I am currently a Spanish teacher and I was tired of looking for effective, straightforward teaching resources for my Spanish students so I decided to make them myself! Prior to teaching, I was professionally trained in curriculum design & development. Today, my materials and approach to teaching Spanish are used by Spanish teachers all across the country! I am new to TES but wanted to explore another avenue for sharing my teaching resources with as many people as possible! Happy teaching!

Who doesn’t like to play Pictionary?
This board game is a high-energy, always-a-hit game to play with your Spanish class. This game plays like the classic game of “Pictionary” only in this case, it is used to reinforce Spanish vocabulary! Students break up into two teams and try to out-guess each other when one of their team members attempts to draw a picture of a Spanish vocabulary word. Teams have only 60 seconds to guess what the drawing is in Spanish!
Vocabulary words are broken into four categories:
La Ropa
La Casa
La Comida
La Escuela
Spanish Vocabulary:
Clothing
Food (beverages, food, fruits & vegetables)
Items found in a house or parts of a house
School items
Detailed instructions included!
Teacher Tip!
If you’d like to use your own Spanish vocabulary, use a black Sharpie and write in your own vocabulary words on the blank category cards provided!

How to Play…
You are going shopping at your favorite clothing store in Spain! Choose up to 5 individual shoppers or teams and 1 store attendant to begin the game.
Pass out a game board and €100 to each shopper. The store attendant will control the extra money for making change and the clothing items (flashcards).
Shoppers have €100 to spend but they need to buy at least one item from each of the following categories:
TOPS / DRESSES / COATS
PANTS or SKIRTS
SHOES
ACCESSORIES
HATS
Roll the dice. You will choose one item from the category according to the roll of the dice. ¡DESCUENTO! If you roll a 6, the item is on sale! Take 50% off the price of any item you like!
If you roll the dice and already have an item from that category, you may purchase something else from another player, from the store, or pass and wait for your next turn.
You LOVE accessories! If you roll a 4, you MUST purchase something from the accessory category.
In order to buy the item from each category, you must ask for it in Spanish using the correct vocabulary. (Refer to your catalog for help with this.) Keep your items on the game board by category.
The first person to purchase at least one item from each category without running out of money wins!

This listening activity works with a great free online resource through YouTube called “Buena Gente.” There are six episodes and each is between approximately 4-10 minutes long. Follow SofĂa and Mateo on a journey where they attempt to find the owner of some very important belongings left behind in their new apartment! All episodes are based in Mexico.
I recommend this activity for students in grades 5 or higher, with at least one full year of Spanish. (This material reinforces grammatical concepts typically covered in a Spanish 1 & 2 HS course.)
These listening exercises are a great way for students to practice comprehension, learn new vocabulary, and discuss grammatical concepts like preterite vs. imperfect, the use of the subjunctive, the future tense, and more! The actors speak very slowly and clearly. I recommend showing these videos with the Spanish subtitles on for the first time and without them the second or third time. After watching, have students work alone or in groups to answer the questions. Review answers with the class to work on pronunciation and to answer any questions. A great tool to reinforce learning!
Worksheets for each episode include a review of verbs, vocabulary introduced in the video, true & false questions, fill-in-the-blanks, question & answer or multiple choice.
Links to jump directly to “Buena Gente” episodes through YouTube are also provided along with an answer key!
