📋 Five ready-to-use lesson ideas

Each one takes 10–20 minutes and needs no prep beyond a screen or a printout. · Sin preparación.

1. Word Hunt Warm-Up

Grades 2–5

Print the weekly word search. Give 10 minutes to find as many words as possible. When time’s up, each student shares one word they found and its English meaning.

Imprime la sopa de letras de la semana; cada estudiante comparte una palabra y su significado.

2. Word-a-Day Journal

Grades 3–8 · Adult learners

Open the daily word on the home page. Students write the word, its meaning, and one original sentence. By the end of the month, each learner has built a personal bilingual dictionary.

Cada día: escribe la palabra, su significado y una oración propia. Al final del mes, un diccionario personal.

3. Crossword Partners

Grades 4–8

In pairs, students solve the Flags & Travel crossword together: one reads the English clue aloud, the other spells the Spanish answer. Then they switch roles.

En parejas: uno lee la pista en inglés, el otro deletrea la respuesta en español. Luego cambian.

4. Anthem Around the World

Grades K–6

Play one national anthem from the Anthems page. Find the country on a map, then learn to say its name in Spanish. A gentle mix of geography, culture, and language.

Escucha un himno, encuentra el país en el mapa y aprende a decir su nombre en español.

5. Build-Your-Own Puzzle

Grades 3–6

Students pick 8 Spanish words on a theme (animals, food, family) and use the Word List Maker to create a puzzle for a classmate to solve. Making a puzzle teaches the words twice.

Elige 8 palabras de un tema y crea un juego para un compañero. Hacer el juego enseña las palabras dos veces.
