The last days of school can feel long—for you and your students. Attention drops, routines fade, and motivation can be hard to maintain. That’s exactly where a Spanish 4 Corners game (summer edition) shines. It’s simple, interactive, and gets students moving and speaking in Spanish with almost no prep.
Here’s how to use it effectively in your classroom.
Step-by-Step: How to Play
1. Set up your room
Label each corner 1, 2, 3 and 4. You can tape signs or project them on the board.
2. Explain expectations
Let students know they’ll need to:
- Move to a corner
- Speak in Spanish once they get there
- Be ready to share
3. Read a question
Example:
¿Vas a un concierto?
4. Students move
Give them a few seconds to choose and walk to their corner.
5. Partner or group discussion
Once in their corner, students discuss:
- Why they chose that answer
- Ask follow-up questions
- Compare answers
6. Share out (optional)
Call on a few students to report what their group discussed.
Why This Works (Especially in May🥳)
- Movement = engagement
Students aren’t stuck in their seats, which immediately boosts energy. - Low-pressure speaking
They talk in small groups first, which builds confidence before sharing. - Built-in differentiation
You can:- Simply read the responses with novice students
- Require extended responses for advanced students
- Perfect for end-of-year chaos
No complicated setup. No grading. Just meaningful interaction.
