Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I teach English to students who grew up speaking a language other than English. Even though my students have been in the U.S. for many years, they still struggle with vocabulary, spelling, writing and with having the confidence to speak in groups using English instead of their native tongue.

My goal is to use these games on Fridays to help my ELD students improve their spelling (Scrabble, Scattergories, Bananagrams, Boggle) and to improve their confidence in verbally speaking (Pictionary, Charades, Taboo).

We had a power outage in class last week, so I organized an impromptu game of charades since I couldn't use my overhead or computer. None of my students had ever played charades. They spoke! They laughed! They played! It was awesome. One girl wrote me a note that said, "As soon as I get home, I become the mom, chef and maid of the family while my parents work. I always have to take care of 3 little ones. I haven't laughed or felt silly in many years. Thank you for today. We should have more days like this." This note led me to this request for games. I also added some treats in my request to give prizes.
