Jigsaw pieces for pupils to develop simple writing about themselves. Useful to help develop independence in writing: you may wish to use it as a crib sheet. It could act as a speaking aide-mémoire also. See also my Tout sur Moi template which has sentence beginnings to support weaker pupils.
Blank jigsaw pieces to complete with written personal information. If cut out, the pieces should tessellate if turned around. Could make an effective activity for lower ability groups...
Lesson 2. Use to introduce or consolidate work on unit 1.2 of Viva 1 Module 1 Mi Vida. Plenty of activities to fill a lesson plus in-built differentiation. Ooops! The picture I used here is of a girl...I'll rectify this in the resource and the image ASAP! Apologies...
Spanish
En la tienda de ropa - repaso
Good for cover; worksheet with a few activities about clothes shopping. Vocab’ match. Vocab’ copying. Translate a shop dialogue into Spanish. Pattern matching (e.g. de flores + picture).
Extension ideas: learners could make up their own shop dialogues, look up more vocabulary. Create dialogues for each other to translate.
Update
Following a three star review, I’ve added an extra sheet for extension work where more guidance is needed than what I’ve suggested above.
Routine quotidienne - vocab’ test
An A4 sheet with two identical vertical gap-fill tests on simple daily routine vocabulary. Extension at the bottom is to write about their own routine.
Spanish Easter Booklet
Year 7 / Grade 6
Spanish Easter vocabulary: This is an 8 page booklet of basic Spanish Easter vocabulary matching, colouring and puzzles with answers. It is appropriate as a stand-alone document to introduce Easter vocabulary. Alternatively, it could supplement your learning on festivals.
You can use each of the 8 sheets independently as needed within your lessons or print as an A4 booklet ready for your learners to work through. The booklet begins with a cover page to colour in to help settle your group. In-built differentiation or challenge working through the Easter booklet means that all children should be able to access the learning independently, allowing you to help those who most need it. It would therefore also work well as a cover lesson.
Vocabulary: BASIC feliz Semana Santa, una cesta de Pascua, una cruz, una campana, un conejo, un huevo, un cordero, unos tulipanes, un patito, una iglesia, unos narcisos, un pollito, chocolate
CHALLENGE las etrellas, los potes de pintura, la mariposa, el césped, el cielo, azul claro, como quieres
This booklet is intended for Year 7 learners and helps them develop basic knowledge of Easter vocabulary in Spanish. For extension and challenge, you could:
• Ask learners to write a paragraph about why they like or dislike Easter
• Say what they receive at Easter, what they do and where they go
• Prepare an Easter card for a friend, teacher or relative using their new vocabulary
• Make an Easter board game
• Write about why Easter is an important festival
• Research the differences between Easter in their country and France and write a summary in English or the TL.
If you find this resource useful, look for the whole pack of booklets with many more varieties of activities for Year 7 through to Year 11. Each booklet is different, so you’ll never need to look for Easter resources again. I’m due to revamp years 8-11, so bear with me!
