Voy de Vacaciones (I'm going on vacation)

  1. Pull out a map of the Americas or a world globe.
  2. Practice vocabulary to describe places (i.e. north = el norte,, south = el sur, east= el este, west= el oeste, hot= caliente, cold= frio, rainy= lluvioso, mountains= las montanas, ocean= el oceano)
  3. Parent asks:  ¿Adónde vas?  [ah-dohn-day  bahs?]  Where are you going ?
  4. Child responds:  Voy a un lugar  ______________.  [boy  ah  oon  loo-gahr  ________], filling in the blank with a description of that location where child plans to vacation.  For example :
    • Voy a un lugar al norte…………………..I am going somewhere north
    • Voy a un lugar al sur……………………..I am going somewhere south
    • Voy a un lugar al este………………………………………………..east
    • Voy a un lugar al oeste………………………………………………west
    • Voy a un lugar donde es caliente………..I am going somewhere where it is hot
    • Voy a un lugar donde es frio……………..I am going somewhere where it is cold
    • Voy a un lugar donde es lluvioso………..I am going somewhere where it is rainy
    • Voy a un lugar donde hay montanas……I am going somewhere where there are mountains.
    • Voy a un lugar cerca del oceano ………..I am going to a place close to the ocean.
  5. Parent guesses the location based on the description.  If the location is guessed correctly, one point is earned.  Parent and child switch roles for continued play.
