Title: Closing Routines in Elementary Spanish Classrooms
Body:
From https://funforspanishteachers.com
Carolina Gómez writes, "Closing routines are as important as opening routines in any class. In fact, they’re not just relevant to how they end the class with you, but they also set the tone for whatever comes next in the schedule. Even if you are the last class your students have in the day, you really want to make sure they know what to expect and how to close out each day with you." Read her full blog post for a variety of closing routines, including some links to YouTube videos of closing songs: https://funforspanishteachers.com/2019/04/ideas-for-closing-routines-elementary-spanish/

Title: Vocabulary Game: Screaming Ninjas
Body:
This very active game practices three words at a time. The class agrees on a main action to accompany a verb, plus a supporting action that the two people on each side of the main actor perform. The teacher says a word and chooses a student (plus a helper on each side) to perform the action associated with it. This may sound complicated, but the game is simple, and the blog post includes videos showing how it looks: https://senorachase.com/2019/05/02/screaming-ninjas-a-really-fun-vocabulary-game/
