Hispanic Heritage Month Activities for Stations
Gallery walks are a great way to get students up, moving, and thinking in the target language! I love this set because it is perfect for the beginning of the year! It’s all about famous people of Hispanic heritage written in comprehensible language. Each reading is a basic introduction and personal description of each person!
These QR code matching puzzles are another great station activity! Students read the descriptions written in English and match to the person described. To check to see if they are correct, they scan the code with a device that can read QR codes (iPod Touch, iPad, tablet, or laptop/desktop with a camera). Perfect for independent station work!
Need another option for your students? This worksheet set from Mrs. Cabello Spanish Class is great to introduce remarkable leaders and personalities from the Latino culture.
