Morning Spanish Idea

Every morning I'm always tired and don't feel like doing anything. I know that if I feel like that at 7:30, then my students must feel like that as well. I teach Spanish 1, mostly Freshman, and they're an awesome bunch.

When my 1st period rolls into the room, they each are handed a card. The card has different names of Spanish speaking countries. When I call roll, that student stands up and tells us what his/her country is. At the end of year, students give me a spanish sentence about that country and what its capital is.

This really gets my students and I into the Spanish-speaking mood!
