Spanish question words are essential vocabulary and learners need to practice them in different contexts. The activity pages below are an excellent way to practice Spanish question words.
Each of these pages has a set of pictures. The pictures are related, but also show different objects, colors and actions. On each page, there are questions about the pictures to read and answer.

Practice Spanish Question Words with Pictures
The formatting and the number of questions make this a search and find activity for kids. Because there are 6 -12 pictures in each set and 10-20 questions for each page, kids search for the picture that answers the question. This way, they can get lots of practice with questions and it feels like a game.
As I mentioned, there are lots of questions on each page. There is no need to ask all the questions each time you do this activity. You can choose a few and then go on to another set of pictures.
This is a fun activity to practice Spanish question words and other vocabulary during the summer. It is also a great activity for a few minutes at the end of class, and there are lots of ways to structure it. For example, you can do these with a large group by numbering the images when you project them. That makes it easy for kids to answer the questions with a number.
