These Spanish coloring sheets are the perfect activity for early finishers or to review basic vocabulary. My students love to use these as "mindfulness" activities to calm themselves down as well. You can play a game in which students have to find the matching word/picture and color it the same color. Or they can simply be used as coloring practice.

These word puzzles help my students identify Spanish syllables. First they fit the syllables in the puzzle sheet and then blend the syllables to read the word. They write the syllables in the student accountability sheet and write the word on the line. They love figuring out the two syllable words and it is easy enough for them to do completely independently. There are a total of 36 pages with words that include the following consonant + vowel syllables: m, s, p, t, l, f, b, n, d, h, ll and r. T

Teaching style
