A very fun lesson to boost grammatical understanding in Spanish following the popular Escape Room format. Barely any preparation time is required from the teacher. It includes a series of tasks covering a range of GCSE topics (school, local area, holidays and world of work) where students need to apply their knowledge of the present, preterite, present perfect, imperfect, conditional and future tenses of both regular and irregular verbs whilst developing their reading and translation skills covering different CGSE themes.
This Escape Room has the perfect level of challenge to prepare them well for their exam and develop their grammatical skills. The lesson includes a vocabulary bank and a grammar knowledge organiser, to support students, making it accessible to all KS4 and AS students. A very enjoyable lesson to develop team work, which includes regular progress checks so that teachers can consistently check understanding and progress. Instructions in English and Spanish for both teachers and students as well as answers included.
A double-sided worksheet resource created to target the common errors students make in writing / speaking work. Was meant for foundation students to boost the accuracy of their work, but equally as handy for higher tier students who need to revisit the basics: adjective agreement, muy vs mucho, es vs son, as well as common past & future tense verbs and a proof-reading activity. Answer sheet also attached.
A revision or study pack, for pupils, reviewing nearly aspects of all A Level grammar points through exercises and translation. There is a total of 12 Grammar Challenge sheets which target different topics. Each sheet also contains a translation activity focusing on a particular linguistic topic.

(I have also included some separate previews of some of the pages).
The grammar topics include:
present tense
perfect tense
future tense
imperfect tense
pluperfect tense
conditional perfect tense
subjunctive mood
negation
nouns & gender
adjectival agreement
possessive adjectives

A series of posters to be used as display or put into a mini revision guide for 8 tenses (present, present continuous, present perfect, preterite, imperfect, near future, simple future and conditional). Each poster includes the endings for each tense, the most common time phrases/ adverbs it is used with, irregular verbs and examples. The colourful format makes it visual and eye-catching.
The lessons and strategies that were shared have proved extremely helpful to teachers who are pursuing an invigorated emphasis on the correct use of mechanics in written language and Standard American English grammar in both oral and written language.
Many of the strategies include active physical participation for students. This makes the activities fun and provides an outlet for youthful energy, especially for elementary males, who, according to research, need many opportunities for physical activity in their daily routines.
A simple but effective game which revises different parts of grammar and punctuation.
Pupils play in teams. They choose an area (eg verbs) from the game board. The PowerPoint will throw up a question about the chosen area and reveal the answer when clicked.
This activity can easily last a whole one hour lesson. Pupils enjoy the competitive element. It can be used as a ‘fun’ way to revise grammar terminology in preparation for the KS2 SATs.
Categories in the game: verbs, connectives, adverbs, subject and object, names for words (eg plural, antonym), prepositions and articles, adjectives and determiners, apostrophes, various punctuation.
