| Title | Idea for Practicing La Casa |
| Body | Here is an idea for practicing language about houses, especially for younger children, contributed by a Nandu listserv user: I do an activity (my kids call it a game) called Donde esta Maria? I give each student a diagram of a house (nothing special, just a pentagon divided into rooms that I call the casa). They each get a little person shaped marker (Maria). They work in pairs. They have to put Maria somewhere in their house and not let their partner see where she is. We have Spanish folders, so I have them set their folder up to block their house paper. One person begins asking questions, they have 3 tries to guess where their partner put Maria. They ask "Esta en..." and name a room in the house. They other person says, Si or No. If they get it right in 3 guesses they get a point, if not their partner gets the point. I start out playing with me hiding Maria on my paper and they have to guess as a class ( I call on 3 different guessers). I make a big deal about how I'm going to cream them at this game and then let them beat me (which they love). Once they get how to play the game, they can play in pairs or in threes if you have an uneven number of students. Buffa, S. Re: [nandu] Activites for teaching La Casa in SPanish??
