Games
A great resource to teach vocabulary
Games are one of the most important strategies Foreign Language teachers can use. In this section we offer several games that your students can play on their own to learn and review vocabulary, or that you can play with the whole class, following the instructions that accompany them. Our goal is to reduce the time you spend getting games ready, and to combine technology with well-known games to make them more attractive to students.
Bingo: Household objects
This version of the popular Bingo game includes 30 different color cards and a program which randomly draws Spanish words. The students will hear the words first, so they also practice their listening comprehension, and some seconds later the word will appear in the screen.
The Bingo cards, included in a .PDF file (ready to print and cut), contain 27 squares arranged in three horizontal rows and nine columns. There are 12 free spaces and 15 pictures in each card. Every time you play, there will be two winners: the first one to complete a row (¡Línea!) and the one who completes the whole card (¡Bingo!).
This program will call 75 words which belong to the following topics:
- Objetos de la cocina: lavadora, nevera, tenedor, cuchara, cuchillo, servilleta, vaso, botella, sartén, microondas, jarra, lavaplatos, horno, cazo, bandeja.
- Objetos de una habitación/dormitorio: cama, almohada, armario, lámpara, computadora, ratón, altavoz, radio, impresora, escáner, consola, videojuego, cajón, calendario, despertador.
- Objetos de la sala/el salón: alfombra, librería, DVD, vídeo, sofá, sillón, mesa, planta, televisión, libro, cuadro, cojín, revista, cortina, mantel.
