Make a Venn diagram that includes you, a family member and a friend. Complete it with 25 different descriptions from vocabulary to show how you 3 are similar and different. Do NOT repeat any of your words. Use them ONCE and put them into the right section to show which people they relate to. Do not use the word "no" at all. Absolutely no illustrating or creativity required.
Draw a self portrait of you or someone in your family. Draw and label 20 different features (descriptions). If you can't think of 20, include some things that the person is not. If the adjectives relate to personality, there should be items in the drawing that reflect those personality traits. For example, if the person "no es artistico" then you should draw a picture that they tried to draw. If they're "atlético" then maybe draw a medal or a jersey on them.
Write a poem in Spanish about yourself and the things you are and aren't. Use at least 15 descriptive words from our vocabulary. Write it or type it up neatly and mount it on some construction paper (I have some). Yo soy yo means "I'm me". Make your vocabulary words resemble the words they mean. for example, if you use the word alto (tall), make the word look tall.
Make a word wall, play battleship, Pictionary, Memory or other vocab building activities
