Written, Adapted, and Compiled by Shasta Ruddock (Doll) (2004)
Please enjoy the following activities that are available to help you quickly and efficiently incorporate
Spanish into your classroom. I have used all of these activities personally in a Spanish language
elementary program that I taught weekly in Bozeman, Montana. If you have any questions, suggestions,
or feedback, please do email me at sruddock-doll@cheneysd.org .
Please know that the World Language Department at Cheney High School greatly appreciates your

~Actividad~ “Alrededor del Mundo”
Materiales:
List of questions
Direcciones:
In this activity students will play a Spanish version of the game around the world. In this game the
object is to successfully travel around the world or in this case to each desk in the classroom by
the end of the game. The game begins by choosing one student to stand next to another seated
student. The instructor gives a vocabulary word in Spanish and the first student to give the word
correctly moves on to challenge the student in the next desk. If the seated student wins the round,
that student stands and moves on to the next desk in attempt to travel around the world. The
standing student sits in the desk where he/she is stopped. In participating in this activity students
may be awarded points based on the number of seats traveled throughout the game.
Objetivos / Aplicaciones
This activity serves several purposes. One, this activity challenges students ability to recall and
express materials and concepts learned in class. This activity also demonstrates in a less
conventional manner student understanding and mastery of content. This should by no means be
used as a sole evaluator, but may be used as a tool for the instructor. This activity keeps the entire
class engaged because of it’s fast pace, and allows students to review questions that are presented
to classmates. Furthermore, this activity offers a great deal of flexibility, and can be adapted to
hold students individually accountable.
