HOW DOES IT WORK?

Students choose a reading card to start at and may start at ANY card. They read the passage and look at the question at the bottom labeled “code word”. The code word for THAT card number will lead them to a different card. Students will NOT know where to find the answer so they will have to visit, skim, browse and revisit the clue cards and reading passages several times to find the answer and code word they are looking for. This is a great activity to have them read and re-read in Spanish!

You can hang the cards on the wall, in the hallway, scatter them on the floor, place them on desks, hide them or use as stations. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you!

Students can work in pairs (or individually) and race to complete 10 questions, secret words and final answer to the riddle. A friendly competition always increases engagement.

This is great way to talk about the life of Pope Francis – the first Pope from South America!
