School Supplies in Spanish Pre-Listening Activities
Before I watch the video with my students, we predict what the conversation will be about. To do this, you can pause the video at the beginning and ask them what they can see and what they think the people will talk about.
For example, ¿Qué tiene la chica? (una mochila) and ¿Para qué se usa una mochila?
School Supplies in Spanish Video

In this activity, learners identify which speaker said the phrase. Kids may be able to complete the table without watching the video again. Also, if you’re working with pre-readers, read the phrases to them. Then, watch again to check answers or fill in any they didn’t hadn’t answered.
¿Qué pasó?
This section has general listening comprehension questions about the video. The questions on the printable activities are:
1. ¿Por qué está nerviosa la chica?
2. ¿Qué le da el chico a la chica?
3. ¿Dónde guarda los útiles escolares la chica?
¿Y tú? Personal Questions
Asking personal questions makes the video content relevant to learners and lets kids talk about themselves in Spanish.

Of course, you can personalize the questions even more. For example, ask kids about their favorite school supplies or ask them to describe the supplies they have with them.
