Family
Activity 1
Antonio and Lucía are brother and sister. Here they introduce their family to us. Try and pick up the words for brother, sister, mum, dad, grandad and grandma.
Did you get those words? If you didn't quite catch them don’t worry! Here’s a table to help you:
Language in this activity
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hermano | ehrmahnoh | Brother | |
| Hermana | ehrmahnah | Sister | |
| Mamá | mammah | Mum | |
| Papá | pah-pah | Dad | |
| Abuela | ahbwelah | Grandma | |
| Abuelo | ahbweloh | Grandad |
If you can remember that, choose one of your family members and practise saying “Mi [relative] se llama [name]" which means “My [relative] is called [name]”.
Once you’ve done that, print off the activity sheet and follow the instructions on there. If you don’t have a printer, just copy out and fill in the sheet on some paper. You could draw your own people, too.
Activity 2
Antonio is showing pictures of his family to Marina. Watch the video - which of the words can you remember from the previous activity?
Print off this wordsearch and have a go! If you don’t have a printer, you could just practise writing the different words from the sheet on some paper. Can you spot the words in the wordsearch just by looking at the screen?
