Teaching Unit 1: How to Begin… If you don’t speak Spanish!

First, plan out how much to cover the first week. Set a small, reachable goal as you get started.

Familiarize yourself with the words you will teach that week. Check spanishmama.com for
pronunciation links. Practice until you feel confident.

Introduce the first set of words. The students should only see the words after hearing them
many times. Assign a motion or action to each word and focus on comprehending the word.
For muy bien, they could make a happy, thumbs-up face, and for muy mal, make a sad face.

Practice the song online. Even if they don’t understand all the words yet, the students (and
you!) will be internalizing the pronunciation and cadence of the language.

When the words are mastered, choose appropriate activities or games from the packet or
online links.

Activities

Make sad, happy, and “ok” faces on paper plates and ask the students directly ¿Como estas?
They can practicing answering according the face they are holding up. Ask about their
neighbor: ¿Como esta Sarah?

Sing the Buenos Días song together. If it’s the afternoon or evening, change it to say “buenas
tardes” or “buenas noches.” If you are new to Spanish, you can watch the other version online
together: Buenos Días.

Have your students begin their personal Spanish dictionaries. I have a free printable one available on spanishmama.com.

Do the Q&A Flow with Pictures. Make it even more interesing by using the same flow with pictures of characters from a favorite book or movie! (¿Como esta Eyeore? ¿Tigger esta bien?)
Games
Ojos Cerrados


Have the students close their eyes.
Call out a vocabulary word. The students act it out with their eyes closed.
If someone misses the answer, tap them quietly. They are out, but they get to open their eyes
and help you “catch” the other students. This way they are still participating.
The last student with closed eyes wins!
Bingo
Look at the vocabulary and draw a picture for each word in random squares. Try not to use
any English words unless you have to!
The teacher calls out the vocabulary words. The students cover the spot (use beans, counters,
whatever you have!).
3-in-a-row wins!
Pelota Caliente
Chant ¿Co-mo, có-mo, có-mo, estás? while passing a ball or soft object around in a circle.
Whoever is holding the ball when you get to the estas part answers the question: muy bien,
muy mal, or más o menos.
