Description

This activity offers you a great opportunity to combine Spanish skills with a real-life situation – exploring the center of Oaxaca, Mexico! Students read and follow directions, using an interactive Google Map to find their way around the city. Students will view an interactive Google Map of Oaxaca with marked locations such as mercados, Santo Domingo, el Zócalo, a few museos, and more! Students receive a starting place on the map, scan the QR code, then follow the directions to the next place on the map. Students will “walk” through the city, virtually, via the interactive Google Map, eventually looping back to their starting place! The duration will depend on how you choose to have your students complete the activity- my 4th quarter Spanish I students worked in pairs and completed the whole loop in about 40 minutes. Individual students would take much longer. A great extension would be to have students write their own directions from place to place on the map! Students concentrate on interpreting the directions in Spanish, reading the street names, and being exposed to actual places in the center of Oaxaca, Mexico.

*There is a version included where students do not have to scan a code to get the set of directions – the directions are simply written out on the half sheets.

  1. Alejandra G. –

    Our current unit is La Ciudad, I loved using this activity with my class. It gives them something different then what they are used to.

  2. Marcela Casco –

    The map is really really hard to read. The letters are white on white background and are impossible to see if you zoom in but don’t show up at all if you zoom out. I don’t know if that is anything that you have control over. Perhaps creatin the map as a PDF would be a great addition OR having an answer key. This was very frustraiting for me and for my students.

    Thank you

  3. Bilingual Crew –

    This was a good interactive activity! It can be a little challenging but it was perfect for my upper level classes.

  4. Jessie D. –

    The digital version would not work for my students. We brainstormed a ton of different ideas, but none worked. The creator is very helpful in troubleshooting. The paper version worked fine, however.

  5. Jennifer F. –

    Excellent activity to practice how to give directions in a city! Can be used for small group work, task card work or even individual formative work. Muchas gracias por todo :).

  6. Amanda Draper –

    My students had a lot of fun doing this activity!

  7. Salvada por la Campana –

    This was confusing to use. Either I was in a hurry or just couldn’t figure it out but it wasn’t something I was actually able to use with my students, unfortunately.

  8. Joy’s Spanish Class –

    This activity needs to be updated to pull up a PDF of instructions that is readable from an iPhone camera. I could not use this product because it doesnt work with an iphone camera. Super disappointed! The ease of the QR code was the reason I bought it.

  9. Marisa Karll –

    A really awesome resource for students learning how to give/read directions in Spanish. It was definitely challenging for my students and it required some prepping beforehand (how to use Google Maps), but overall an engaging and authentic activity.

  10. Claudia Hidalgo –

    My students loved this interactive activity. And my Assistant Principal, who was just passing by, was amazed by how engaged my students were. Gracias!

  11. Laura C. –

    My students had a great time searching the maps and moving around the room. The QR codes are a fun way to do this type of activity. The only negative to this would be for those students that do not have access to phones or computers during class.

  12. La Maestra A –

    so much fun doing a virtual tour!!! kids enjoyed it so much, muchas gracias!

  13. Amanda S. –

    Some of my students had difficulty with this. I don’t know if it was their QR reader or the QR codes in general. I ended up modifying a little bit. But the overall concept is a good one.

  14. Lindsay P. –

    We had fun!

  15. SavannaArevalo –

    I really liked the concept but my students did find it a little too challenging. I noticed they felt overwhelmed at times. I suggest this resource for Spanish 3-4

  16. marisa R. –

    This was a fun and challenging activity for my students.

  17. Brittany M. –

    This is a great concept. My Spanish 2’s found it to be challenging but I think it was more of them not being super comfortable using maps. I will try this again in the future.

  18. Teach conmigo –

    Students thought this was great and engaging! They really got to know Oaxaca sites. There is one glitch with one set of directions, other than that catch – it was perfect!

  19. Cassidy R. –

    A great activity to practice directions with for my students!

  20. Nikol S. –

    This resource looks interesting but too complicated to follow.

  21. Ashley Brown –

    This made everything come together in an applicable way!

  22. Haydee M. –

    Excellent activity to review maps and directions in Spanish 2.

  23. Lisa F. –

    My students loved it.

  24. La Tienda de Justine –

    I loved how you incorporated technology and the real-world application the students got from this activity!

  25. Melissa Carlson –

    Great activity and concept but the map was difficult to navigate. Might be helpful to have a printed map available.

  26. Creative Language Acquisition –

    Perfect.

  27. Megan Rodolico –

    Engaging!

  28. Amber S. –

  33. Tammy T. –

    Super awesome interactive activity! This activity provided great practice and got my students up and moving around the room. Thanks!

  34. DARA R. –

    Amazing resource!!

  35. Stephanie M. –

    I think this resource is fantastic! Very fun, engaging way to help students explore culture. However, I made my own mistake of not reading the description very well and didn’t realize this is only in Spanish! I teach Spanish 1, so this would be a little difficult to do in my class. Overall, this is fantastic.

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Hi Stephanie! I do this activity with my Spanish Is! They can find it a bit tricky sometimes, but here are some things I do to help them be successful:

      1) Plan for it towards the very end of our city unit, so they’ve had more time with the vocabulary and structures.
      2) Work in pairs! This way they can talk through it together. I have tried small groups too, but I found pairs were better because they can share the screen more easily.

      I hope those things help! It’s something I look forward to using every year.

  36. Hope B. –

    Cant wait to use this!

  37. Cherin G. –

    Excellent activity for locations!

  38. Kristal R. –

    Fun way to practice directions. The students were engaged the whole time.

  47. SJTeach –

    This activity is awesome! It gave a real world application to my giving directions unit. Thank you for creating a great resource!

  48. Kathleen M. –

    Great use of technology, but contains an error on the Zocalo scan–It should read Calle Miguel Hidalgo, not Miguel Cabrera.

  49. Senorita Creativa –

    My students had fun with this activity. Thank you!

  50. Meghan P. –

    This is a great resource to practice following directions in Spanish in a real city. I could not get the map to open for my students but it may be because my school blocks everything. It worked fine on my teacher computer.

  51. Super Spanish Resources –

    Such a fun resource! Love it!

  52. srasra –

    The directions were not clear and the QR codes didn’t work.

  53. Amy B W. –

    My students loved this! It is super easy to use and very authentic.

  54. senoritaspeaksspanish –

  57. Elizabeth B. –

    So much fun to see my students’ eyes light up and realize Spanish is a real life language! Thank you!

  58. Victoria K. –

    Great way for students to move around the classroom.

  59. Smiling in Secondary –

    This is one of those resources that I dream of making, and then never have time for. I LOVED everything about it. The directions were easy for students to follow, and they enjoyed exploring a real city instead of my old clip art maps. I had them work in groups of 3 to 4, and it was great to see them working together. ¡Gracias por el recurso excelente!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      This feedback makes me so happy!! Thank you so much!

  60. Adriana B. –

    I really liked this resource but some of the QR codes did not work properly.

  61. SraN –

    Great activity to get students moving and thinking critically with an authentic resource.

  62. Nuria B. –

    Excited to use this activity with my students!

  63. Lindsay G. –

    One of the streets was hard to find so they had to jump ahead a bit

  64. Jessica A. –

    Students were motivated and enjoyed the lesson. Thank you!

  65. Stephanie McInturf –

    I love the use of technology with this activity. My students were able to practice what they know and use a real map of a real city! Great activity!

  66. Sarah Gaffney –

    Gracias!

  67. The Happy S. –

    I loved this activity!! The students enjoyed it as well. Great way to incorporate technology, Spanish skills and real life situation!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      I am so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for your feedback!

  68. Live Love Spanish –

    Me encanta

  69. Christine R. –

    This activity was really fun for my students, and I liked that it was a real world, applicable task. My only complaint would be that the accents showed up as other symbol for most of my students (they were using Snapchat as a QR code reader). I’m not sure if this is their phones or if there is a way to fix this. The message was still clear.

  70. Melissa B. –

    gracias!

  71. Pastel Profe –

    This activity was awesome! My Spanish III students loved it. I really hope you make more resources like these!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      I’m so glad to hear that! I’m happy to take custom requests if you’d like to drop any in the Q&A section of my store 🙂

  72. Aleha N. –

    Very neat activity!

  73. La clase de Sra D –

    I was going to make something similar, but this was perfect and it saved me time!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      I’m SO glad to hear that I saved you time!! Thanks for your feedback!

  74. vlgillette –

    This was a fun way for students to get up and moving around to practice following directions! It took them about 20 minutes, which worked great for our class period. As an extension, I had students look up photos of each location and write a description of each place. Then they had to find one more interesting location in Oaxaca and write directions to that place for another group to follow. Thanks for integrating authentic places for students to learn about and utilize technology!

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Thank you so much for your feedback! I love those extension activities- what a great idea! Thanks for sharing 🙂
