Description
These simple activities are a great print and go option to have students practice saying the date while they reinforce talking about birthdays!
These characters are an especially great option if your students already know each other so well they don’t actually have to ask each other when their birthdays are – or if you’ve already done practice activities with their real birthdays and the skill needs more reinforcement!
INCLUDED PAGES
- 18 Character cards with the dates abbreviated
- 18 Character cards with the dates written out in Spanish
- Reading/Writing Activity – Students read the cards and record birthdays, then write using scaffolded sentences
- Speaking Activity – In pairs or small groups, students draw a card and take turns exchanging information according to the card they’ve drawn. You can have them record the info, or just practice!
- Listening Activity – There are several versions of the listening to choose from:
- 3 separate, mini practices (A, B, and C)
- A listening file with all 18 characters at once
- You can also choose if you would like students to listen and record the names, or just focus on the birthdays
- The listening files are not recorded by native speakers.
- Answer Keys
Several easy to use options to reinforce months and saying the date!

My Spanish 2 students needed a review of the correct way to say the date, and I needed something beyond their personal birthday. Easy to prepare and use! Nice that it includes listening too!

It’s tricky to practice birthdays in Spanish class because once you say yours, you don’t know what to say! This was a great way to get the repetition needed for months, days and the sentence frames.

This was perfect. Such a simple concept, but a variety of tasks. I actually used the listening after my Entrance ticket each day. Wonderful, thank you.

I used this as the reading section of a test on dates. It was great!

What a great resource! After students learned the date format and how to tell the date, birthdays included, this activity was used to reinforce their learning. I’ll be using this again next year.

My textbook does not provide enough activities in order to reinforce vocabulary and grammar concepts. This was a perfect activity to supplement the textbook.
