Today, we will learn how to introduce ourselves in Spanish using simple phrases and vocabulary.
The Entrance: Begin by wearing the bright hat as you enter the classroom. Let the students see the hat first. As you walk in, greet them with a cheerful, "¡Hola, amigos!" (Hello, friends!).
The Magic Hat Story: Gather the students in a circle and sit down with them, still wearing the hat. Say, "This is my magic hat, and today it will help us learn how to introduce ourselves in Spanish!"
The Flow: Explain that each time someone wears the magic hat, they will have a chance to introduce themselves using Spanish phrases. For example:
Demonstration: Start by looking into the mirror and making a funny face. Then, introduce yourself to them using the phrases mentioned. Let them see how much fun it is to say it in Spanish!
Class Participation: Pass the hat around the circle, and one by one, invite students to wear it and introduce themselves using the Spanish phrases. Encourage them to get creative—perhaps even include their favourite colour or pet's name!
End with a Cheer: After everyone has had a turn, finish the activity by saying together, "¡Mucho gusto!" (Nice to meet you!) and give a big round of applause for everyone!
This engaging introduction not only captures the students' attention but also builds their confidence in using Spanish right from the start. They'll not only learn new words but also enjoy a magic moment of sharing in the classroom!
Keep the energy light-hearted and fun to create a positive atmosphere that encourages participation and enthusiasm for learning Spanish.
