Spanish Class Activities

Here are some Spanish activities we've been doing that you can ask your kids about to avoid the dreaded "nothing" answer when you ask, "So what did you do in school today?" question! 

QR Codes

The students used their phones to scan QR codes around the room to find pictures and voice recordings in Spanish of school supplies vocabulary. 

Kahoot! 

The kids love Kahoot!  It's a computer based game show type activity where multiple choice questions are flashed on the screen and students use their computers or phones as "clickers" to make their choices.  Kahoot! keeps track of who is in what place by who answers the questions correctly and how fast they click in!  It is a great way to practice vocabulary.

Class Tools

A computer game that I can make that turns vocabulary practice into a  Mario brothers type game and/or explosion games with increasingly difficult levels of play. 

Slapido Rapido

A picture card game that the students play at their seats.  It's intense!  I call out the words in Spanish and the students try to locate and slap the card first.  It's excellent practice and very energetic!

Office Max-Mexico

The students explored the Office Max Mexico website to find school supply words that we've learned and to see how far their Spanish can take them on a real Spanish website.  They were able to guess quite a bit and recognize quite a bit!  They also went to a Mexican peso converter site to discover how many pesos are in a dollar so they could understand the prices on the Office Max site. 

So ask about any of these activities and hopefully, you'll start a fun discussion about school and Spanish class!
