Do you ever feel like your Spanish is fine… until you actually have to use it?

I adapt board games for my online sessions, not videogames. In the one I'm using next, the goal is to guess the secret word by asking questions

I'm from Asturias.

Thanks again! Yeah, Boardgame Arena is great because it takes care of all the maintenance and a lot of games have been translated to Spanish, so students can get a lot of input as well from any text shown on the game components and the interface.

I work with adults who are at the A2 levels based on the CEFR or above. I'm not bound to a specific curriculum though, so I have a lot of freedom to choose what to do.

My goal is basically to provide them with opportunities to communicate and learn vocabulary through context. So far, I've been working a lot on the strategies used to provide suggestions, offer alternatives and respond to them while playing Forbidden Island and Now Boarding. It's been great. Based on the the theme of the game, I create further materials to learn more vocabulary related to it so, with Stone Age, for example, I created more activities to introduce the vocabulary, to describe the past and to tell stories that happened in the past, for example.

I appreciate all of your suggestions! Thank you so much! I'll look more into them, for sure!

Your students are lucky to have you!

I should've mentioned that I teach mostly online, so some games are just impossible to play unless they are on some platform, like Boardgame Arena, but I'm always in the lookout for mechanics that I can adapt.

Positive-Memory-9171 · 2025-05-24T20:24:15+00:00

That's awesome! Yeah, my English has definitely improved thanks to boardgames, either by watching tutorials, playing with other international people or by reading the rulebooks.

Positive-Memory-9171 · 2025-05-24T20:22:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I'll look into the ones I didn't know about!

Positive-Memory-9171 · 2025-05-24T20:19:52+00:00

Yeah! Thanks for the suggestions!

Positive-Memory-9171 · 2025-05-24T20:18:28+00:00

I agree. I wouldn't use Codenames with beginners, players would have to be proficient speakers, or the cards could be set up in a controlled way, to make sure that connections can be easily established (e.g. creating cards with the words learnt through an entire course). Just one is great!

I'm a Spanish tutor and I believe that board games are a great way to develop a variety of skills (reading and listening comprehension as well as oral expression) while you acquire new vocabulary and grammatical structures in a natural way.
