Use this page to create the Guess Who? game. You would need a copy of the page for each partner to use. Then a set of the pictures from a page that have been cut up into individual cards/photos. Students would pick their person from the single cut-outs and place it face down until they need to look at it to answer a question about their person. Students would also need something like bingo chips or dry erase markers on laminated copies. They would ask yes or no description questions in Spanish and then mark off the characters according to their partner's answer. First person to guess their partner's person by eliminating all of the other people is the winner.

SERI found "SER" to be one of the most difficult things for students to remember. However, this mnemonic has become one of my most popular lessons. Students remember and use them all the time after they have learned it this way.The first form is your teacher notes with all the answers. It will help you lead them and understand the lesson.  The second one is the student form they would fill it in as you lead them in. Normally, after I present this lesson. I ask students to write sentences about them using all the functions of “SER”. Then about their parents.  I modeled on myself first. Then I ask them to come to the front of the class and read their examples. 

Students prepare an elementary class lesson to present to the class using a children's story in Spanish (ie Huevos Verdes con Jamón, Si le das una galleta a un ratón, etc).Depending on current classroom/social distancing rules, in the past they have done 'story time' all sitting around the students presenting (they brought in a towel or pillow or blanket to sit on the floor in circle time like they remembered from elementary school).

Students research, prepare and report on their trip of a lifetime to a Spanish speaking country.
