PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 SPANISH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCH FREEBIE Word searches are a fabulous way of encouraging students to engage with the written word in Spanish, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This freebie Spanish Christmas word search features fourteen common Spanish Christmas words, which helps to develop students’ awareness of some Spanish Christmas vocabulary and customs, such as la Nochebuena and el turrón. I use this as a prompt to stimulate discussion about Spanish Christmas practices and traditions, and we talk about what students know about other Christmas traditions around the world. The nouns feature masculine and feminine, singular and plural and both definite and indefinite articles, which is a great way of working on and consolidating those grammatical concepts too.
There is an answer key for each word search, so that students can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. Answer keys are absolutely essential for me, as they provide students with an additional opportunity to engage with language, help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy ‘correcting’ each others’ work - additionally, they’re a great teacher time-saver, which is always a bonus! The word searches are in landscape format, as this mirrors the common direction of reading from left to right for speakers of English as a first or home language, facilitating their engagement with the activity.
Have a browse in my store for more Spanish Christmas activities, and a wide range of other Spanish teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles, resources boxes, and lots of freebies too!

SPANISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE WHO HAS GAMES
**PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE WHO HAS THREE GAMES @ £1.30 EACH** *I have Who has?* is a whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing *Spanish target language*. The games feature a range of fruits and vegetables in *Spanish*, with **Set 1** focusing on fruits, **Set 2** on vegetables and **Set 3** on a combination of fruits and vegetables. The games have a *multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading*, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. They're 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 ***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 colour if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning. **There are 28 fruits featured in the game**: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; 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 29 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 template* provides 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 a really popular activity with my students. Download, print out, laminate, cut out & shuffle the cards. I’d definitely recommend you laminate the cards, despite the extra prep and expense. They’re far more learner-friendly, and they will last for absolutely years. Distribute the cards, one or two per student, depending on how many students you have in your group. I often play too - students really do enjoy it when I join in, and they seem to work that little harder on their concentration, reading out loud and pronunciation. Students walk around the room, talking to each other in their *best Spanish accent*, sharing the information on their cards, until they have arranged the cards in the correct order. The game works best played against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - can students beat beat their own time record? ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish games, and a wide range of other activities, with lots of freebies too!*** I've included a selection of my popular *Spanish* freebies you may not have seen in my store. *This bundle and accompanying products consist of non-editable files in a zipped format.

SPANISH ER VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #5
**SPANISH ER VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE @ 55p EACH IN THE BUNDLE** *9 workbooks & tenses, present, perfect, preterite, imperfect, future, conditional, pluperfect, future perfect & conditional perfect tenses, 25 high-frequency Spanish ER verbs, 150 conjugation questions across 3 differentiated challenges, answer keys & verb lists, 1,350 conjugations in total*, ideal for ***advanced beginner KS3 Spanish*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and short texts to ***advanced level Spanish A Level students*** who are working with complex language and texts featuring a range of tenses, including ***authentic resources***, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation, tense and mood in ***Spanish***. ***The tenses are:*** present *(presente)* perfect *(perfecto compuesto)* preterite *(pretérito)* imperfect *(pretérito imperfecto)* future *(futuro)* conditional *(condicional)* pluperfect *(pretérito pluscuamperfecto)* future perfect *(futuro perfecto)* conditional perfect *(condicional perfecto)* Grammar books are not necessarily particularly consistent with grammatical terminology, for example the ***conditional perfect*** (condicional perfecto) is also called the ***conditional past*** in English. The English equivalent is ***I would have eaten*** for example. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programmes, so that students can ***apply language practically and creatively***, which is essential for progressing in language learning, as well as ***consolidating language and grammatical concepts***. ***The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage***, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. For example, language learners to often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are learning, and with students with *English* as a first language I frequently see students learning the ***conditional tense*** getting a little confused by the absence of a ***direct equivalent of would***, before they really grasp that the ***notion of conditional is indicated in the verb stem + relevant pronoun ending***, which they may have already met when working with the ***future tense***, but need more practice with. In turn, they often mix up ***conditional tense and future tense endings***, so it can be really useful to introduce both tenses fairly simultaneously. In this way, students can ***compare and contrast*** verb endings, across a broader range of texts, including authentic resources, which really helps them consolidate learning. In my experience, students are able to move beyond any confusion between the two tenses really quickly. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** and specific rules for usage that students can ***learn, recognize and apply***, and begin to be able to ***predict accurately***, which in turn ensures that their ***spoken and written Spanish*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***Spanish across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. The workbooks are really versatile, and I use them in a range of learning contexts, such as practice during the introductory phase, free-choice activity in class time, home learning or cover lessons. My students like to have several opportunities to go through the workbooks several times a semester across a whole school year - they find it really useful for mapping their progress and developing overall understanding and competence. ***Each set is structured as follows***: *Two alphabetical verb reference lists*: Spanish-English and English-Spanish, useful for longer-term reference too *Three differentiated conjugation challenges*, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in Spanish across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in Spanish, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Spanish. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding Spanish verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from a Spanish prompt. *Notes and Next Steps* template to encourage my students to reflect on their progress, and think about what they can reasonably and realistically do to meet learning targets and move on - we revisit the conjugations, and the Notes and Next Steps, regularly - sometimes students haven't quite embedded learning before it's time to move on, so revisiting for 10-minute 'chunks' is really popular with them. Students not any new verbs they learn, which in time builds into a really comprehensive verb vocabulary bank. We also use the Notes and Next Steps to inform, guide and focus whole-group discussion on learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity. *answer key* six pages in book format. Answer keys are essential for this kind of learning activity, as they do provide a really essential additional opportunity for students to engage with language, and my students prefer to work and learn independently, assessing their own progress, either individually, in pairs or in small groups. They're a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing! ***Currently in my store I have Spanish conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses:*** present *(presente)* perfect *(perfecto compuesto)* preterite *(pretérito)* imperfect *(pretérito imperfecto)* future *(futuro)* conditional *(condicional)* pluperfect *(pretérito pluscuamperfecto)* future perfect *(futuro perfecto)* conditional perfect *(condicional perfecto)* ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish grammar activities, and a wide range of Spanish language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a selection here.*** *Files are non-editable in a zipped format.

For additional consolidation, each grid also features an ***English*** word list that they have to complete, really putting their knowledge to the test. There are also ***5 English to Spanish grids***, where the prompt words are given in ***English***, and students have to find the ***Spanish*** equivalent in the grid. For additional consolidation and practice in writing in ***Spanish***, they also complete the ***Spanish*** word list on each page. Students can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid. There is an ***answer grid*** for each word search, so that learners can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it.
