Lesson 7 - Horario de Clases (Class Schedule)
Vocabulary
Language Focus: School Subjects in Spanish
Classroom activities: Concentration game - Print out the School Subject concentration card sheet (one for each set of cards that you want to make). Cut out and glue each square on an index card. Mix up the cards and give a set of cards to each group of students (group of 4?). Have the students lay the cards out into a grid face down on a table or desk. The students take turns flipping two cards (any cards) over to see if they can get a match (the picture with the word). If they get a match, they keep the cards, and they go again. If they don't get a match, it's the next student's turn. At the end of the game, students count up how many cards they have. The students with the most cards wins.
Grammar
Language Focus: How to tell time
Classroom activities:
1) Buy "Will return" clock signs from an office supply store or online. Have the students practice in pairs moving the hands on the clock to display a time. The other student says what the time is.
2) Time Bingo - Print out the blank bingo card. Make copies for each student. Write 24 different times on the board in number format (like 5:30, 8:45, 9:10, etc.). Have the students randomly write each of the times in a square on the Bingo card. Call out one of the times and have the students put a marker (I use dry beans) on the time that was called. Don't forget to keep track of what times you have called so that you can verify the winner later. The first student who get five in a row wins.
