My students & I loved this story! It is very comprehensible for students and easy to use. The matamoscas game was a huge hit, I will definitely be looking for similar resources in the future!

This was perfect for my students to practice preterite and test their comprehension of a story they all knew. ¡Gracias!

My students weren't familiar with all the vocabulary but being a familair story they could figure out the words they didn't know. They loved playing matamoscas and for Quien lo dijo we used whiteboards where they wrote their answers. At the end of this mini unit students felt more confident with the preterite and the new words they learned.

Used this in an 8th grade Spanish I class for comprehensible input during the house unit. A nice opportunity to introduce a couple basic furniture items (table, chairs).
