Hobbies
Activity 1
Ana Belén is hosting a game show. She asks the contestants what they like to do.
Can you remember the words for their hobbies? Here’s a list to remind you, with a few more added on too:
Language in this activity
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bailar | bahylahr | To dance | |
| Cantar | kahntahr | To sing | |
| Pintar | peentahr | To paint | |
| Jugar | huugahr | To play | |
| Me gusta nadar | meh goostah nadahr | I like swimming | |
| Me gusta jugar al tenis | meh goostah huugahr al tehneess | I like playing tennis | |
| Me gusta jugar al fútbol | meh goostah huugahr al fuutboll | I like playing football |
Practise saying these. Do you have any of these hobbies? Once you’ve learnt the words, try adding them to me gusta or no me gusta, which you learnt last week. Find a partner and practise asking what activites they like to do, as Ana Belén does in the video. When you’re happy with that, print out the activity sheet and follow the instructions on there (it mixes last week’s topic with this week’s). If you don’t have a printer, just copy out and fill in the sheet on some paper. You can draw your own pictures too.
Here’s another activity sheet which you can complete. Again, it incorporates bits from last week too. Why not have a go? Print it off and follow the instructions on there. Again, if you don’t have a printer, just copy out and fill in the sheet on some paper, drawing your own pictures if it helps.
