Fun descriptions with SER writing activity: ¡Mentirosos!
My Spanish 1 students are working on descriptions with SER right now, and I’m always trying to find ways to switch up the usual «¿Cómo eres?» activities for practicing personal descriptions.
In this activity, Peter Griffin and Voldemort are «mentirosos» who have written very inaccurate dating profiles.
Students first re-write each profile to make it more accurate, and then write a new profile for a character of their choice. Correcting the profiles first serves as a model for writing the last profile on their own.
Finally, students swap to share their (often comical) character profiles and peer edit.
Peter Griffin and Voldemort are very recognizable for my college-age students, but the characters could be changed to best suit your students’ interests.
Here is a link to the printable PDF of the handout:

Spanish Conversation Cards (Free PDF)
I’m hosting the Spanish conversation table at my new university (exciting!) and made these cards for newcomers who might feel nervous to strike up a conversation.
There are 2 cards per page, so I cut each page in half and laminated each card.
These are very basic conversation cards because our table is open to everyone, including absolute beginners.

La Monumental Rosca de Reyes de Zacatecas: Story and Activities (preterite versus imperfect) (culture: holiday celebrations)
Main Street is closed for the whole city to enjoy 2 kilometers of cakes! Yes, this really happened! I came upon this scene January 7th of last year in Zacatecas, Mexico, and have been wanting to share this fun celebration the day after Día de Reyes with my students ever since. The result: this read-along video story (narrated by a native speaker from Zacatecas) and accompanying handout for story-based activities. I hope you will find it useful to incorporate into a unit on holidays, for targeted practice for preterite versus imperfect, and/or as a reading comprehension activity.
The following activity sheet features 5 components:
-
Vocabulario – quick prep for understanding key words in the story
-
Comprehensión de lectura
-
Conversación y escritura– retelling the narration to solidify comprehension and practice narration in the past tense
-
Gramática – Preterite versus imperfect cloze activity
-
Conexiones y culturas – internet search for other celebrations and written description of other ways Día de Reyes is celebrated
