Flujogramas chistosos: Una actividad divertida para practicar el tiempo presente y los mandatos

Diagrama de flujo No te preocupes

Funny flowcharts (flujogramas o diagramas de flujo) have been a huge hit on the internet lately, so my students have really liked to see them in Spanish. Making flowcharts is a fun way for students to use their wit and creativity while practicing the present tense and commands. I made the flowchart pictured above using Powerpoint, but of course your students could also draw them and hang them about the classroom. If any of you use this activity in class, I’d love to hear about what your students come up with in a comment, or if you´re willing I would love to see the image!
