Hispanic Heritage Month is from September 15 to October 15 each year. This month serves as a celebration of contributions made to the United States by many influential Hispanic people. I want to share the Hispanic heritage month resources that I’ve been using with my students to celebrate Hispanic heritage.
1. 30 Hispanic Heritage Month Mini Biographies
Need an activity to introduce some amazing people to your students? These short biographies are great! This resources includes 30 biographies about artist, musicians, writers, athletes, and more.
Use them are a bellringer to start class for the month or task cards to get students reading and reviewing in the target language.
2. ¡Qué Memoria! Influential Hispanic Heritage Figures Memory Cards
Do you remember playing memory card games? I do! I loved memory card games as a kid. Now, I love using them in class with themed vocabulary with students.
Memory cards meet influential Hispanic figures with this activity! For each match students read the simple descriptions of Hispanic Heritage Figures on one card and the name and picture of that person on another card.
This resource is extremely versatile for in class use. Here are some ways that I have used them.
- centers
- fast-finishers
- bellringer/class starter
- small group activity
- review activity
This resource is even great for distance learning. Students can use this resource as a matching activity.
3. Pasaporte Cultural Hispanic Heritage Month
If you haven’t used Pasaportes Culturales research activities, this will be a great start. Students will use this Pasaporte Cultural as an organizer to record what they learn about this celebration in one place.
4. Hispanic Heritage Month Flyer Project
Have students explore and discover Hispanic Heritage Month with this project by creating a flyer to show more about the culture and traditions of different Spanish-speaking countries. Students will work on their research, written and oral communication skills with this project.
These student created flyers can be used as an extension gallery walk with students.
5. Hispanic Heritage Gallery Walk
Want a quick activity for students? This freebie includes 4 short biographies of 4 very influential people. This gallery walk activity has comprehension questions and an extension activity.
Did I mention it’s free? 🙂 This freebie is available in my resource library. For access to this resource, subscribe to my newsletter. Then, you’ll receive instructions and a password to access.
6. Hispanic Heritage Month Digital Escape Room
Who doesn’t love a good escape room? This digital escape room will be great for students to still get to work together while distance learning. Students will reading and complete comprehension activities about the celebration and influential Hispanic Heritage figures. Check out this Hispanic Heritage Digital Escape Room HERE.
