About this resource

What's inside this resource

Sixteen Spanish room and part-of-house terms, such as el ático, el sótano, and la cocina, are introduced on illustrated flashcards before students cut and paste matching word labels onto diagrams of six specific rooms: the bathroom, bedroom, dining room, garage, kitchen, and living room. After labelling each room, students write original Spanish sentences using the vocabulary and colour the illustration, and a closing activity has them draw and label their own dream house. Teacher instructions in Spanish describe six oral vocabulary-review games, including a card-reveal duel called Vaqueros and a ball-toss game called Lanza bolas, for group practice before the written tasks. All directions throughout the packet are written in Spanish rather than English, positioning it for a Spanish-immersion or dual-language classroom.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognise and produce Spanish vocabulary for parts of a house and household objects.

  • Label a room diagram correctly by matching cut-out Spanish word cards to the pictured items.

  • Write original sentences in Spanish using target vocabulary about the home.

  • Describe an original 'dream house' in Spanish using room-name vocabulary.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the vocabulary flashcards first, then use one of the six oral games described in the teacher notes, such as Describe y adivina, before moving to the cut-and-paste worksheets.

  • Have students complete the house-part dice activity after the flashcards to reinforce vocabulary through partner sentence practice.

  • Save the 'dream house' page for last, since it asks students to apply the full vocabulary set independently in original writing.

Skills covered

  • Household vocabulary acquisition - students learn 16 room and part-of-house terms such as el ático, el sótano, and la cocina through labeled illustrations.

  • Cut-and-paste labeling - students cut word cards and glue them onto the matching part of a house diagram for named rooms including the bathroom, kitchen, and living room.

  • Sentence construction in Spanish - after labeling each room, students write original sentences using the vocabulary and colour the illustration.

  • Vocabulary review games - teacher directions describe six group games, such as Vaqueros and Lanza bolas, for practicing the vocabulary set orally.
