SPANISH FRUITS WORD SEARCH Sopas de Letras are a fabulous way of encouraging learners to engage with the written word in Spanish, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This freebie features a fruits word search with answer key, perfect for beginner Spanish learners of all grades. The fruits include masculine, feminine, singular and plural, with a blend of definite and indefinite articles - this really helps learners think a little more creatively about language, and their new Spanish vocabulary - they may learn la manzana, and it’s useful to give students opportunity to think about grammatical concepts, and how la becomes una for example.
There is a Spanish to English grid, where learners are prompted with the Spanish word, and look for them in Spanish in the grid. For additional consolidation, each grid also features an English word list that they have to complete, really putting their knowledge to the test! Learners can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid. Having a good bilingual dictionary to hand is also a good idea, as this provides a further focus on developing literacy in both Spanish and English, and facilitates learner independence.
There is an answer key grid, so that learners can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. Answer keys are really essential - they offer learners an additional opportunity to engage with language, and they genuinely enjoy ‘correcting’ their own, and particularly each others’ work! They’re a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing!
The word search is in landscape format, as I’ve found this to be the best format for beginner language learners. This kind of activity is really versatile - I use as starters, refreshers, plenaries or fun-time fillers at any time during the school year, as well as when I’m focusing on fruits in Spanish.

SPANISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS? BUNDLE
**SPANISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER SPANISH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES I HAVE WHO HAS FRUTAS Y VERDURAS EN ESPAÑOL** ***3 games @ $1.95 each in the bundle*** ***This resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***Set 1***: focus on fruits ***Set 2***: focus on vegetables ***Set 3***: focus on a combination of both fruits and vegetables ***I have, Who has?*** is a whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for ***practicing, reinforcing & refreshing a range of fruits and vegetables in Spanish***. These games have a ***multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation***. It’s perfect for ***pronunciation practice*** too - I point out particular ***phonemes, accents and sounds*** too - such as the ***tilde on the letter ñ***, and how important that is in creating the correct sound of the word. The aim of the game is to create a ***Spanish sentence chain*** as quickly as possible, starting with the first card, ***Tengo la primera tarjeta***, and ending with the final card, ***Tengo la última tarjeta***. The game works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my young beginner learners, but I’ve also played the game with my older adult learners, who really enjoy it too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word, and starting to ***link spelling with sound***. Try to print in color if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real ***motivator for learning***. ***There are 29 fruits featured in the games***: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon. ***with 28 vegetables***: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini. All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocab - the images help students ***infer meaning from context***, supported by the visual prompts and clues - this in turn supports them in developing their ***Spanish language skills*** in the longer and more complex sentences. There is ***implicit input on grammatical concepts*** such as ***adjectival agreement, gender, definite, indefinite and partitive articles and position of adjectives, either preceding or proceeding the particular noun***. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more! The ***question card templates*** provide an additional learning activity, with students applying their ***developing Spanish language knowledge creatively and practically***, as they make game cards for the class. This is integral to successful language learning, and it's actually a really popular activity with my students. They read their new sentences to the whole class, and it's generally a competition to see who can create the longest sentences with the most fruits. The game is also really successful when we play in teams against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - students love to see if they can beat their own time record, as well as the other teams. The ***competitive element*** is a great motivator for learning too. **íMUCHAS GRACIAS Y BUEN APRENDIZAJE!**
