About this resource

Here's a free Halloween activity for your Spanish students to learn Spanish colours and spooky Spanish vocabulary! First, watch these two YouTube videos:

- Colours in Spanish for Kids (Mi Camino Spanish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgYIZ0mY9Z4&t=31s
- ¡No Tengo Miedo! (Mi Camino Spanish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5g0HQ2xevM
Then, colour the crayons the correct colour as written in Spanish, and then colour the picture using the instructions on the next page.

There is a word search at the end for even more Halloween fun!

¡Feliz Halloween!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Recognize and apply ten Spanish colour words, such as amarillo, verde, and anaranjado, by colouring 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 colouring and word-search activities.

Teaching tips

Play both linked videos before handing out the printable pages, since the colouring instructions and word-search vocabulary both assume students have already heard the words.
Have students colour the loose crayon outlines on page 1 before the haunted-house scene, since it functions as a quick colour-word check before the larger picture.
Use the word search as a wrap-up once the colouring page is finished, since it reuses several of the same vocabulary words in written form.

Skills covered

Colour-word recognition — students match ten Spanish colour 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 colouring page and word search both assume that vocabulary has already been introduced.
