A board game to help students practice common questions about themselves and numbers to 10.
The questions are:
¿Cómo te llamas? Me llamo…
¿Cuántos años tienes? Tengo…
¿Cómo estás? Estoy…
¿Dónde vives? Vivo…
Students roll the dice and count on that number of spaces. If they land on a question, students ask and answer that question to their partner. If they land on the number they must say the number or as an extra challenge they can say 1 more or 1 less. If students land on circle, they must go back ‘retrocede’. If they land on a diamond, students go forward ‘avanza’. Great for practising common questions and getting the whole class talking. You can give extra points for students counting the number of spaces in Spanish and using the phrases ‘te toca a ti’ (it’s your turn) and ‘me toca a mi’ (it’s my turn).
