Create a cuento:
Students will use their knowledge of sports and body vocab to create a story. I will provide a basic structuring, but students will fill in names, sports, etc. (TPRS)
Video- different people are asked and respond what their favorite sport is. Students will circle the corresponding pictures to match the sports they hear.
Presentational Mode
Interpersonal Mode
Polished:
Students will look through simple Spanish books on famous sports players and pick one to present on. They will dress up using clothes provided and will tell us about their chosen player.

 “Yo tengo…. ¿Quién tiene…?”
