Fun activities for teaching St. Patrick's Day vocabulary! Four no-prep resources you'll want to use year after year to add St. Patrick's Day vocabulary into Spanish class!
I love using word walls in the classroom to build vocabulary and decorate bulletin boards! Students are drawn to the bright images and new words. This St. Patrick's Day Word Wall has 21 Irish themed vocabulary words to give students visual support on reading or writing activities. Instant comprehensible input.
Everyone loves bingo! This St. Patrick's Day Bingo game includes 16 vocabulary words (that correspond to the word wall), 40 bingo cards and a set of calling cards. Use the cards to call words out in Spanish as students search for the correct image. There are so many ways to play! You can go for the traditional 4 in a row, 4 corners, the 4 middle squares, an X, or all of the squares around the perimeter. Simple & easy translation game to pull out at a moment's notice or for the last few minutes of class. Fun to use in small groups or stations! Also available in English.
Word searches are a fun & easy, low stress activity. Not only are they FUN — they improve word recognition, spelling and increase vocabulary. Students don't even realize they're learning! This St. Patrick's Day Word Search has 18 holiday words to define & find. Great activity to have on hand for warm ups, fast finishers, stations, or easy Spanish sub plans. My students beg for word searches!
I love using posters to motivate and inspire students. I do believe that "the harder you work, the more luck you have." I want my students to believe it too. Promote that hard work ethic with this More Work, More Luck poster! Build good character traits and decorate your Spanish, English or dual language classroom. Includes the English version!
Hope you've found some great ideas to bring some Irish fun into your Spanish class!
¡Buena suerte!
