Looking for Women’s History Month activities for Spanish class? Check out this Women’s History Month Running Dictation.
This running dictation resource is designed to introduce or review what students have learned about some amazing women for Women’s History Month. Each strip has high frequency verbs in the past or present and Spanish cognates to help students understand.
Be prepared for a high energy environment with this activity! Students will enjoy running (walking hastily) to remember the phrases. I love this activity because they are so caught up in what they are doing that they don’t realize how much they are retaining. Gotta love activities that are fun and educational.
