Thank You in Spanish Pre-Listening

Before watching the video, it’s a good idea to have kids predict what will happen. Tell them the video is about getting a present, un regalo, and ask questions to help them think about the possibilities.
For example, ¿Qué crees que sea el regalo? and ¿Y por qué crees que el chico le da un regalo a la chica?

We watch these videos all the way through once before doing activities. The videos are short and comprehensible. In addition, seeing the entire video provides important context that contributes to understanding the second time. You can watch the video below or on the Spanish Playground YouTube channel.

Circle the Word

The listening comprehension includes a circle-the-word activity supported by pictures. Read the words together before watching the video a second time. Pre-readers can do this activity because it is supported by pictures.

¿Quién lo dice?

In this activity, learners mark who said each phrase. Kids may be able to complete the table without watching the video again. If you’re working with pre-readers, read the phrases to them. You can watch again to check answers or fill in any they weren’t sure of.
