To take this up a notch, make each corner a category (food, things to do, etc.). (Write the terms in Spanish on the board.) Student who is it counts to 10, then calls out one of the terms on the board.

To review vocabulary, tape a sketch of four vocabulary words onto each corner of the room. “It” calls out a corner (without looking), and everyone in that space is out. “It” counts to ten while everyone else quietly chooses a corner of the room to stand in.

Just make sure that these vocabulary games for Spanish class are supplementing LOTS of Spanish in context. They are great for brain breaks, team building, getting everyone moving, and motivating our students. Our students really need to see whole language, in context, in stories, songs or texts. I realized my students were memorizing the words to pass a quiz, and then forgetting them. I use to give long lists of isolated words, until I switched to proficiency-based teaching and threw out my textbook. The best way to “learn vocabulary” is in context.

In other words, the writing of the sentence has to be fully accurate, starting with the first word. Then you show the model again and repeat the process. If there is an error, you immediately stop your child and take away the paper. (By using sentences, you will automatically be using many “sight words.” In addition, you will be giving your child the opportunity to deal with words in context-a key to meaningful reading) After showing the sentence and having your child read it, turn it over and then dictate the sentence. You can do this by creating simple sentences that the child reads. That is, the child writes the word when the model is not in view. The key to achieving this goal is accurate writing (spelling)-via memory. What does this mean for parents who are helping their children master reading? Basically it means spending some time in truly teaching these words so that your child gains real mastery of them. Often, little is done other than to show the word and tell the child what it is “saying.” For many children, this is not enough, with the result that their reading of these critical words is laden with error. Unfortunately, this means minimal teaching. In addition to their being very frequent, many of these words cannot be “sounded out.” Children are expected to learn them by sight (that is, by looking at them and recognizing them, without any attempt to sound them out.) “Who, the, he, were, does, their, me, be” are a few examples. When it is applied to early reading instruction, it typically refers to the set of about 100 words that keeps reappearing on almost any page of text. Sight words is a common term in reading that has a variety of meanings.
