Juegos para la Clase

I was definitely looking forward to this weeks assignment but when I started to do it, it was extremely time consuming and frustrating. Mostly because I teach an elective course... Spanish. Surpsrisingly, I struggled with finding ANYTHING relevant to my classroom. I even tried to shuffle my way around it.



First, I searched Spanish. Nothing.

Then, English. Nothing. (Rationale being that in order to understand a new language you have to understand your own.)

Music. Nothing worthwhile. (Rationale being that language and music are linked to the same area of the brain.)

Then Spain, Mexico, South America, Maps, Foreign, Language. NOTHING.

There was even hope when I found a game about Aliens speaking their own language but it wasn't.



So then I strayed from all the listed sites to find some games on my own. Not necesarily embedable but still worth while. I will link one of them below:



Cocina con Abuela (A cooking game that would be fun during that section of the text)

However, I must stick to the assignment and I found a fun alphabet game. There is no sound but what I found myself doing, was saying each letter out loud in Spanish before I allowed myself to click on the corresponding letter. It was a blast and gave me practice with my Spanish letter sounds. See the game from addictinggames.com below:

(I wanted to embed but there wasn't an embedable code and I tried using the html I know of to embed and it just popped up with an X.)

This may be a strectch but I think it is worth the alphabet practice.

If I had really bad taste... I could post the game about illegal immigrants from Mexico trying to out run the police.
