A few Spanish children go on a trip to the beach in Valencia.
They explain what they like about the beach and the types of activities they enjoy.
After a packed day out they head home tired. They express their feelings with lots of useful adjectives.
This clip is from the BBC series, Being Spanish.
Teacher Notes
- As part of a movement or drama lesson, pupils could be encouraged to freeze frame the different activities that the Spanish children like to do on the beach.
- For each freeze frame, they could be encouraged to get into different sized groups (teacher says a number in Spanish to indicate group size).
- Once in their groups, pupils should be given a minute to arrange themselves in a freeze frame of the chosen activity (teacher to say the activity in Spanish).
