SPANISH NUMBERS 0-10 WORD SEARCHES

ELEMENTARY SPANISH NUMBERS 0-10 Los números cero - diez: diez sopas de letras! My young beginner learners of Spanish really enjoy learning their vocab with word searches. In terms of pedagogy, they really are a great way of providing students with opportunities not only to embed their vocab, but also to engage with the written word and spelling in Spanish. They are really easy to differentiate, ensuring that students have a series of progressive challenges.

I differentiate in a range of ways. In this set, you'll see there are five Spanish to Spanish grids, with the Spanish words as prompts. Students then find them in Spanish in the grid. A great way of really consolidating vocab is to get students to complete the word list on the grid sheet too. There are also five English to Spanish grids. With these, the prompt words are in English, so students have to know the correct Spanish word in order to find it in the grid. There's a word list to complete on these too. As the challenge increases, the words appear in an increasing number of different directions, and students can identify which directions they're looking for by referring to the arrow key on each grid.

My students always like to have answer keys, and I really find these an integral and essential element of the learning activity. They provide students with an additional opportunity to engage with language, and they genuinely enjoy 'correcting' their own and particularly each others' work - they're a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing!

The word searches are in landscape format, as I’ve found this to be the best format for beginner language learners - language is very clear and accessible. This kind of activity is really versatile too - I use as starters, refreshers, plenaries or fun-time fillers at any time during the school year, as well as when I'm focusing on Numbers 0-10 in Spanish.
