42 Large Poster Set (18" x 24")
The Large Poster Set contains 42 full-color posters with eye-catching illustrations that help reinforce vocabulary for each theme, and tap into the visual learning style.
Vocabulary on posters and in the Student Book are shown in the same order as the songs, so that students can easily follow the lyrics. While still learning new vocabulary, Large Posters can be a visual reference for students to help them feel comfortable participating in group activities.
336 Large Picture/Word Cards
The Picture & Color-Coded Word Cards include fun illustrations accompanying the vocabulary in the program. They are used as the basis of many of the games included in the program. Words are color-coded by the part of speech (noun, adjective, verb) as well as by gender, gender agreement, and verb endings. This helps students spot patterns and make associations across words, which accelerates learning.
Cognate Picture Card Set (162 cards)
The Cognate Picture Cards teach an easy-to-learn set of vocabulary that is very similar in Spanish and English. Learning cognate words builds confidence in students and helps quickly expand their Spanish vocabulary. Incorporate the cognate words into the Q&A or build picture sentences using the cards.
14 Bingo Card Sets (14 themes with 20 cards each)
Bingo is always one of the most popular games with students! It's an awesome way to get everyone participating, having fun, and practicing their vocabulary. This complete classroom set includes 20 bingo-cards for each vocabulary theme, with full-color illustrations that make Spanish learning for kids fun and memorable.
14 Domino Sets (24 tiles each)
The Domino tiles have a color-coded vocabulary word on one side and a colorful illustration on the other. Students build vocabulary "squares" individually or in groups by matching words to pictures.
1 Large Personal Pronoun Conjugation Card Set
The Large Verb Conjugation Cards are a classroom-sized, hands-on, and visually-engaging way to teach basic verb conjugation.
The Personal Pronoun Cards have slits to insert the verb word cards in the different verb conjugation endings. Students learn to build picture sentences using the traffic light association cards for the present, past, and future tense.

Each card (8.5" x 5.5") contains loads of fun facts and interesting information about one of the 21 Spanish-speaking countries; including the country's flag, capital, demonym, traditional dress, unique nature, cultural heritage, and traditional festivals. A final card includes a map of Spanish-speaking countries, color-coded by region. In school classroom settings, these fun, colorful cards make for great decorations around the full-sized, Hispanic Countries Map poster.
Hispanic Countries Map Poster
This full-sized poster (18" x 24") shows the location of all the Spanish-speaking countries in the world, including the countries' flags.
