Countries and Capitals

  1. Review vocabulary for names of the 20 Spanish-speaking countries and their corresponding capital cities (and perhaps their associated flags).
  2. Create an “S”-shaped game board with 20 squares making the path.
  3. Write the name of a different country in each box or place a different flag sticker in each box (See Rocky Mountain School Supplies in Lafayette for flag stickers).
  4. Use different coins as game pieces (or whatever else you might choose), and have the 1st player roll the die.
  5. The 1st player counts the number of spaces to advance aloud in Spanish as he or she moves.
  6. Where the player lands, he or she must identify both the name of the country and its capital in Spanish.
  7. If either the country or the capital or both are unable to be identified in Spanish,  the player must retreat 2 spaces.
  8. Play alternates among players.  The first player to reach the end of the board with a correct answer wins.
