More Spanish websites!

Purposegames.com

This website contains tons of games with every subject imaginable, including spanish. The students can create an account or simply use the site as a fun study aid. Purposegames.com is the generic website, then "spanish" will be entered into the search bar to narrow down the games to their specific content area.  The games cover various topics and can be used to complement the textbook and instruction in class. The students could use this website as a take-home quiz or a study aid for upcoming tests and/or quizzes. If used as a take-home quiz, the students will submit their scores.


Mylanguageexchange.com

This website is great for the students to find online penpals. I would set them up with students their age from various Spanish speaking countries that want to learn English. The students would create a journal of their conversations with their exchange partner for a year end project that includes information about the various topics covered throughout the entire year such as their penpal's name, age, where they live,grade, hobbies, favorite foods, colors, pasttimes, etc. The students will then present the projects at the end of the year for the class.
