Suggested games and activities to reinforce the learning
Challenge 1 – Game: La Rayuela
Are you ready to play a fun game? Practise your Spanish and have fun playing with your classmates!
Follow the instructions in the PowerPoint and play La Rayuela or Hopsctoch game.
Challenge 2 – Game: Hidden Number
The teacher or a pupil writes a number from 1 to 19 on a piece of paper.
Pupils – one at a time – have to try and guess what that number is. When a number is given, the teacher (or pupil) has to say:
más (more) if the chosen number is higher than the guess or
menos (less) if the chosen number is lower than the guess.
The pupil who finally guesses the correct number gets to choose a new number. Pupils can also play this game in pairs.
Recycle your learning
At home – Can you explain the origin of the days of the week in English to your family or friends? Can you also explain where days of the week in Spanish come from?
Once you’ve managed your Challenges, you can start lesson 8!
