Motivation and Movement

Fresco centers students as active and engaged participants in their language learning process

Get students up and moving, learning through games, and making personal connections to stay motivated and engaged.

Real-World Testimonial: “The [Memoria] activity went really well because it was fun and interactive—everyone was engaged and excited to find matches. The game helped them remember the new vocabulary without feeling like a test, and I noticed students using the words more confidently afterward.”
— Gloria, Middle School Spanish Teacher, New York

		Game-based Learning: From reviewing vocabulary with games like Lotería and Memoria, to honing their interpersonal speaking skills with more complex party games, students get authentic, interactive practice, and have fun doing it!
		Incorporating Movement & Peer Interaction: Students aren’t falling asleep at their desks with this engaging curriculum! Interpersonal activities like Find Someone Who and Four Corners and presentational Gallery Walks get students up and moving around the classroom, interacting with and learning from their peers.
		Content that Speaks to Students: Fresco includes discussions and activities that are relevant to today’s students, encouraging them to make personal connections, explore their own interests, and understand how Spanish can be part of their lives beyond the classroom.
		Connecting to Home and Heritage: Whether they are sharing what they’ve learned about Latin American culture with their families or drawing connections to a heritage culture, students bring what they’ve learned to their homes and communities.
