Introduction to the Lesson

¡Hola, amigos! 👋 Today, we're going to have so much fun learning Spanish! To kick off our lesson, let’s start with a special activity that will help us use our imaginations and learn new words at the same time.

Activity: "Spanish Mystery Box" 🎁

What You Will Need:

• A small box or bag (anything you can hide items in)
• 5 everyday objects (like a toy, a book, a fruit, etc.)
• A blindfold (optional)

Steps to Follow:

1. Prepare the Mystery Box: Before class, fill the box with 5 common objects that your students will recognize. Examples could be a ball ("bola"), a book ("libro"), an apple ("manzana"), a cup ("taza"), and a pencil ("lápiz").

2. Introduce the Activity: Gather the students in a circle and show them the Mystery Box. Explain that you have some special objects inside that they need to guess.

3. Guessing Game: One by one, have each student reach into the box without looking (or while blindfolded) and pick out an object.

   • When they pull out the object, they must say the name of the object in English.
   • Then, help them to learn the Spanish word by saying it together. For example: "This is a ball! In Spanish, it is 'bola'. Let's say it: 'bola'!"

4. Repeat and Reinforce: Continue until all objects have been revealed. Encourage students to remember the Spanish words by repeating and using them in sentences, such as “I like the bola!”

Conclusion:

To wrap up the activity, have each student share their favorite object from the Mystery Box and its Spanish name. This not only reinforces their learning but also makes them feel proud to participate.

Now that we've gotten our minds warmed up with some fun, let’s dive into more exciting Spanish words and activities together! 🎉
