1. I can express my opinion about different activities in complete thoughts.
2. I can explain and identify "infinitive verbs"
3. I can communicate about this topic through speaking, writing, reading and listening.
What do you like to do?
In this lesson, learn how to express how you feel about different activities.
Spanish doesn't always translate literally into English. Word order changes, and sometimes, there is no exact equivalent for what you want to say. The following phrases are examples of this. When translating, we don't translate these into their literal meaning. Instead, we match the Spanish with the closest normal sounding translation in English.
¿Te gusta? - Does it please you? (Do you like it?)
Me gusta - It pleases me (I like it)
Me gusta mucho - It pleases me a lot (I really like it)
No me gusta - It does not please me (I don't like it)
No me gusta mucho - It doesn't please me a lot (I don't really like it)
Copy these "Me gusta" phrases into 4 columns from least to most preferred. Then, scroll through these hobbies and activities in Spanish.
When you read the activity, think about how much you enjoy doing it. Then, say the phrase that best describes your preference. Last, copy the activity into that column. Don't forget to include what it means with a translation or picture.
Both English and Spanish have infinitive verbs. A verb is a word that shows action (run, jump, study). An infinitive verb is a verb in its natural form. In English, this form starts with "to". In Spanish, it ends in either "ar", "er" or "ir".
Name 1 verb from the set that has each ending and say what it means.
Take a sheet of copy paper and divide it into 4 equal squares (2 rows, 2 columns)
Label each section the same way you labeled your columns
Choose 4-5 activities that best represent you for each section and write their Spanish names
Use illustration, magazine cutouts or internet clipart/images to add a visual for each of the activities you include
Your final project should be organized chaos, like a collage.
Me encanta - It delights me (I love it)
Me importa (mucho) - It matters (a lot) to me
No me interesa - It doesn't interest me
Me aburre- it bores me
If you aren't sure how you feel about something because you don't have experience with it, you can say, No sé si me gusta (I don't know if I like it.)

Play charades or pictionary to practice the 50 hobby/activities
Play each others' kahoots and quizizzes
Make physical flashcards or a Memory Game
Practice asking a classmate "¿Te gusta _____? until you get 5 "Sís" and then swap. Try not to repeat anything that was already said.
Circle game. Form a circle with your classmates. The first person says an activity from our vocab (Just in Spanish). The next person repeats what they said, then adds a new one. This keeps going until a participant cannot repeat the list or messes it up or can't think of anything to add. They're out, then their turn passes to the next person. Last one in that can recite the whole list and add something to it wins.
