Lesson Outline

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

Begin the lesson by engaging students with a brief discussion on introductions. Ask questions like:

• "How do you introduce yourself in English?"
• "What do you think is important to include when introducing yourself?"

Then, introduce the vocabulary related to greetings and introductions in Spanish:

• Hola – Hello
• Me llamo – My name is
• ¿Cómo te llamas? – What is your name?
• Encantado/a – Nice to meet you

2. Vocabulary Teaching (10 minutes)

Write the vocabulary on the board. Pronounce each word and phrase while students repeat after you to practise pronunciation. Discuss the meanings of each phrase and encourage students to ask questions. Make a point of highlighting any cultural nuances associated with greetings in Spanish-speaking countries.

3. Treasure Hunt Preparation (5 minutes)

Explain the concept of the treasure hunt. Inform students that they will use the vocabulary learned to find clues hidden around the classroom. Each clue will require them to identify a vocabulary word or phrase and translate it to English to uncover the next clue's location.

4. Treasure Hunt Activity (10 minutes)

• Divide students into small groups (3–4 students each).
• Distribute the first clue to each group.
• As students find each clue, they must work together to translate the Spanish phrases into English, allowing them to advance to the next location.
• Clue 1 example: "Hola, ¿cómo te llamas?" → "Hello, what is your name?" (This indicates where the next clue is located.)

5. Conclusion (5 minutes)

Once all groups have finished the treasure hunt and reached the final location, gather the students together. Discuss what they learned about the vocabulary and how to introduce themselves in Spanish. Encourage them to share their favourite phrases from the activity.

---

Assessment

• Informal assessment during the treasure hunt through observation of group interactions and usage of vocabulary.
• Encourage students to write a brief self-introduction in Spanish as a follow-up activity for homework.

---

Extensions

• For further practice, students can create a dialogue with their partner using the vocabulary learned.
• Introduce additional phrases related to introductions, such as asking about someone’s interests or hobbies.

---

This lesson plan aims to provide students with not only the necessary vocabulary but also the engagement and teamwork to make learning Spanish introductions enjoyable and memorable.
