[|www.studyspanish.com] Grammar explanations and activities, and much more!

[] Don't know if you guys have seen his site before via FLTEACH, but wow! Has some great resources to current cultural happenings and activites to go a long with them. Ex: Preterite activity for Where the Wild Things Are (Donde Viven Los Monstruos) []

I give these sites to review map work, countries and capitals. I recommend this one! And my kids LOVE (to hate) the Mexico to P.R version and the Venezuela to Brasil one too! The repetition is great, but it makes me glad I only have 1 or 2 sections of Spansih 1!!

www.quia.com click on web, then under shared activities you can click on Spanish and pull up all kinds of review games for different grammar concepts. I love playing battleship with the students! You can also sign up to create your own account and have students complete homework assignments, quizzes etc...

www.classtools.net I recently was told about this site. I used it to create some vocabulary games for my students. The games remind me of Nintendo games - I got into them, and when I showed them to my kids they were hooked to!! Also, an online timer and a random name picker... oh the possiblities!

[] Have students make a recording and submit it to you using their cellphone! I'm just trying this out, but when you create your free account (It's a 1yr trial, then $10.00 a year after that) you get a phone number with and extention that students can call, make a recording, and it automatically changes it into an MP3 that you can listen to from that website page. There's a conference call feature too but I'm not sure how it works. Lots of possibilities for speaking assessments here.

[] - great practice at home for kids! 9.99 a year - my colleagues and I take turns paying!

[] - cool lots of reading!
