Spanish Winter-Themed Activities Bundle for Invierno
by Specialty SpanishAre 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!
