Spring Break Chat in Spanish Class

Typically I never got a real Spring Break and instead, just have a long weekend for Easter. Either way, I love having activities like this ready to go, which means not as much stress right before and after a break. I have versions that will work in person, hybrid, distance, or a combination of all of the above.

I would traditionally do all of the following ideas with Spanish 2 and above, but you could do them with late Spanish 1, especially just focusing on not much vocabulary, like just using “went.”

Idea #1 for Spanish Spring Break Chat – Google Slides 

Using Pre Break Slide from my shop or on TPT &/or

 Post Break Slides from my shop or on TPT

– Reading, Chatting & Writing for a whole class period

– Paperless in person, virtual for absent students, or virtual students

• Reading – Instruct students to read through the reading slides of I form preterite statements & highlight everything plans to do or did over break. (reading input of 1st person)
• Speaking – In pairs, small groups, or break-out rooms, have students chat in Spanish using the speaking questions. To support students if needed, you could let them first type out possible answers before asking and answering so they feel more prepared. This could also be on Flipgrid if you would like.
• Writing – Let students know which of the writing prompts listed you want them to type about. This could be writing about their own break, or what they learned about their classmates.

Idea #2 – Google Slides 

Using either of the Spring Break Slides from above

– Discussion prompts over many days as class starters leading up to or after a break

– Distance, Hybrid, or paperless in person

Idea #3 – Find Someone Who – Digital – Spring Break in Spanish Class

Using Before SPRING break Spanish Worksheet or Spring Break FSW on TPT (future)

or Post Spring Break Worksheet  orSpring Break FSW on TPT (past) or fue (Spanish 1 past)
