class. We dubbed someone the 'maestro/a' of the game and they were responsible for moving the game pieces and rolling the die. All the game pieces go into a bag for easy disinfecting later. Use print outs of the game board that can be recycled or laminate your game boards so that they can be sanitized! :)

This scavenger hunt will still work broken into shorter segments for multiple lessons or a shorter activity.

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!

Make learning about the cathedral of Notre-Dame 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.

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:

• The bees of Notre-Dame
• the relics
• The stained glass windows
• the bells
• the history of the cathedral

The game includes two versions - a French version and an English version. In both versions, the clues are given in English (otherwise it would be too difficult for French learners to pick up the nuances in the clues). In the French version, the clue pages will lead to sources written in French. In the English version, the clue pages lead to English language sources.

$3 from each sale of this game will go to the Friends of Notre-Dame, a foundation working to rebuild and renovate the cathedral.
