Spanish Culture Activities Bundle Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening

by Specialty Spanish

Looking for some creative ways to add more culture into your Spanish lessons?  Want to have comprehensible input and keep students engaged in the Target Language?  Spark a love of learning and an interest in traveling to Spanish-speaking countries with this bundle of culture-themed activities! Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening are all included in these activities! Save money by getting all 4 no-prep culture activities together! 

The Youth Hostels activity is a great one to use during a travel unit!  It contains a Google Slides presentation to explain what youth hostels are and what they look like.  It has a short video embedded so students can really see what youth hostels can offer.  There is a reading activity linked in (with an answer key) as well!  This activity is geared for students in Years 2, 3 and 4.  Read more HERE.

Vacaciones en España focuses on a trip to the beach town of Benidorm, on the West Coast of Spain.  This Google Slides presentation contains vibrant photos of real people, which makes it engaging for students.  Each slide comes with text to explain what they’re seeing. Within the presentation are links to reading, writing, speaking and listening activities.  This activity is great for a travel theme and when students are starting to learn the past tense! Read more HERE.

Avila is a similar format to Vacaciones en España. The Google Slides™ presentation contains original photographs from Ávila, Spain, a beautiful and medieval city to the north of Madrid. Each slide contains text taking students through Ávila’s past (its incredible walls, towers and cathedral) and present-day life with some views of the city!  The text is mainly written in both present and past (preterite and imperfect) and therefore is great for Years 2, 3 and 4. Read more HERE. 

The Escape Room is a student favorite! It comes in a Spanish and English version, and students must follow the clues to help solve a crime.  The clues take them all around Spain where they will learn about various aspects of the culture.  Each clue they solve reveals the next clue! This is so much fun for students!  This activity is already differentiated and therefore appropriate for all levels of Spanish! Read more HERE.

Spanish Escape Room Visit Major Sites of Spain To Catch the Soccer Thieves

By Specialty Spanish

Need to motivate your Spanish students?  Want to incorporate more REAL culture into your classes? Need them to work together?  This digital escape room is a FUN way to do both!  Students must watch and read the Google slides and also do some research of their own to help solve a crime. Students can complete this challenge in school or digitally from home! No-prep fun activity for ALL of your classes!

Some important objects have been stolen from the Soccer Museum at Camp Nou in Barcelona.  Help the police chase down the thieves as you travel around Spain!  To find the next clue, students must answer cultural questions about Spain.  From those answers, they must figure out codes that will open digital locks (in a google form).  Students get the next set of pictures and clues after each lock is opened! 

This Escape Room is suitable for all middle and high school students.  It focuses on famous places and interesting cultural details, not on grammar.  This resource comes in a Spanish version appropriate for students in Year 3 and up, and also an English version for Novice Spanish students or any student interested in Spanish culture!  It’s a great way to get students talking to each other at the beginning of the year, or a fun way to wrap up a school year too!
