Bring Possessive Adjectives Spanish to Life in Your Classroom

Teaching grammar doesn’t have to feel dry or mechanical, especially when it comes to possessive adjectives Spanish. These are phrases your students will use constantly, so let’s make them stick in a way that’s both fun and practical.

One of my favorite activities? A classroom “show and tell” using students’ backpacks. Ask them to pull out a few random items, then describe them using possessive adjectives. “Mi cuaderno,” “su botella de agua,” “nuestra tarea.” It’s low prep, personal, and honestly pretty entertaining to see what they’ve got in there.

You can also make it visual. Grab some magazine cutouts or use photos of families and friend groups. Have students build short sentences like “Su hermana se llama Marta” or “Nuestros abuelos viven en Chicago.” This gives them a chance to hear and see the adjectives in action, instead of only filling in blanks on a worksheet.

​Types of Possessive Adjectives

Short Form

• mi
• tu
• su
• nuestro/a
• vuestro/a
• su

Long Form

• mío/a
• tuyo/a
• suyo/a
• nuestro/a
• vuestro/a
• suyo/a

Correct Use of Possessive Adjectives

When choosing the correct possessive adjective, students will select the singular or plural form, as well as the masculine or feminine version. It’s a little different from English grammar! If you are introducing possessive adjectives Spanish rules for the first time, check out the images above as a reference guide. You could also print them for your students to use as a reference sheet during practice. You’ll notice I’ve added a small Spanish flag on the vosotros form. I do that because I like to show students the possessive adjectives Spanish variation with vosotros so they have at least seen it, even though I remind them that Latin America does not typically use those forms.

Independent Work

​Task Cards

Task Cards are a great option for independent work. You hang them around the room and students move from card to card to complete their answer sheet. Then, you can go over the correct answers as a whole class or grade them individually. These possessive adjective task card worksheets include:

• write in the missing Spanish possessive adjectives
• complete the phrase with the correct possessive adjective
• fill in the blank sentences

There are also blank questions cards so you can add more practice for your students!

Boom Cards

Boom Cards are like digital versions of task cards! They work like an interactive quiz game where students answer the questions and get immediate feedback on the correct answers. This interactive digital resource includes:

• fill in the chart with the missing Spanish possessive adjectives
• fill in the blank with the correct possessive adjective
• identify the correct possessive adjective, then fill in the blank
• unscramble the sentence
• write the plural form of the given phrase
• write the singular form of the given phrase
• choose the appropriate possessive adjective according to the sentence
• write a sentence using a possessive adjective, based on the provided information

These make great extra practice or a fast finisher activity for your lesson plans!

Video Lesson Ideas

If you’re looking for a great video lesson, you’ll love this free resource on Youtube! Señor Jordan makes excellent videos with a great explanation for various grammar topics. Here are his videos on Spanish possessive adjectives:

• Learn Spanish – Possessive adjectives (part 1)
• Spanish Lesson – Possessives (part 2); nuestro, su
• Stressed Possessive Adjectives Explanation (intermediate Spanish)
• Possessive Pronouns – Practice #1 (intermediate Spanish)
• Stressed Possessive Adjectives Practice #2 (intermediate Spanish)
• Possessive Pronouns – Practice #3 (intermediate Spanish)

I like using the practice activity video lesson options as a warm up or wrap up at the end of class. Sometimes it’s just nice for students to hear from someone other than their own Spanish teacher! You can also use these videos with Edpuzzle for a sub plan. 

Creative Practice That Feels Natural

If you’ve already introduced the basics and students are ready for more, set up a mini writing station. Have them write a few sentences about their real families or even their dream pets using Spanish possessive adjectives. Something like “Mi gato ideal se llama Nacho y duerme en su cama” turns into a surprisingly fun creative writing activity.

You could also do a little peer practice. Partner students up, and let them take turns describing each other’s drawings or belongings. These kinds of low-pressure, talk-it-out moments help reinforce grammar without the stress of a quiz or worksheet.

When students see how often they use possessive adjectives Spanish to talk about the people and things they care about, they connect with the language faster, and with way more confidence.

Los Adjetivos Posesivos Games

Corre en Círculos

This is one of my favorite Spanish conjugation games! It’s such a great review game to get your students up and moving around the room as they play this scavenger hunt style game. Students read the prompt on the bottom of the page, record their answer on a piece of paper, then move around the room to find the correct answer on the next sheet on the wall and complete the next prompt until they finish the circle.

Scrambled Sentences

One of the most challenging pieces of Spanish grammar is getting the different words in the correct order. Scrambled sentences are a great way to get your students thinking and talking about the language collaboratively!

Groups or partners work together to reassemble the scrambled sentence while focusing on the targeted structures. It’s a great way to switch things up from your typical possessive adjectives Spanish worksheets, giving students a chance to use their language skills in a hands-on, collaborative review.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Print and cut apart the sentences. You can use the pre scrambled sheets and have your Spanish students cut them out, too!
2. Make copies of the student answer sheet. Each student should have one
3. Split students into pairs
4. Students get one sentence at a time and work to put it in order. 
5. When they think they have it, they raise their hand for you to check, or you can post the correct answers on the board or up at your desk for them to double check their own work
6. Students record the correct answers on their answer sheet in Spanish and in English
7. Students grab the following sentence and repeat until they’ve completed all 10

If your students are struggling with word order, this is the right resource to practice!
