One of my students, who has a special interest in Día de los Muertos, was thrilled—they absolutely loved the virtual field trip. It sparked so much curiosity and led to great discussions about how close or far Mexico and other Latin American countries are. This resource is thoughtfully crafted, engaging, and a wonderful addition to my sessions.

  12. Amanda S. –

  16. Tanya H. –

    The Día de los Muertos Activities Day of the Dead Virtual Field Trip & Worksheets offer an engaging and meaningful way to explore the rich traditions of this cultural celebration. The virtual field trip brings the experience to life, while the worksheets deepen understanding with thoughtful activities. It’s a perfect blend of fun and learning for classrooms studying world cultures!

  18. Kendall K. –

    My students enjoyed this interactive resource to learn more about the Day of the Dead. It’s very easy to navigate, and is a fun way for them to explore the content!

  25. Joanna R. –

    I love the day of the dead celebrations and I loved teaching my students about it

  26. Emily A K. –

    Love this resource being in both languages! It gives students the opportunity to understand. The freedom of exploring on their own gives me a mini break from trying to direct the entire class which I really appreciate as a busy and sometimes overwhelmed teacher. The fact that I only need to post the assignment and print a paper (basically no prep) is also a huge plus!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Woohoo! Those are all things I love about using virtual field trips, too! So glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback!

  27. Karen H. –

  32. Katherine Milositz –

    This was a fun resource to use for Dia de los Muertos! Students enjoyed getting to ‘travel’ and see the different artifacts. Thank you!

  46. Kaylyn M. –

    This was great! It gave the students a ton information and a way to explore independently. If you have shorter class periods, this will take more than a day. I had my students color the graphic organizer side and with that, it took most of my students about two in class work days to complete. Let me get caught up on some grading!

  47. Brenda Colon Smith –

    This was great for my level 1. The students were able to work at their own pace.

  48. The Spanish Resource Engine –

    My students enjoyed this activity. Thank you so much!

    Helpful resource! Great to use in my online classroom with some minor adjustments to fit our needs.

  52. Sra Hart –

    All of my students enjoy these interactive maps. I use them in Spanish at levels 3-5! They’re not too difficult for my 3s when they work in pairs and not so easy for my 5s that it wastes their time!

  53. Cynthia F –

    Students really enjoy these cultural field trips!

  54. La sala de Profe Harrison –

    The students loved taking a field trip to explore Day of the Dead in Spanish speaking countries!

  55. PAULA CLEMENTE –

    Interactive maps is a great way to bring culture to the room. It is an activity you can use at the beginning of a topic to introduce something or at the end as a review. Great for in person or online or great for when you need a sub!

  56. Sara D. –

    I had to be out and this was the perfect activity to leave with the sub! The students were engaged and excited!

  57. Katie Rohde –

    My 6th grade students loved this resource! It was really well done!

  58. hazey P. –

    There nothing but great things to say about this bundle. Super easy to use and your students will be super engaged

  59. Lisa S. –

    Used this as a Spanish 1 introduction to Day of the Dead, the accompanying worksheets are fine

  60. Damaris Diaz –

    Used it for sub plans and I was extremely satisfied.

  61. Hannah N. –

    My students loved this! It made the holiday about more than just a picture to color or a dry video to watch.

  62. C B. –

    I certainly enjoy using in-class virtual tour field trips. This resource was perfect for my class. It was a great way for students to learn about Día de Los Muertos in an interactive way. So much fun!

  66. Ashley Brown –

    This is such a great technology driven way to research Dia de los Muertos!

  67. Ciana P. –

    I used this as emergency sub plans when I got a migraine. It was a great activity for my students and I didn’t have to do any prep besides post the link on Google Classroom.

  68. Lisa B. –

    Great resource! I had to use it one day for a sub plan. It was easy to assign to students and let them do some research on Día de los Muertos on their own. ¡Mil gracias!

  69. Salvada por la Campana –

    I was out unexpectedly and because I had used a virtual field trip before, my students knew exactly what to do. I really enjoyed that I was able to have them still learning about Day of the Dead even though I couldn’t be there to teach it to them directly. Awesome, as always!

  70. Melissa S. –

    My students really enjoyed this activity. We initially checked it out as a whole group, and then they branched off with partners and continued. It was a great addition to our Dia de los Muertos activities!

  71. Leila P. –

    My students said completing their virtual field trip was an adventure. They loved the vibrant pictures, videos, and [short] fact-finding readings! Thank you for this highly-engaging and high-quality resource!

  72. Sarah Gaffney –

    Easy set up for teacher and easy to navigate by students!

  73. Enlightened Estudiantes –

    Gracias! : )

  74. Stephanie Kelley –

    During school closure I used this to help with cultural learning. The Google Maps were a little difficult for the students to use, but when I used it in class it was fantastic!

  75. Cherin G. –

    Another great resource, thank you!

  76. Christine G. –

    I really enjoyed using this activity with my students last year! The map is so interactive and helped my students to better understand the culture and celebration of Dia de los Muertos!

  77. Holly D. –

    Great activity to preview information about Day of the Dead. I used this with my Spanish 1 classes. Students enjoyed learning independently.

  78. Lora T. –

    Really good thorough activity for students.

  79. Teacher Hart –

    We love virtual field trips and to add one to show cultural aspects of a holiday is great!

  80. ANA SANCHEZ HERNANDEZ –

    Amazing resource! Students loved to have the experience of a “Field Trip”

  81. Haley H. –

    I used this for a sub activity and it was great! Super easy to understand and the kids were able to stay engaged despite my absence. Thanks!

  82. Melissa G. –

    Great Resource! Thank you!

  83. Sienna W. –

    Students were able to learn about dia de los muertos in a fun way

  85. Eimy Jimenez –

    Very well crafted resource. Thank you.

    Very easy to use and so much information! Loved It!

  87. Maestra Grimaldi –

    Love it! Fun to use!

  88. Catherine W. –

    This was great! I was out sick and assigned this to all my levels.

  89. Lacey R. –

    My students loved the map with the added photos and videos! thanks!

  90. Katie Nader –

    Love this

  91. argelia B. –

    Very nice!

  92. Maestra Membreno –

    Amazing resource but the level was too high for my elementary kids. I may be able to try with 5th grade, but lots of clicking and reading where I foresee lots of technical questions rather than engagement in learning. But for older kids, such a great resource!

  93. Steven M. –

    I love everything you do! So do my students!

  94. Vanessa Drackett –

    These map activities are a big hit with my students. They are interesting and comprehensible.

  95. Heather B. –

    Great resources.

  96. Erica A. –

    I used this resource in combination with a virtual museum tour to create an engaging unit about Dia de los Muertos. The interactive nature of this activity was easy and the information was interesting. Thank you for putting it together! I will definitely be using it again.

  97. Senora Novales –

    This saved me when trying to prep for remote learning! Thank you 🙂

  98. Madison W. –

    My students had trouble with the maps but I was able to use the graphic organizer with another resource I already had. With some tweaking and more prep for my students on my end, I think it could be more successful.

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Hey! I’d love to hear more about what sorts of issues they ran into – were they not clear on clicking the markers to pull up the info? Was it navigating the map? You can always shoot me an email at the address in your PDF if there’s anything I can do to support you!

  99. Designed For Journalism –

    I loved the interactive map to give to students and also project on my whiteboard. The students found the worksheet easy to complete as we moved around the map learning different aspects of Día de Los Muertos. I like how they map also included the way the holiday is celebrated in countries other than Mexico, highlighting their own traditions.

  100. Escuela Virtual –

    Amazing resource.

  101. Alondra G. –

    Me encanta los mapas interactivos, gracias porque es un material interesante y diferente para mis estudiantes. Les encantó.

  102. Exhale Spanish –

    I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’d never assigned work using Google Maps. This was an interesting concept, but I was expecting a little more for the price. I assigned this as an option out of several for students. No one chose this option… I’ll try again next year as a mandatory assignment to see how it goes. It’s a cool resource to have in my arsenal, but I would love to see a little more value added to the product.

  103. A Tail of 2 languages –

    EXCELLENT VISUALS! My students could actually see the places that celebrated this holiday and how different items mean to the culture.

  104. Bessie Wall –

    I enjoyed having this resource for Día de los Muertos. Since my students use Google Docs, I could not make part of it work, the 2nd page. I had to make a more boring version of it 🙂

  105. Christina Cantrell –

    well made! Thank you!

  106. Shin’s Specials –

    Great resource! Thanks!

  107. Helena W. –

    A great resource to keep students engaged and on the topic of research. Gracias

    Was a great resource to use with my hybrid classes this fall! I would recommend!

  109. Sarah W. –

    This was an awesome resource students really enjoyed working through independently!

  110. MaestraHowe –

    Students really liked using Google Maps because it was something different and exciting to use. They loved seeing all of the places and pictures. Very engaging.

  111. El Mundo Mixon –

    Super useful and visually pleasing! The students enjoyed exploring the map! They actually asked if they would ever be able to make one:) Gracias!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Oh, that is awesome!! I actually do have a research project that is set up for students to make their own maps, focusing on a different countries. Sounds like it might be a great option for your students! Thanks for sharing your feedback with me!

  112. Illiana A. –

    This was a great way to expose students to additional Day of the Dead activities. They loved the interactive aspect of it. Thank you!

  113. Melanie J. –

    I assigned this to my students when the middle school was in quarantine. It was something they could do without having to be connected or needing my help, but it was still educational and engaging.

  114. Lisa S. –

    Great resource!

  115. Sarah G. –

    I really enjoy using these interactive maps as enrichment activities surrounding holidays. My students like them too.

  116. Techy D –

    I gave a presentation to 3rd grade students about day of the dead and I cannot be happier with the resourced provided. I was able to use many of the slides which were all visually attractive and relevant. Thank you for such a great resource

  117. Brenda K. –

    I was absent when my students accessed this assignment. Unfortunately they don’t read directions and many didn’t use the map. I was so disappointed. However, the ones who used the map got a lot out of the information. I liked the information because it was different than the usual day of the dead information I share. Thank you for a valuable resource. Next time I will leave better directions for my sub.

  118. Darlene O. –

    great resource

  119. Pixel Pioneers –

    Love these types of activities. the students stay engaged and the material is very nice

  120. Maria E –

    Easy to follow. Thanks.

  121. Annie W. –

    My students loved this! Thank you for creating such an easy activity for me to use and for them to learn from!

  122. Fun with Spanish –

    My students love the interactive maps and so do I! Perfect for hybrid and/or distance learning days and it can also be used in class. And I could also use this as an emergency sub plan in October/early November. Thank you!

  123. Kelly Horn –

    Great resource!

  124. Erin H. –

    very interactive and informative

  125. Margaret Donghia –

  126. She Teaches 5th –

    My students loved this activity

  127. Katherine H. –

    I wanted to have my students do an interactive activity to help give them an introduction to Día de Muertos! This activity worked great for both my in-class students and my distance learners.

  128. Jen D. –

    Very easy to use and such a great resource!

  129. Sandra C. –

    I currently teach hybrid, with half of our class on Zoom and half in the room with me. This was a great way to take everyone outside of the classroom on an expedition. Students truly enjoyed learning about this celebration and how the practices vary in different countries. The infographic they filled out was super clear and they knew exactly what to do.

  130. Erin C. –

    Fabulous resource!

  131. Sarah B. –

    This is a great resource. Everything is digital so students at home can use the links for the readings and videos and it can also be done in class with a group of students. My students really enjoyed the videos and it was great to have such variety in one source.

  132. Tapanga Burgess –

    Great cultural resource! My students were able to learn a lot of new information, and I loved that the digital option for the graphic organizer was available.

  133. La Maestra Mágica –

    Gracias! Fabulous resource!

  134. Maria Teresa C. –

    Students enjoy using this material. Great product

  135. Natalia F. –

    Thank you! I was able to use the resource to turn it into a digital activity for my students.

  136. SraEckmanSpanish –

    My students were definitely engaged with this activity. It was a fun change of pace from normal worksheets and webquests. I wish there was a little more clear labels on the markers so students knew what they were looking for (ex. when it asks for symbols on the worksheet they struggled to know which ones to put). They also were 7th graders with essentially no background knowledge.

  137. Hannah Yonce –

    This was so interesting! My upper level Spanish students found this to be a fun and different way to learn about this holiday.

  138. Marisa C. –

    A great way to learn about DDLM

  139. Jessica Wilson — Pre-Educator Resources –

    I am so incredibly happy I purchased this! It made my intro unit to Dia de los Muertos with my hybrid and virtual students seamless! We used it in class (on laptops) and via Zoom with virtual students. This resources is WONDERFUL!

  140. Samantha V. –

    This is a well thought-out and complete digital activity. The Interactive map was a big hit.

  141. Alissa D. –

    I was quarantined and was not able to be with my students. This resource worked great to help them learn about Dia de los Muertos!

  142. Linda S. –

    Good resource. Gracias.

  143. maria lozano –

    Really loved this, it was the first time that I have done an activity with google maps and I believe that my students also enjoyed it. The only thing was that for them to complete the worksheets I had to redo them because of the virtual platform that we are using; it would have been helpful if they were on word or google docs

  144. Maria E B. –

    Awesome! Love these interactive maps! Great way to get students learning about culture!

  145. Alissa S. –

    Able to use synchronously with virtual and traditional students….super easy

  146. Anne R. –

    Gracias.

  147. Dawn W. –

    Excellent resource. Used as a sub lesson and students were engaged and found it easy to follow.

  148. Spanishsalsa –

    I LOVE the map! I didn’t know this google map resource even existed! It was perfect for my hybrid classes because home and in-school students could complete it at the same time.

  149. Lauren Lives Life –

    My students loved learning about the Day of the Dead. They enjoyed using the map to complete the worksheets.

  150. Carolyn K. –

    I used this resource for both the kids I have in class and the kids that are distance learning. I thought it was great!

  151. Jeanette A. –

    Great!

  152. Creative Language Acquisition –

    Perfect.

  153. DEIRDRE K. –

    I tested this out with some student volunteers for next year’s Day of the Dead and they really enjoyed it. It’s a nice change from everything else I already have and have used.

  154. Brooke I. –

    Great! Thanks!

  155. Kayla A. –

    My school is 1 to 1 and this was a perfect activity, especially when you need to give your voice a break.
