¿Adivina quién?

Guess who?
My 6th grade students have been working really hard learning different components to an interview. Our goal is to be able to make small talk with a person from a Spanish speaking country. 
While the written and grammatical aspects of learning Spanish are very important, communication is vital in the process of retaining a foreign language. I like to bring some games to the classroom that will get students talking to one another in Spanish. 
Below is our version of the popular game "Guess Who?". 
The class worked on creating a profile for a made up character. Profiles were presented to the class. The class was divided into two teams. 
Students were able to ask each other basic questions in hopes of eliminating their opponents.
Some laughs were shared and their skills improved significantly!

¡Feliz cumpleaños Dr. Seuss!

In honor of his birthday, my students and I enjoyed a short passage from a classic (in Spanish), and played some games with some Dr. Seuss materials.
I really enjoyed seeing how creative our teachers at St. Joseph are and all the wonderful ideas they had to celebrate this wonderful author!!!
