End Strong Get some beach balls and have students write a message to you (each other) in the target language on each one. Have students write their goals for the summer on an index card. Keep and re-distribute at the beginning of the year to see if they accomplished their goals. (A great way to review the future and past tenses!) Use this ready made printable from Spanishplayground.net Make a class memory book. Choose some of the best memories from the class and create a memory book. Use Google Slides or https://padlet.com/ to share with the world. Create a “who said it” bingo board with some of the best lines from the class. Don’t forget yourself! Do a summer “treasure hunt” with questions like: Find someone who is going to go to San Diego. Find someone who is going to read, etc. Challenge your student to a summer YouTube-a-thon. Ask your students to see who can watch the most YouTube videos in the target language. Use Twitter, Google Docs, badges or another social media tool to get students to share what they have watched. The leader at the beginning of next school year wins a prize! |
