mazakaal Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 We're just finishing up Getting Started with Spanish with my 13yo, 8yo, and 7yo. The 13yo will be doing Visual Link Spanish I in the autumn, and the two younger kids will do La Clase Divertida. We've got about 8 weeks of break, and I don't want them to forget everything they've learned during that time. What fun things could I do with them to keep their vocabulary fresh. I don't want something that feels academic, and I don't have money to buy anything. I'll make flashcards, and I'm hoping to make some sort of game. Any ideas for a game or fun thing to help reinforce Spanish vocabulary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Watch movies in Spanish, either familiar ones (Disney allows a number of their movies to be watched in Spanish or French) or Spanish-language movies with English subtitles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testimony Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 watching videos and dvds are an excellent idea. Also, I got a CD from my library called Baby Speaks Spanish. This is my Summer Spanish curriculum. It is little Spanish nursery rhymes. It is for a little baby. However, the ideas are perfect in helping anyone whether you are a baby or an adult. I mean my children know how to say, "I play the violin" in Spanish. They actually play the violin. The thing I notice with nursery rhymes is there are words repeated. After a while, the children are saying this word or phrase and not realizing they have picked up Spanish. Repeating the CD over and over at bedtime helps too.
