Pictotraductor is a website that converts Spanish sentences into a visual representation of most of the words. This could be helpful when asking students to recall particular sentences or the elements of a story.

Rebus-o-matic similarly converts French sentences into rebuses. These are different from the visual representations at the Pictotraductor site; many words use a "sound-alike" image plus additional letters and numbers to complete the meaning. They are a form of puzzle rather than an actual visual representation of the sentence.

Both sites could be used to create puzzles that serve as a nice warmup or sponge activity when students enter the classroom; a nice extension activity would be to ask students to create their own puzzles.
