Descubre la Palabra Secreta – Los Planetas | Spanish Solar System Vocabulary Activity

Spark curiosity and teamwork in your Spanish classroom with this creative and interactive vocabulary activity.

Inspired by a Pinterest idea, this resource is a fantastic way to introduce your new topic — the planets of the solar system — in a fun and collaborative way. Rather than simply telling students the theme, let them discover it themselves through a guessing game that builds vocabulary, dictionary skills, and critical thinking.

How It Works:

1. Tell students that you’re starting a new topic — but they’ll have to figure it out first.
2. Divide students into groups and give each group one activity card.
3. Using bilingual dictionaries, each group must identify the objects or concepts on their card and write down the initials to reveal a hidden word.
4. Once they’ve guessed their word, they say it aloud. The teacher writes all eight hidden words on the board.
5. As a class, students then figure out the secret word that connects them all — Los Planetas!
