Yo tengo / ¿Quién tiene? (Descripción Física)

I like using Yo Tengo / ¿Quién tiene? activities as a quick way to practice pronunciation, and an informal, low-stakes way to formatively assess individual pronunciation.

Recently I have been using this set with my 6th graders, who are practicing the physical description vocabulary we have been working with. This focuses on noun-adjective agreement (with the colors.)

Hope it can be useful!

Numbers in Spanish: Some ready-to-use activities

I feel that I am always trying to sneak Spanish numbers into my curriculum. Numbers on their own are not very exciting, and I try to build my lessons on communicative (and hopefully engaging) objectives. If there is not an established and well articulated language curriculum, I often encounter students who are tired of going through several years of repetitive lessons: greetings, numbers, colors. The challenge is always finding interactive and quick ways to refine and review these skills, while still offering structure for the students who are starting with limited experience.

Uno was always my review card game of choice - until I discovered the magic and ease of ¡Pesca!

Out of everything I have tried over the years, here are a few resources and activities that have been successful to review and practice the numbers in Spanish. These are ready-to-go activities that you can use this week if you'd like... or today in the next class period, if you are quick on your feet. (You probably are, if you are a teacher.) These are things I have used successfully in classes with a wide range of levels and experience: from students fluent in Spanish to students who are in the first Spanish class of their life.
