How to Use a Picture Talk Activity to Reinforce Spanish Vocabulary

April 5, 2023 No Comments

Have you heard about picture talk activities for Spanish class? I am obsessed with them because they are so easy (VERY low prep) and can be as short or as long as you need them to be. Curious how I set mine up? Check out this post for how I lesson plan picture talks. Ready to try one out? Keep reading about this picture talk freebie for reviewing high frequency verbs and school vocabulary. 

Step one:

After you pick the image, decide which high frequency words you want to target. For my class, I focus on these:

  • Le gusta
  • Clase de arte
  • Estudiar
  • Estudiantes
  • Profesor(a)
  • Es 
  • Hay

Step two:

Project the painting in class and discuss it with your students. I include a ton of questions that circle the high frequency verbs for you to use/get you thinking.

Step three:

Do a follow up activity to check for comprehension. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Write & Discuss whole class activity
  • Preguntas personales (Example- ¿Prefieres cuando hace frío o calor?)
  • Write a short story or paragraph describing the painting.

Ready to try a picture talk with your class?  Drop me your name and personal email and I’ll send you a copy. This picture talk freebie focuses on school vocabulary and the high frequency verbs es, le gusta, and hay.
