Spanish Activities for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) | iPad Compatible

10/30/2014

To help Spanish learners understand the celebrations and beliefs behind the Day of the Dead, or "Día de los muertos," I created some listening activities. All of them are iPad compatible. If you find these activities useful, please share them with your colleagues, friends, and of course, students!

The first activity is in a comic format, where students listen and type what they can understand. This can help start a discussion regarding Halloween and Día de los muertos. The second activity is a cloze activity to help students get familiar with the Spanish sounds as well as the vocabulary. Students can pause the audio to enter their answers.

Finally, the last activity is based on the movie The Book of Life (El libro de la vida), which is loosely based on the celebration of the Day of the dead. Although this movie is not completely based on true facts, the animations are engaging. The vocabulary is not very complicated, and it could also help start a discussion to understand the concept of death in Mexico and in the United States. Here are the links to all of the activities
