Tackle Spanish revision head on with this selection of hand-picked revision resources, quality assured and aligned to the new specification. What better way to practise essential reading, writing, speaking and listening skills than with these in-class revision games, exam questions and activities?
There are different ways to use this handout. It could be used for self-assessment.
After my IGCSE students have written a long essay, each student does this activity based on their own writing and analyse the different language features that they’ve included.
This can be set as a task for remote learning to foster independence and self-evaluation.
A set of flashcards, divided by AQA’s Themes and topics, with possible questions for the General Conversation part of the GCSE Speaking exam. When cut, students will have the question on one side and they can write their answers on the other side. Cards could also be hole punched and kept together with treasury tags or they could be laminated.
A double-sided writing mat which encourages students to include a wide range of connectives, opinion phrases, intensifiers, infinitive constructions etc. in their written or oral work.
Sheet also includes easy-to-use complex structures and ‘Grade 9’ features such as idioms and subjunctive to enable high ability students to access top marks for linguistic knowledge/range of language.
Spanish tenses are all the various grammatical conjugations you need to apply to a verb in order to communicate correctly at any level. Enable your students to communicate at KS3, GCSE and A-level with this useful revision resource!
A resource for your pupils to use as revision of all the tenses and irregular verbs.
Includes every single tense and mood:
-Present, Present participle (gerund)
-Preterite, Imperfect, Perfect
-Conditional, Future
-Subjunctive - present, perfect, pluperfect and imperfect.
These are few grammar games that I decided to share. I would use them for pretty much all age groups, both KS3 and KS4, GCSE both tiers. They can be easily amended to suit the grammar topics that you wish to reinforce / revise / introduce. The templates can also be easily reused for French.

This document contains nine cards (6cmx6cm) that can be used to revise specific Vocabulary. It is based on the Pictionary Game. The document can be dowloaded and the vocabulary modified according to levels and topics. Suitable for Spanish, French and German.
Three speaking board games for preparing for GCSE/IGCSE speaking exams. One has 34 speaking questions and is of medium challenge, the second has 40 questions and has more challenging questions (targeting grades 7,8.9). The third has 60 + questions in range of tenses and are more challenging to push grade 8/9 pupils.
Pupils roll a dice and move around the board answering as they land on the questions. If they can give two sentences in response to the question to their partner, they can stay on the square they have moved to.
This booklet contains twenty four questions that follow the format of the 90-word questions in the new Spanish GCSE writing exam. They cover all three themes of the AQA specification, but can be easily adapted to other exam boards. There are eight questions for each theme, and they can be used in lessons, but also as an easy way to set useful homework activities for the students.
All questions include four bullet points that the students are prompted to cover, and they explicitly require them to include references to three time frames and opinions (as per the AQA mark scheme). When possible, one of the bullet points starts with ‘qué hiciste’, a question which appears in many of the AQA samples and that some students often fail to understand.
