Spanish vocabulary related to housework
Because everybody loves washing the dishes!
OK, we’ll admit it, maybe housework isn’t a subject that is going to generate a lot of enthusiasm amongst your students. However, if they are aiming to pass official exams, this is vocabulary which they will need to know. The issues of cleaning, washing up and general household chores can also be used as a base from which to launch more wide-ranging class discussions about the role of women in the house and male/female stereotyping in Spain or Latin America. Just be careful the conversation doesn’t get too heated!
In this free A4 worksheet we show students how to talk about typical activities we normally get up to when we are on the beach. This free resource is suitable for false beginner or intermediate-level students.
