TitleBeginning of School Year Activity Idea
Body
Here is an idea for a beginning of the year activity for Spanish 3 students submitted by an FLTEACH user:

I hung large sheets of paper around the room with the letter on them. I gave each student a marker and divided students into equal groups and sent them to a letter. I told them to think of as many words as they could that start with that letter. After 4 minutes I had them move to the next letter as a group. If needed I would give hints such as - think of animals, days of weeks, actions, family members, descriptions. I moved students around until they all had opportunity to work on the letters that I picked for that class.

Next I had student write their names, and find words to describe themselves, using preferably the first letter. For example, for Elizabeth: Estudiante, Leal, Interesante, Zebra, Algebra, Beisbol, EnergĂ­a, Tejana, Hoteles

Then the students introduce themselves, explaining who they are with the words - Yo soy un estudiante. Soy leal a mis amigos y soy interestante. Me gustan las zebras y mi clase favorita es el algebra. Me encanta el beisbol. Siempre tengo mucha energia. Soy de Texas, pues soy tejana. Viajo mucho con mi familia y nos quedamos en hoteles en mas de 10 paises.
