More Than Memorizing Words

Learning vocabulary is about more than remembering a list of words.

These activities give students opportunities to recognize vocabulary, understand it in context, and use it as they read, speak, write, and interact with their classmates. Many resources combine vocabulary practice with reading, grammar, cultural connections, or communication so students can see how the language actually works together.

Easy to Prep. Easy to Adapt.

The goal is to make your planning a little easier.

Many of these activities are print, copy, and go, making them useful for whole-class instruction, centers, independent practice, fast-finishers, or sub plans. Several can also be adapted for different levels or used as a starting point for additional speaking and writing activities.

Use them after introducing new vocabulary, as a review before an assessment, or simply when you need an activity that gets students actively working with Spanish.

Vocabulary in Context

You'll find vocabulary connected to topics students encounter throughout Spanish courses—from school, activities, and everyday life to communities, culture, technology, and more.

The activities are designed to help students build confidence with familiar vocabulary while also encountering new words and expressions in context.
