Valentine's Day is almost here! I always enjoy doing something with my classes during this time. This year I have created some fun, no-prep worksheets for grades K-5 (a total of 6 activities) as well as two full lessons for those grades. You can download the free printable activities by clicking the button below. Keep reading to see what I created for my full lessons. For Kindergarten I created a story based lesson for my Kinders that teaches them some basic vocabulary. I chose to retell the story, "The Day it Rained Hearts" using Alex the Alpaca as the main character. Students focus on the words "corazón" and "tarjeta" during the story as well as the activities with the overall focus being on words for Valentine's Day, colors and numbers. It's a fun but still relevant way to bring the holiday into your Spanish classroom. You can see a few pictures of everything I include in the lesson pack on TpT below.

This method is used often in CI teaching and I really enjoyed using movie talks with my highschool students. I think older elementary students will have a lot of fun with this method too. Students are walked through screen shots of a digital short that is narrated by you, the teacher in the target language. After you talk them through the story using only pictures and Spanish, they get to watch the clip and see how much they understood in your narration. It's a great way to cram a lot of vocabulary into a short and engaging lesson. You can see pictures of the things included in the lesson below and click the button to go to the listing on TpT.
