Description

Get students out of their seats, racing to the board, and pulling up vocabulary under pressure, with zero prep for you.

Teams get a card with 12 pictures. On the board is a blank 3×4 grid for each team. One by one, teammates race to the grid, find an image, then race to the board and write the Spanish word in the box that matches the picture’s spot on their card. The first team with a complete, correct grid wins!

It’s fast and loud in the best way, and it works as a review or as a brain break that still keeps students using Spanish.

What’s included

• 15 themed games
• 3 different team cards per theme: each card has 12 pictures. The cards share some words but not all, and the pictures sit in different spots, so teams can’t copy each other.

• Teacher instructions with set-up, game play, spelling and article guidelines, and differentiation tips
• Follow-up ideas that turn the pictures into picture talk and quick writes
• Editable blank template so you can create your own games (try it with illustrations from your favorite reader)
• Format: Printable PDF
