- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
This project includes:
A vocabulary list with Spanish to English terms that will be found in the story.
An original reading for novice level Spanish learners that explains what Guatemalan Worry dolls are used for in Guatemala.
An art project with step by step picture directions for making your own DIY Guatemalan Worry dolls in your classroom. All you need is wire or pipe cleaners, scissors, and yarn. If kids are missing supplies, there are lots of creative ways to improvise (using a spoon, paperclips, toothpicks, etc...)
Links to two videos. One video has a teacher (myself) demonstrating how to make the worry dolls in English and using a few basic Spanish words. In the second video, I read the story in Spanish. You can press CC to add English subtitles!
