This activity is very simple and can be used for large groups or for a single student.

⏲ Time needed

✏️✂️ Materials needed
- Printed photos or drawings of the student’s friends or classmates. Some of the pictures should include only boys, only girls, and some both.
- Stickers or labels if you have them, or scotch tape and a pen
👩👧👦 Ages
For anyone who is game to play! Learning in a playful and different way helps everyone remember the Spanish vocabulary long-term.
Step 1
First, have your students gather their favorite photos (or drawings!) of their friends or classmates. Make sure that there is a variety of photos of individual and group photos. As well as boys only, girls only, and a mix of both. This is how we will practice each of the four vocabulary words.
Step 2
Create labels with a pen and some scotch tape, or use stickers if you have them. Create enough labels for each of the four vocabulary words: amigo, amiga, amigos, amigas.
Have your students label each photo with the correct stickers or labels and say the word aloud, pointing to the photo as they do so.
Step 3
For a fun additional step to this activity, have your students take any leftover amigo and amiga stickers and stick them on their friends’ shirts! As they sticker a friend, have the student teach them the new Spanish word!
Challenge: Try to say these words 3 times today.
