SPANISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES WORD SEARCHES FREEBIE: two differentiated word searches with answer keys. I have a set of 10 differentiated word searches with answer keys and countries, capital cities and flags reference sheet in my store here:
SPANISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES: TEN DIFFERENTIATED WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS & COUNTRIES, CAPITALS & NATIONAL FLAGS REFERENCE SHEET
The 10-word search set description is as follows:
Sopas de letras 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 set features ten differentiated word searches, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. It focuses on 21 countries where Spanish is an official language, with an additional 3 where a significant number of the population speak Spanish as their first or second language. The word searches help students develop their knowledge and awareness of the Spanish-speaking world, and just how widely Spanish is spoken around the globe.
In Grids 1-4, students search for a particular country. In Grids 5 & 6, they search for a range of capital cities. Grid 7 gives 16 capital cities as prompts, and students search for the corresponding countries in the grid. Similarly, in Grid 8, there are 16 countries given, and students search for the corresponding capital cities in the grid. Grids 9 & 10 show a selection of national flags, and students search for the corresponding countries in the grid, and also write the country name in the prompt box next to the individual flag.
There is a single grid per page, A4 (8.5 x 11) portrait format. Students can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid. Each grid has a corresponding answer key, so that students can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it.
I’ve included a complete reference sheet of all 24 countries, capital cities and flags - you can either laminate this to share around small groups of students, or give one to each student to stick into their learning workbooks as a general longer-term reference resource.

SPANISH VOCABULARY CARDS BUNDLE #1
**SPANISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER SPANISH VOCABULARY CARDS : REFERENCE, RECALL & WRITE WORKBOOK TWO SETS @ $1.80 EACH IN THE BUNDLE 198 WORDS & PHRASES WITH MATCHING ENGLISH CARDS** My students really like to work independently, in pairs and in small groups, and these vocabulary cards enable them to do that. They find that this way of working really does help them to ***develop their confidence and embed the vocabulary into their longer-term memory***. There are lots of games and activities to play, and I've described several that are successful with my groups. They love to quiz and test themselves and each other on a regular basis - it's a very popular alternative to more traditional vocabulary 'drilling tasks'. Giving students ***regular and frequent opportunities*** to work with the cards is really effective, and not only when we're focusing on these particular vocabulary themes, but also across the school year, and even when they're far more advanced in their learning - all learners benefit from going back to the start. ***The target vocabulary includes essential beginner Spanish words and phrases in the following vocabulary groups:*** **Set 1:** *Los saludos Los días de la semana Los meses y las estaciones del año Los números 0-20 Mi familia Palabras frecuentes Frases útiles para la clase Preguntas y respuestas* **Set 2:** *Los saludos Los colores Las partes del cuerpo Los números 21-40 El tiempo Frases útiles para la clase Preguntas y respuestas* Varying teaching and learning methodologies in the languages classroom is really important, and these cards enable students to ***learn entirely independently***. There's definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - laminating is certainly worth the effort, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly, and do last for years. Students don't have to play with full sets - they can work with selected vocabulary groups. The ***18-page reference, recall and write workbooks*** give students a different way of consolidating their vocabulary - writing it out really helps to embed language, and is great for spelling too. There are ***3 differentiated recall and write challenges*** in each workbook, as well as a full ***alphabetical Spanish-English vocabulary list***, which works well as a longer-term reference resource too. Students are able to ***apply their Spanish creatively and practicall***y with the games cards templates, which is an essential element of ***successful language learning***. The differentiated Recall & Write activities really help students practice and review the vocabulary, and to work on spelling and writing in Spanish: The ***3 differentiated Recall & Write activities*** really help students practice and review the vocabulary, and to work on ***spelling and writing in Spanish***: ***Written Recall Challenge One***: students write the English word /phrase from a Spanish prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Two***: with this challenge, students write the words and phrases in Spanish from an English prompt, and again, they're all group together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Three***: this final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from Spanish to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category I encourage students to complete the ***Notes and Next Steps*** sheet regularly - this helps promote ***reflective learning***, encourages students to think about ***progress*** they have made, to think about ***targets for improvement***, and ***how to achieve those targets***. ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish independent learning activities, and a wide range of other Spanish teaching and learning materials, with dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *All files are non-editable in a zipped format.

SPANISH AR VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #2
**BEGINNER SPANISH INTERMEDIATE SPANISH AR VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE IMPERFECT, FUTURE & CONDITIONAL TENSES** *25 high-frequency Spanish AR verbs 3 workbooks & tenses @ $1.20 each, 150 conjugations, 3 differentiated conjugation challenges, answer keys & verbs lists* ideal for ***advanced beginner Spanish students moving into intermediate Spanish*** students who are working with more complex language and texts, which feature a range of tenses. 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. . ***The tenses are:*** imperfect *(pretérito imperfecto)* future *(futuro)* conditional *(condicional)* I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - 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***. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, which they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how *Spanish* conjugation 'works'. When they are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well *The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage*, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, students with ***English as a first language*** frequently ***confuse the imperfect tense with the preterite tense*** when they are conjugating them, as well as when and how to use either tense. There are specific differences in usage between the tenses, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks. Generally, I introduce the ***imperfect and preterite tenses*** fairly closely together, with lots of practice for both correct conjugation and usage, as I've found that ***comparing and contrasting*** tenses helps students really grasp the nuances of the tenses, the differences in endings, and when exactly to use them. 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. ***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 dollar deals, special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a selection here.*** *Files are non-editable in a zipped format.
