Are you a Spanish teacher and would like to introduce a new element in your classes that will surprise your students? Do you think that moving to the interactive world is going to be too complicated for you?
Well, nothing could be further from the truth. Would you like to learn about a free and simple website that will change the way you approach your classes? Then read on...
We present Educaplay, a website for teachers and students of all levels and subjects that offers a lot of possibilities to turn your class into a fun space while your students learn almost without realizing it. To start using it is very easy: you only have to register by entering your name, surname and e-mail address. Once inside, a whole world of possibilities opens up, you just have to choose the ones that best suit your tastes and your students' needs.
Some of the activities are reminiscent of traditional pastimes, such as crossword puzzles or word search puzzles. Others are more similar to the classic activities, but in digital version: we can prepare tests, columns to relate, words to complete, presentations or even dictations. All of them can be adapted to different subjects, although there are some that are perhaps more focused on a specific subject, such as interactive maps or dialogues.
If, despite its interactive component, all this seems too traditional, you should know that Educaplay also offers more innovative activities that tend to delight students, especially the younger ones. An example of this is the Froggy Jumps activity, in which students must help a frog to cross the road without being run over. To do so, they have to choose the correct answers to the questions posed. However, in our experience, the most addictive activity for students is undoubtedly Word Roulette. With a format similar to that of the well-known television program, students must complete the alphabet by answering with the appropriate word for each letter according to the definition offered. It is a very fun activity to do in teams and is very useful for reviewing vocabulary. In addition, it can be adapted for all levels.
If you are thinking that preparing all of these activities must be very complicated or laborious, the answer is no. Educaplay offers you ready-to-use templates, you only have to indicate the contents you want to work on and enter the correct questions and answers in each case. Forget about everything else, the website will do it for you.
