"Hola, amigos! Today, we are going to learn about the vowels in Spanish. Who here knows what a vowel is? That's right! Vowels are special letters that help us form words. In Spanish, we have five vowels: A, E, I, O, U. Let’s take a look at these vowels together!"
(Show flashcards for each vowel, one at a time.)
"This is the letter A. Can you all say A? (wait for responses) Great job! Now, here’s the letter E. Let’s say E together! (wait for responses) Perfect! Next, we have I. Can you say I? (wait for responses) Wonderful! Now we have O. Let’s say O! (wait for responses) Last but not least, we have U. Can you all say U? (wait for responses) Fantastic! You’re all doing amazing!"
"Now, it's time to listen to how we pronounce these vowels in Spanish. I have a special recording that will help us. When you hear each vowel, I want you to repeat it after me, okay? Let’s get started!"
(Play the sound recording, pausing after each vowel for students to repeat.)
"Did you all hear that? Let’s go through them one more time: A, E, I, O, U. Very nice! You are sounding great!"
"Now we’re going to play a fun game! I have some picture cards here. Each card has a picture of something that starts with one of our vowels. Your job will be to match the picture card to the correct vowel card.
(Hand out picture cards to each student, ensuring they have a mix of the vowels. Show the vowel flashcards once again.)
"Okay, everyone, take a moment to look at your picture card. Which vowel does it start with? When you’re ready, come to me and match it with the proper vowel card! Let’s see who can do it the fastest!"
(Walk around the room, giving support and encouragement as students match the cards.)
"Wow, you all did an awesome job with the game! Now, I have some worksheets for you. On these worksheets, you will see pictures of objects that start with our vowels. Let’s color the pictures that start with A red, E blue, I yellow, O green, and U purple!
(Give out worksheets and crayons or markers.)
"Remember, if you need any help, just raise your hand and I’ll come to help you! Let’s get to work!"
(Provide assistance as necessary while students work on their worksheets.)
"Great job today, everyone! For your homework, I want you to think of three things that start with each vowel A, E, I, O, and U. You can draw a picture or write the words down. We won’t present this tomorrow; it’s just for your practice at home. Sound good?"
(Wait for student reactions.)
"Awesome! I can’t wait to see your work!"
"Before we finish up, let’s quickly recap what we learned today. We discovered the five vowels in Spanish: A, E, I, O, U. Can anyone tell me one of the vowels we learned? (Wait for responses) Fantastic!
"If you have any questions, please ask now! Remember to practice your vowels at home, and I’ll see you all tomorrow! Adiós, amigos!"
What are the five vowels in Spanish? List them out.
For each vowel (A, E, I, O, U), think of three words in Spanish that start with that vowel. Write them down.
Choose one of the words you wrote for each vowel. Draw a picture that represents that word.
Write the Spanish vowel you studied today next to the pictures you drew.
Listen to a Spanish song or watch a video in Spanish. Can you identify any vowels you hear? Write down the vowels you notice and the words they are in.
Practice writing each vowel five times. Make sure to say the vowel out loud each time you write it.
Choose one of the vowels and write a short sentence in Spanish using a word that starts with that vowel.
Share your homework with a family member or friend. Explain to them what you learned about Spanish vowels. What is their favorite vowel?
Create a simple flashcard for each vowel, including the vowel, a picture, and one word that starts with that vowel.
Reflect on today’s lesson: What was your favorite part about learning vowels in Spanish? Why?
