HOW DOES IT WORK?

Students will read the question on their recording sheet. They will then search for the station card where the answer can be found. They will need to visit each station card multiple times as they look for the answers to the questions.

The answers on each station card include a symbol. Use the decoder sheet to determine which LETTER their answer choice indicates. For example, if they determine that the answer for Question 3 is B, write B in the box labeled Q3 on their recording sheet. They will record the station card #s where they find the answer AND 8 letters in the boxes.

Finally, students will unscramble the 8 letters they’ve decoded to solve a final, mystery word in Spanish!
