¿Quién es quién? | Spanish Speaking and Deduction Game | MYP Phases 3–5
Description:
Does your character work in the morning? Speak French? Take part in a community garden?
This printable Spanish speaking game asks learners to identify a secret character through yes/no questions. Each answer helps them eliminate possibilities and explain their reasoning using written evidence.
The resource features 16 fictional characters living in cities across eight Spanish-speaking countries. Profiles cover languages, working hours, journeys to work, interests and community involvement. Follow-up activities explore similarities and differences within the same country and across countries, and ask learners to challenge generalisations.
The illustrated characters have varied appearances, ages, poses and clothing. Physical appearance is not used to infer nationality or cultural identity.
