CAKE AND HAM

   

 

Let’s talk about slang!

In The United States when something is very easy to do it is common to say: “that’s a piece of cake!”

In Cuba we say: “¡Eso es jamón! (That's ham!).

SENTIMIENTOS/ FEELINGS

 

In order to teach the feelings in Spanish to the little kids you can do it using ping pong balls, so the kids will be more interested in it because they will see the class as a normal game.

The teacher can put the ping pong balls in a basket and asks to one student: ¿Cómo estás hoy? (how are you today?) and the student have to pick one ball from the basket and say the feeling in Spanish depending of what they see in the ball.
