Do your students struggle with the preterite vs imperfect tenses? Then this amazing fairy tale activity is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with the classic story of Hansel y Gretel is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the preterite and the imperfect, along with reading comprehension skills. Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this tricky grammar topic from dry and boring to engaging and fun!

The familiar story of Hansel and Gretel is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the preterite and imperfect tenses in Spanish with easy differentiation.

This file includes three versions of the same story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between the preterite and imperfect tenses of the verb.
• Version B also has the verbs already conjugated, but in addition to choosing the correct form of the verb, students must explain why they chose the preterite or imperfect.
• Versions A and B also include true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
• Version C includes only the infinitive, so they must first decide which tense to use and then fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb.
• Version C also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Versions A and C are both two pages long, while version B is three pages long. The three different versions make differentiation simple!

Also included in this download is:

• a mini pictorial vocabulary list in color and black and white
• a ten-slide mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
• a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story or summarize the story in six parts)
• answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions
• a teacher tips page.

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

This story would make a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for Spanish 2 or as a review of the Preterite vs Imperfect tenses at the beginning of Spanish 3 or 4.

**Please Note: this is the same story as my Hansel y Gretel – Simple Present Tense story in the past.
