SPANISCH BEGINNER SPANISH NUMBERS 0-21 TASK CARDS SPANISH FOR CHILDREN SPANISH NUMBERS 0-21 TASK CARDS 48 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS WITH ANSWER KEY, RECORDING SHEET AND NUMBER REFERENCE LIST

Task / challenge cards are an ideal language learning activity for Spanish class, and really help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their Spanish language skills in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The set is ideal for whole lessons, and individual questions work really well as bell ringers / starters. The focus is Spanish numbers 0-21, which is usually described as beginner Spanish vocabulary, particularly for very young students. The questions however are aimed more at advanced beginner Spanish students, rather than infant / kindergarten age, as some of the calculations / sequences may be beyond their arithmetic skills at this stage.

Students may not yet have engaged formally with the range of language in the questions, though they will be able to infer meaning by looking closely for cognates or near-cognates such as por ciento, or thinking a little more laterally, for example working out that a cuarto is a quarter. This makes the questions generally more comprehensive and engaging than a straightforward practicing numbers activity - they provide students with an opportunity to both consolidate familiar language and to actively engage with, and learn, new language. It’s useful to read through the questions as a whole-group first, to ensure that everyone can engage fully with the activity.

To maximise the learning potential of the questions, look at the multiple-choice questions as a whole-group activity, identifying not only why there is a single correct response, but what the errors are in the other choices. Identifying errors, and explaining precisely why something is inaccurate or incorrect, helps students to think reflect on language, and ensures that they are thinking concepts through, rather than simply relying on learned responses.

The resource comprises the following non-editable files:

= 48 differentiated question cards - laminate if possible, as they will remain in excellent condition for years. Print, laminate and distribute single pages, rather than individual cards, as this saves prep time

= answer key - this can also be laminated, and shared among groups of students for class work; alternatively it's fine to distribute this electronically

= recording sheet - simply print as many as your particular groups need. Students generally use their class workbooks for working out and noting responses, though recording sheets are definitely useful for more formal assessment purposes

= numbers 0-21 in Spanish reference list, again fine to distribute electronically

The Lively Learning Classroom offers a wide range of Spanish resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.
