Looking for a fun, communicative, and ready-to-use activity for your Spanish B1 students? This resource is designed to energize your classroom with humor, creativity, and spontaneous speaking practice while reinforcing an essential grammar structure: “deberías / no deberías” (should / shouldn’t).
What’s Included
- This pack includes 2 printable PDFs (20 cards each) based on two engaging themes:
- Rutinas y tiempo libre (Routines & Free Time)
- Comida y bebida (Food & Drink)
Each card follows the same structure:
- “3 razones por las que SÍ deberías…”
- “3 razones por las que NO deberías…”
Both PDFs contain the same statements, but with a different twist (yes vs. no), so students can playfully argue both sides of the same situation!
Why Focus on Deberías / No deberías?
Learning how to use “deberías / no deberías” is a key milestone for B1 learners, as it allows them to:
- Express advice, recommendations, and opinions.
- Practice modal structures naturally in context.
- Improve their ability to persuade, justify, and reason in Spanish.
- Gain confidence in spontaneous, real-world communication.
This activity places grammar into a meaningful, fun, and interactive context, helping students remember and apply it beyond the classroom.
How to Play:
- A student takes a card and reads the statement aloud.
- They have about 1 minute (flexible) to improvise a mini-monologue with 3 persuasive reasons.
- Classmates vote on the most funny, logical, absurd, or ridiculous response.
The activity can be played in two modes:
- Give 3 reasons why you should do something.
- Give 3 reasons why you shouldn’t do it.
Why You’ll Love It
- Perfect as a brain break, icebreaker, or end-of-lesson activity.
- Adaptable to both teenagers and adults.
- Ready to print, cut, and laminate for repeated use.
- Flexible: great for whole-class games, pair work, or small groups.
Bring laughter, energy, and meaningful grammar practice into your Spanish lessons with these improvisation cards!
