1 - Your Favourite Room ~5 mins
Which room do you spend most time in at home? Think for a moment, then be ready to say why in English.
Today we go further than naming rooms. You will say what you do in each one, in Spanish.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight rooms of the house in Spanish
- Say what you do in a room in a short sentence
- Match each Spanish room name to its English meaning
2 - Eight Rooms on the Cards ~10 mins
English on the front, Spanish on the back. Say the full Spanish aloud, article included, before you flip. Listen carefully to the sounds and stress on each card.
Pattern to notice: room + what you do there
En la cocina, cocino. (In the kitchen, I cook.) · En el dormitorio, duermo. (In the bedroom, I sleep.) · En el baño, me lavo. (In the bathroom, I wash.)
3 - Label the House ~10 mins
A cutaway house is waiting on the board. Look at each room, then click the correct Spanish label. Say the word quietly as you place it.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
Open your copy and write three sentences. Each one names a room and one thing you do there.
Keep the article with every room name, and mind the accents on salón, baño and jardín.
Pattern: En + room + action
En el salón, veo la tele.
Action bank (use these):
cocino · duermo · me lavo · veo la tele · como · leo · juego · estudio
5 - Match the Rooms ~10 mins
Flip two cards at a time and find each Spanish room with its English meaning. Say the Spanish quietly as you turn each card. When you find a match, add one short action: En + that room + what you do there.
