I absolutely love using Picture talks because my students get to hear new vocabulary in context and they hear the correct forms of the appropriate verbs! You will love these picture talk activities with the Super 7 verbs. The teacher projects the authentic paintings by the famous painters and then “circles” the Super 7 verb with questions for the class. The visual cue gives a nice anchor for context so the teacher can provide a foundation of the most often used words in Spanish. Plus, its a simple natural way to include question words in Spanish! Students then demonstrate comprehension by answering true/ false questions, writing statements, and identifying key symbols in the painting. At the end of this activity, they answer personal questions, making connections to the painting.
