Dia+de+los+Muertos

This is a page to share all links and activities for el Dia de los Muertos, like a "take a penny, leave a penny" place. :)

This is a goal sheet for students with a few homework options at the bottom. This helps me plan lessons so students can DO something in Spanish before they leave class for the day.

Ofrenda Scavenger Hunt Teachers guided students in creating an ofrenda as a class--this resulted in several ofrendas (table size). Each ofrenda group generated 3-5 information questions from the ofrenda like these: 1. How old was he when he died? 2. What was her favorite beverage? 3. Frieda Khalo has a distinctive facial feature. What is it? Reflection for participants asked them to plan a personal ofrenda.
