Description

These Spanish reading comprehension passages and activities are great comprehensible input for Christmas / Navidad / Winter! Each reading describes an elf and includes their name (all silly names!), illustration, where they are from (all funny town names from the US!), parent names, birthday, likes, favorite color, favorite food (all sweets!), and footnotes for vocabulary help.

⭐This activity is included in my Spanish Reading Comprehension Activities BUNDLE!⭐

These are written in present tense to make them comprehensible for beginner level students. They include lots of examples of the following structures and vocabulary: me llamo, mi nombre es, se llama, me gusta, winter vocabulary, family vocabulary, dates, mi ___ favorito.

The readings can be used as a gallery walk with the included Busca a alguien que… activity. Just hang them around the classroom, hallway, etc. and let students move around to read each one. You can also print 2 or 4 per page to use as task cards on each desk or for other activities.

I’ve aIso included a gift list activity where students draw or insert an image of a gift for each elf based on his/her like.

There’s also a blank writing template for students to create and write about their own elf. Blank versions of the gift list and Busca activities are also included if you’d like to repeat them using students’ writings.

DIGITAL VERSIONS INCLUDED! I’ve included the readings in Google Slides format. I’ve also included a landscape Google Slides version of the Busca a alguien que… activity and Gift List for an option for paperless or distance learning. Also includes an interactive Google Slides activity that has the readings plus 2 true or false statements and a space to insert an image of the perfect gift for the elf. Students drag “cierto” and “falso” icons underneath each statement.
