«La Gozadera» Song Activity (los países, las nacionalidades, las banderas)
This activity is so fun! Students learn/practice Latin American country names, flags, and nationality terms while enjoying the upbeat song «La Gozadera.» You may choose to use only one part of this activity in your class, or all of them!
1. Hand out this activity sheet with the lyrics. (Click here for a free PDF). Instruct students to choose a country mentioned in the lyrics and draw the flag for that country.
(Click here for an answer key for the handout.)
2.Watch «La Gozadera» music video. As students watch the video, they should be listening out for their country to be mentioned. Each time their country is mentioned, they raise their flag.
3. Students complete the activity sheet by writing the nationality terms next to each country name.
4. Review answers and discuss lyrics and video.
5. Conversation: Students walk around the classroom with their flags to practice the following dialogue:
A: «¿De dónde eres?»
B: «Soy de (país) .» -o- «Soy (nacionalidad) .»
Let me know if you try out this activity in your classroom! I´d love to know how it goes!
Also, we did this activity in my classroom to review nationality terms. I already introduced them using the song «Humano» by Lida Pimienta. Click here for my post about that including the lyrics video I made!
Video: «Humano» de Lido Pimienta (Ser, la geografía, las nacionalidades)
I have been using the song «Humano» by Lido Pimienta for years after seeing it on Zachary Jones´ fabulous website. (Click here for a link to Zachary Jones´ post about this song.) I made this video of the song to visually reinforce geography by showing country names and images as she sings each nationality, as well as conjugations of SER and adjective agreement (humano vs. humana). I have also found that projecting a visual aid helps keeps students focused during such a soothing song. Enjoy the video!

Maravillas naturales de España
Perhaps use these breathtaking natural landmarks as part of a travel unit? Have students mark them on the map and/or use authentic online travel resources to create a travel plan (plane, train, rental car, bus, hotel, restaurant reservations according to an itinerary calendar, other stops on the route). Just some ideas!
