Fallas Word Scramble – ¡Fiesta de Vocabulario!

I created this scramble for my Spanish class during our Fallas de Valencia unit. Students race to unscramble 24 vibrant terms like "ninot," "mascletà," and "cremà"—then match them to pictures of the festival’s wildest moments (page 2). The room erupts when someone finally yells "¡PETARDOS!" (firecrackers)!

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 printable pages (scramble + answer key)
✔ Bonus “Design Your Ninot” activity (students create their own satirical figure)
✔ Real festival photos as clues

Classroom Chaos:
“My kids started chanting ‘OLE!’ each time someone solved a word—we had to move tables for our impromptu pasodoble!” —Señora R., 3rd Year Spanish

Perfect For:
• March culture lessons
• Substitute teacher plans
• Club Español events

Sample Scrambles:

• TOCNIA (Answer: acción)

• LETACSMÀ (Answer: mascletà)

• MARÈC (Answer: cremà)

Teacher Hack:
Award “fallera” paper crowns to winners—bonus points if they can flamenco-stomp while shouting their answers!
