Spanish Vocabulary is necessary for students to memorize so that they can begin to use these new words in a dialogue. Whether, it is Los pasa tiempos, ¿Adónde vas a ir de vacaciones?, or ¿Qué haces en tu casa?, with Storyboard That, students can aid their learning in a variety of ways. Using our storyboard cells, students or teachers can create visual flashcards that have a picture of the word and its name in Spanish. Another great idea is to create scenes and have students find and circle the item like a scavenger hunt! Or, students can create a storyboard that uses the word in the dialogue, for practice. The options are endless!
For this example, the teacher has created a template that students will fill out using the vocabulary from the word bank for household items.

Student Instructions
Fill in the boxes with the correct words
Designate a section of your classroom wall for Spanish vocabulary words. Post new words with pictures each week, and group them by theme (e.g., household items, food, activities). Encourage students to refer to the wall during activities to reinforce learning.
Ask students to draw, print, or find magazine images representing each vocabulary word. Display their visuals alongside the words to make the word wall interactive and personalized. This boosts engagement and memory retention.
Start class with a 2-minute game like 'I Spy,' matching, or word scramble using the word wall. Rotate games regularly to keep students excited and reinforce vocabulary in a fun way.
Have students pick a word from the wall and create a sentence or short dialogue in Spanish. Share examples out loud or post them near the word wall to promote language use and peer learning.
Visual flashcards with images and Spanish words, interactive scene creation, and vocabulary scavenger hunts are engaging methods to help students learn and remember Spanish household vocabulary.
To make visual flashcards, use Storyboard That to add storyboard cells, insert a picture for each household item, and label it with the Spanish word. This helps students connect words and images.
Try vocabulary scavenger hunts, fill-in-the-boxes worksheets, or create short dialogues using new words. These activities are fast, fun, and effective for reinforcing learning.
Using new Spanish words in dialogues helps students practice real-life communication, improves retention, and builds their confidence in speaking Spanish.
Start with pictures and simple labels, model pronunciation, and use interactive activities like matching games or storyboards to make learning household vocabulary easy and memorable.
