Interactive and Fun!

Gamifying your Spanish class can bring numerous benefits and enhance the learning experience for students. Here are some reasons why you should consider gamifying your Spanish class:

1. Increased Engagement: Games are inherently engaging and can capture students' attention. Gamifying your Spanish class makes learning more enjoyable and encourages active participation.

2. Motivation: Games provide a sense of achievement and progress. Students are motivated to earn points, badges, or rewards, which can drive them to learn and improve their Spanish skills.

3. Interactive Learning: Gamification promotes interactive learning through challenges, quizzes, and interactive exercises. This hands-on approach helps students actively practice and apply their language skills.

4. Competition: Healthy competition can inspire students to excel. Leaderboards and challenges encourage students to strive for better performance, fostering a sense of achievement.

Here’s the kicker—(More with purchase)

WARM-UP (GROUP READING ACTIVITY)

The room has been set up into 10 centers: 2 centers for each country being studied. The goal is for each student to visit all five countries, but not to visit all ten centers since some are duplicates. The centers will be timed giving students 10 minutes to complete the reading and

2-minute assignment.

Explain to students that they will be visiting six different countries: Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, Vietnam and India to learn the roles of women (and men) in each country and how they have improved. (Note: North and South Korea have been combined into one learning center.)

They will be given 8 minutes to read their activity and 2 minutes to complete the center activity. Once eight minutes have passed, the instructor will notify the class by ringing a bell or using another sound. The remaining two minutes will be used to complete the 2-minute activity (see below).

THE 2-MINUITE ASSIGNMENTS:

(Included with purchase)

Once the warm-up reading center’s activity is complete, the instructor will pick up the bags and will dump them all into one bag and shake them up.

MATCH MAKER GAME:

Explain to students, matchmaking is a process of making a match of an unmarried man and woman by a matchmaker, which is a common way of choosing a spouse in ancient China and other Asian cultures. The traditional Chinese wedding is much involved with "matchmaker", or in other words, marriage introducer. In Zhou Dynasty several thousand years ago, the post of "official matchmaker" was set up for management of marriage, supervising and urging young people old enough to marry or widows and widowers to marry. Later, the meaning of "matchmaker" extended to all persons or events that act as a go-between of marriage between two families.

Today matchmaking is still seen as the proper way to marry by the older generation. You will find that parents will trade a person’s resume and will compare it to their child’s to determine if it is a good match. However, there has been given more freedom, from one generation to another, of individual choice to choose a partner.

Tell students they are going to play a game called “Matchmaker”.

(Game included with purchase)

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY

Examine the Fu Xuan Woman Poem by Arthur Waley in how it relates to the role of women in Asia.

Have students work in groups of two to read and examine the poem Fu Xuan Woman. Provide each student with a Question for Thought Activity Sheet (Included). Give students 15 minutes to read and examine the poem, also attempting to answer the Questions for Thought.

Review the answers with the students:

1. What are some key words used to describe women of ancient China?

2. In lines 3-4, to what are boys compared?

3. What do lines 7 & 8 express about how girls are looked upon by families?

4. What does the Fu Xuan’s poem depict about the life and status of women in ancient China?

5. In what ways do the roles of women today differ from the images expressed in this poem?

CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (30 Minutes)

Provide each student with wrap-up activity sheet of a female from one of the countries studied. They are to write a letter to the female expressing his/her feelings and thoughts regarding the roles and status of women in that country, as well as celebrating how the roles and status of women within the country has improved. In addition, have each student express how he/she feels women’s roles will change in the future. Allow for follow-up discussion.

Teacher’s Guiding Questions:

1. What was life like for Asian women in the past?

2. What is life like for them today?

3. Do you think much has changed in the roles and statuses of women in Asia?

4. Based on what you know about women in Asia, what do you predict will be the future of these women?

5. What do you think needs to be done to improve the situations of women in Asia?

INTRODUCTORY VIDEO: CHOOSE THE VIDEO YOU WISH YOUR STUDENTS TO VIEW TO INTRODUCE THEM TO NATURAL DISASTERS:

Video links are included with purchase.

PROCEDURE:
Students will begin by spinning the wheel on the Forces of Nature game. They will take turns spinning, yet the group will only spin 3-5 times to acquire 3-5 different natural disasters to research (Based on the teacher’s requirements). A list of natural disasters is provided below for which students can refer. Each group will receive 3-5 research cards (included below) which ask them to name the natural disaster they have chosen to (1) research, (2) provide the location, (3) describe the physical damage, (4) explain the cause and effect, and (5) give a total of the estimated cost of damage and restoration costs. Allow students 10-20 minutes to research and complete each card for each natural disaster they chose to research.

Students may need to use problem-solving skills to determine how they are going to get all 3-5 completed within the limited time frame, meaning they may have to divide them up between group members and then come back and share their information.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION:
On the top of the board list the categories below, leaving room for students to place their natural disaster cards underneath the numbering system.

4=Results in the most physical damage cost the most amount of funds for restoration.

Provide students with a Forces of Nature Thinking Chart on which the audience can take notes while their classmates give presentations.

Using their cards, allow students, one team at a time, to present each of their natural disaster cards to the class. Direct them to place their card under one of the four categories of ratings on the board. Be sure to have tape available. Painter’s tape may be best.

Once the class has finished presentations and all cards are categorized on the board, allow the class to discuss what are the 10 Worst Natural Disasters from the presentations, from their lists on the board. This may require that cards be moved around from one category to another in order to determine the 10 Worst Natural Disasters. The discussion will be centered on physical damage & cost of restoration. If students wish to move a natural disaster to another category, they must support their decision with facts. At the end, you should have 10 natural disasters listed under Category 4. This will be what the class as a whole has decided is the most devastating natural disasters throughout history based on restoration costs.

What a fun way to study people throughout history. My students LOVE playing this game. They couldn't wait to play it. It encourages students to use their critical thinking skills while enjoying the learning process. This is very versatile and can be used over and over.

Tired of the same old basil workbook handouts? Whether you are studying historical people or current events, this will increase student learning and improve comprehension.

This is a great way to get your students involved in their own learning, giving them autonomy, and it is an activity that can be used across the curriculum. Students will have a great time analyzing characters, acting them out, and gaining points for identifying fact or fiction. This is not only great for social studies and geography, but for any lesson in which people or characters are being studied.

The provided 88 questions range from basic locations of countries and landforms to problem-solving questions.

But, if you choose not to use the set of questions provided, any set of trivia questions will work. If you need to use this game as a review activity for term tests, change the questions to questions related to your testing topic. Create your list of questions based on the knowledge you wish for your students to gain. Or, have your students/class come up with their own set of review Geography questions.
