The class is divided into two teams. One member of each team is seated at the front of the room. The other members of each team are seated shoulder to shoulder to form a line. I then show the name of an occupation in Spanish to the teams. One by one, the students have to think of a clue word to give to their teammate sitting in front.
Clues alternate back and forth between teams.
We brainstorm a list of things that one might find in a want ad for a job. Then students make up original want ads. They are encouraged to be creative. Each student must then reply to one of the ads by writing a formal letter of introduction in which they request an interview for the position. The next step is to have the students create questions as if they are the employers.
