This was such a life saver as we approached winter break. When energy levels and focus are dropping for the students (and me), these lessons helped keep everyone focused and intrigued by cultural traditions! Definitely add this bundle to your teaching resources! You won't be disappointed!

My students and I found this resource very fun to use during the holiday time. It was very engaging for the students and provided a lot of different activities to keep the students engaged, especially right before winter break.

SO many valuable lessons here! I wasn't able to use them all yet, but my students absolutely LOVED the lesson about Tío de Nadal. Of course we built our own for the classroom and had to try some turrón. I am so thankful to have these resources. Looking forward to the rest of the bundle, I can always trust that it will not disappoint!

I loved this resource because it provided me with a variety of materials to teach the various forms in which the holidays are celebrated in different Spanish speaking countries.

These were some great resources for learning about holidays at the end of the semester. Could definitely be used for sub work too.
