A fun way to learn Spanish vocabulary is to go on a scavenger hunt. You begin with a list of Spanish terms. They could be divided into any category that you are currently studying. This could include items found in a grocery store, school, shopping mall or park. The objective of the scavenger hunt would be to identify as many terms as you can in Spanish. If this type of activity were to be done at school, students could take a field trip and work in groups or teams to see who could identify the most terms. Students would have to have their terms double checked with the instructor to make sure they could move on to the next one.
A fun twist on Pictionary is to have all of the terms guessed in Spanish . This is a great way to reinforce terms and see if students can identify them correctly. The class can be divided into two teams. Each team is given a list of Spanish words. A member from one team draws a word such as "escuela" and begins to draw the school. Teammates can only guess the picture in Spanish to receive points. The game continues until one team has the most points in the allotted amount of time.
Another fun twist on a popular game is to turn the game of Scrabble into a Spanish vocabulary game. Instead of building words and receiving points the usual way, you can see how many points you can rack up from coming up with Spanish terms. This will reinforce spelling in Spanish and test the knowledge of the vocabulary.
