Need a quick worksheet for your Spanish class to reinforce the preterite & imperfect tenses? My students always always needed more practice and input with the past tense in Spanish. But do you ever run low on different ways to get them reading in Spanish that are engaging but don’t take you too much time to create/ lesson plan? This quick Spanish worksheet on preterite and imperfect will get your students reading in the past tense ASAP and excited to share their answers since it’s all about their favorite subject- themselves! Drop your name & email and I’ll send this awesome no prep activity to you.
Follow up Activities:
1. Class discussion.
Use the worksheet as a spring board to discussing preferences, likes, dislikes, things in common, differences in class. Students can simply give a thumbs up/down to show their preferences. You can even ask one brave students to take the “hot seat” and be interviewed about their answers.
2. Data- line up and take pics
Write “cierto” and “falso” on opposite ends of the board. Read one of the questions out loud and your students will line up under their answer. Then save yourself some planning for tomorrow by taking a pic of the class to visually show their answers. The next day continue the discussion about their experiences based on the pics.
3. Guess the teacher’s answers
Have your students take out a scrap piece of paper and number 1-10. Read the questions out loud. Your students will write down their answers as they guess if these are true or false for their teacher. At the end, reveal your answers one by one. Students can grade themselves and then see who knows the teacher best. My students get such a kick out of this.
4. Guess the student
Collect all the papers. Explain that you’re going to give clues about one of their classmates and the students have to guess who you’re describing. Once they think they know who the student is, they should write down their name on a piece of paper. Describe several students (you can easily cut this short or extend it depending on how long your class period is). At the end, do the big reveal of who each student was. This is yet another opportunity to repeat the Spanish.
