¡Hola! We designed this worksheet to help you practice vocabulary for wild animals in Spanish through a card conversation game in teams. We hope you like the game and that you can talk a lot about animals and their characteristics with your friends or classmates.
Directions:
Students work in pairs or groups of four to practice with the exercises on this worksheet.
Each group of students gets a worksheet. First, they must cut out the cards with pictures and names of different wild animals in Spanish. Their teacher could also do it before the class so that they don’t see the cards before playing the game. Then they form a deck and each student draws a card. The other students can ask 5 questions about the animal (one student at a time). If a student guesses, he keeps the card, but if he doesn’t then the one who drew it keeps it. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins.
