Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognize and apply ten Spanish color words, such as amarillo, verde, and anaranjado, by coloring a crayon page and a haunted-house scene.

  • Learn 14 Spanish Halloween vocabulary words, such as fantasma, bruja, and murciélago, by locating them in a word search.

  • Connect spoken Spanish vocabulary from two linked videos to its written form in the coloring and word-search activities.

Teaching tips

  • Play both linked videos before handing out the printable pages, since the coloring instructions and word-search vocabulary both assume students have already heard the words.

  • Have students color the loose crayon outlines on page 1 before the haunted-house scene, since it functions as a quick color-word check before the larger picture.

  • Use the word search as a wrap-up once the coloring page is finished, since it reuses several of the same vocabulary words in written form.

Skills covered

  • Color-word recognition — students match ten Spanish color words to the correct crayon or picture element.

  • Thematic vocabulary acquisition — students learn 14 Spanish Halloween words such as fantasma, calabaza, and esqueleto.

  • Word-search scanning — students locate all 14 vocabulary words hidden in a letter grid.

  • Listening-to-print connection — two linked videos introduce the target vocabulary aurally before students encounter it in print.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do the two linked videos need to be watched before starting the printable pages?

Yes — the instructions direct students to watch both videos first, since the coloring page and word search both assume that vocabulary has already been introduced.
