Introduce students to the days of the week in Spanish through an engaging and interactive storytelling activity.
Begin the lesson by setting the scene. Dim the lights slightly and play a soft, upbeat Spanish song in the background to create an engaging atmosphere. As the music plays, walk around the classroom and greet students with a warm “¡Hola!” and ask:
"¿Qué es lo más emocionante que te ha pasado esta semana?"
("What is the most exciting thing that has happened to you this week?")
As the students share their experiences, write down key points from their answers on sticky notes or index cards. After a few students have shared, prompt the class with the following question:
"¿Qué día ocurrió eso?"
("What day did that happen?")
After the discussion, bring the focus back to the topic by saying:
"Las experiencias de esta semana nos recuerdan que cada día tiene su magia, ¡y en español, cada día tiene su nombre!"
("The experiences from this week remind us that every day has its magic, and in Spanish, each day has its name!")
Now, gather the students around the calendar. Pointing to each day, introduce the Spanish names for the days of the week:
Encourage the students to repeat each name after you, injecting energy and excitement into the pronunciation.
Wrap up the beginning of the lesson by stating:
"Today, we’ll explore these days in detail and learn how to incorporate them into our daily conversations! Let’s make this week unforgettable together!"
With enthusiasm and connection, you’re ready to transition into the main activities of the lesson focused on the days of the week in Spanish.
