Bring culture, comparison, and speaking practice together with a simple group project for Spanish class!

In this video, I share a quick cultural comparison activity that works well after students have learned about Halloween and El Día de los Muertos. It can be used after a larger unit or as a simple follow-up to activities like bingo, a crossword, chat mats, readings, videos, or an ofrenda project.

This collaborative activity gives students a chance to compare similarities and differences in Spanish, add a few visuals, and present their ideas to the class in a flexible, classroom-friendly way.

In this video, I share how to:
Use a cultural comparison activity similar to the old AP-style task
Connect Halloween and El Día de los Muertos in a meaningful way
Keep the project simple with a set number of similarities and differences
Let students work collaboratively in groups
Add a few visuals to support student presentations
Adapt the activity for different class levels or time frames

How it works:
Students review or learn about Halloween and El Día de los Muertos
Groups identify a total number of similarities and differences
Students include a few simple visuals
Each group presents their comparison in Spanish
The number of examples and visuals can be adjusted for your class

This is a practical way to make cultural learning more interactive while giving students a reason to use Spanish with purpose. It can be as simple or as developed as you need it to be.
