Jenga Translation game for year 9 or Foundation GCSE class. It can be adapted into Reading/Writing as well! Let me know how it worked for your classes. Gracias :)

BEFORE EXAMS AQA GCSE Spanish writing workshop which emphasises on the 90 word question, building up on basic vocab and structures. It is thought to be done in pairs and the timings are very restricted to make candidates stay on their toes and think of the quickest best possible answers. 1 hour lesson advised. It encourages candidates to create a checklist before starting their writing and remind themselves what to include. Credits: the two 90 words tasks that feature here are taken from Kerboodle.com .

Lesson for an able year 11 class. It could take one or two lessons. Please feel free to use/adapt. The idea is that F Ss complete The 90 words task and the H candidates de 150 words. You may tell them about what to include (BURST, AVOCADO, and any other acronyms that work for your class). Please let me know if that was useful for you and your class :)

Lesson for an able year 10 class at the beginning of year 10 or revision of the topic for a Foundation Year 11 class. It includes a reading which helps modelling writing. Please feel free to use/adapt and let me know if your classes enjoyed it!

Lovely hand-out that I am planning to give year 11 who will carry on with their Spanish for A Level. The aim is to keep them engaged and practising reading, listening and learning about mainly Spanish culture (I am truly sorry I did not include much Latin American culture, I am planning on developing that during the course in year 12). All activities are free of charge apart from number 5, and can easily be completed on a daily basis on their phones.

These feedback sheets are really useful to me when marking my GCSE classes’ written work.

This is a creative activity that I am planning to do with my French and Spanish classes across KS3 and KS4 as a whole school event. It should not take longer than 30 minutes during a regular lesson. Pupils choose some sentences from the slide in TL (following numbers 1-5), then copy them out with the appropriate connectives, with a friend in mind. Then they can decorate the cards. Teacher is to collect the cards and keep them until the morning of 14th of February, when pupils will receive cards during tutor time.

A Spanish GCSE 9-1 Speaking lesson (2 or 3 sessions) to work on General Conversation on Spanish Festivals with the help of some engaging videos (in English). Please let me know how it went for your classes!

¿Qué canción es? is a great activity to give your year 11 classes a break and have some fun competing in teams of 2-4 against other pupils in the classroom. The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible by listening to the opposite team and translate the lyrics they read out loud in Spanish into English, so that your team guesses the song , which originally is in English language! There can be 5, 10 or 15 different rounds. Each song has an icon with 3, 2 or 1 points to indicate how many points to award. 0 points awarded if no guess. If students who read the card to the other team do not know the song, they can put it back in the deck. Print the tally and then the different slides in card. It is best if two slides are printed on one sheet of paper. ¡Que lo paséis bien!
