 * Christmas in Spain information packet with pictures
 * While searching FLteach I found what is the called, "The Tex-Mex Version of Twas the Night Before Christmas" it is really cute and will make your students laugh. You can have them read it to themselves first and highlight the Spanish words and try to figure out the meanings. This could be a race/game for a dulce. You could also simply read it as a class and talk about the meanings of the Spanish words.
 * Also included in this file is a scavenger hunt that would work particularly well for an Exploratory Language class, but other FL classes could do it as well. It is matching how you say "Merry Christmas" in 20 languages. Students can ask their peer, parents, teachers or use the internet.
 * Finally, there are some lyrics of other holiday songs you may fine useful. This is just a document that I was cutting and pasting the information that I found on FLteach and then re-formatting it so don't mind the jumble of different holiday things. user:batorbro

Hey yall,

I found this great recipe for Turron, the most popular Spanish treat during Christmas time. I made it for my classes. I figured I'd post the website I found it on. Good luck cooking!

- For this activity, students work in pairs. Each pair receives a Christmas word, and they work together to define it in Spanish. When everyone finishes, each pair reads their definition while the rest of the class guesses their word. Easily adapted for other holidays or even other vocab words! user:sarahew
