Description
Help your students talk about their family in Spanish class!
This printable mini book has a LOT of flexibility and options included, and that is done purposefully. Everyone’s family is different, and not all students are comfortable sharing about their own families. I’ve included options for students to share about their whole family, highlight a specific family member, or just create a mini book about them without any sentence prompts at all!
❁ Please click here to see a bundle of family resources for Spanish class! ❁
Included:
- Create a book about their family
- A version without the sentence prompts
- A version with “Se llama..” sentence prompt pages
- A version with “Se llama..” & “Tiene … años” sentence prompt pages
- A version with “Se llama..”, “Tiene … años”, and “Es..” sentence prompt pages
- Create a book to highlight one family member (this could be great for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day!)
-Madre
-Padre
-Hermano
-Hermana
-Blank, for them to choose a different family member! - Underneath the sentences, there is space for students to illustrate or draw pictures of their family members.
- A link to a YouTube video tutorial of how to fold the mini books
Materials needed:
- Printed pages – either choose the option you want for your students or print a variety and let them choose
- A pair of scissors
You could even use this as an assessment at the end of your family unit!

I like the concept, but I do not want to spend more time folding or teaching how to fold the book properly than writing in the book.

This resource allowed for a great enrichment piece to my family curriculum. I especially appreciated the video on how to fold and cut the book! Thank you!
Gail G. –
Any opportunity to get students drawing and writing vocab is perfect. I have a bit of a needy group, so I folded the books ahead of time, witch was quicker than I expected. I appreciated learning a bit about their families that I didn’t know, as they chose to describe different members and things they like to do.
Jeanine N. –
Excellent

It was not very user friendly to put together. My test students really struggled putting this together so I didn’t use it in class.
