I know many of us plan units around a topic, theme, or studying a particular country so today I wanted to share with you a few resources to teach about Nicaragua in your classroom! Just a quick note, there are so many amazing options out there, I tried to gather as many as I could, but if there’s something I’m missing, please feel free to drop a comment to help other teachers as they are planning!

Books and Readers Based in Nicaragua
I found these recommended in a Facebook group for Spanish teachers. It’s always a good idea to preview a book before adding it to your library with your specific classroom and learners in mind!
- Cultura en el mundo hispanohablante (A2-B1): nueva edición
- Como vuela la pelota
- Pintando con las manos
Websites and Video Resources to Teach about Nicaragua
As always, I’d recommend checking these before showing them to your students. Just because it’s a good fit for one classroom doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit everywhere! I’ve also tried to list where they can be found now, but we know the internet is always changing on us, so hopefully if they’re not on that host any longer it might be found through a quick Google!
