Spanish
Sentence Cards
Spanish
Sentence Cards are manipulative that engage children at an early age to build
short and simple sentences as well as help them with Spanish sight words. Even
though these cards are to be use with children 5 to 7 years of age, I have had
success using it with some 4 year old as well. So depending on your group you can decide is
you will use it with the 4’s.
Instructions
on how to use the cards are provided along with the product.
I
will share here some games and additional suggestions on how Spanish Sentence
Cards can be use.
1.
The pairing
game:
Make sure to have an even number of students for the pairing game. Give cards
with words to half of the students and to the other half pictures. At your
command have students find their partners by matching the correct word with the
picture.
2.
Memory game: Students
sit in a circle. Have cards with words and pictures face down on the floor in a
structured order. Students take turn turning over one picture card and one
word. If it matches, the students take the pair. The student with the most
pairs of cards wins.
3.
The asking
game: Have students sit down in a circle. Place the
picture cards facing up on the floor. Ask students questions like these: “¿qué
es azul?” students should respond: “la mesa es azul.” If they do not
know how to respond, then the instructor should respond. Another questions
could be: “¿qué es blanco?” students response should be: “el
muñeco de nieve es blanco”. Another question could be: “¿qué es anaranjada?” response: “la
pelota es anaranjada.” And so on. Suggestion:
It is preferable for the students to respond in complete sentence as reinforcement
in building Spanish sentences with the cards.
4.
Select the
adjective game:
With this game students have the opportunity to select the correct adjective to
complete the sentence. Have students sit in a circle. Place a picture card on
the floor and start the sentence and allow students to take turn picking the appropriate
adjective to complete the sentence. For example you could have the picture of the
car, and then place the word below it that says: “El carro es….. A student
selected by the instructor select the adjective that describe something about “el
carro”. And so on.
Suggestion: To help
students learn these sight words even faster you can make several copies of two
or three words and have students repeat after you. Doing this over a short
period of time will greatly increase students ability to recognize and pronounce
the words easily as well as increase their ability to correlate each word with
the correct image. You can even have a specific number of words you want to
teach and make several copies and have students turn the words over and read
it. Because you have several copies of the same words, it will become more and
more familiar when students encounter the words over and over again.
