Spanish Games and French Games

I love using French and Spanish games in class. It’s always fun to spice up language class and get students out of their seats and moving around. Active learning is so much better than sitting and listening to a lecture. I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite Spanish (and French) language games to play in the classroom. Be sure to grab the file with all of the instructions for these games at the end of the post.
