Instructions:    This  brain-­‐teaser  is  a  fun  and  relaxing  way  to  reinforce  phrases  and  vocabulary  from  the  above-­‐titled  song.        Working  alone  or  in  pairs,  students  will  solve  the  puzzles  by  matching  English/Spanish  translations  on  all  four  sides  of  the  individual  pieces.    Watch  a  video  tutorial  on  how  to  use  this  activity  in  your  classes.    Here’s  how  to  prepare  this  activity  for  your  class:    

1)         Included  in  this  document  are  three  puzzles:  one  easy,  one  medium,  and  one  difficult.    Depending  on  your  class  size,  you  may  want  to  print  out  multiple  copies  of  each  puzzle.      

 2)       Next,  I  recommend  that  you  laminate  each  page  and/or  print  on  cardstock  so  

you  can  easily  use  these  puzzles  again  next  year.        

3)         Each  puzzle  is  comprised  of  a  grid.    The  easy  puzzles  are  made  of  a  4x4  grid  (16  pieces.    The  medium  difficulty  puzzles  are  a  5x5  grid  (25  pieces),  and  the  difficult  levels  have  a  6x6  grid  (36  pieces).    Cut  each  of  these  grids  into  individual  pieces.      

 4)         In  the  center  of  each  individual  piece,  you  will  see  the  name  of  the  song  and  the  

number  of  the  puzzle.    This  serves  two  purposes:  It  will  help  you  with  organization,  and  it  provides  the  player  with  vertical  orientation  so  they  know  which  way  to  turn  the  pieces.      

 5)       I  recommend  that  all  students  start  on  a  4x4  puzzle,  since  the  higher  levels  can  

be  quite  challenging.    

6)         To  solve  the  puzzle,  students  will  organize  the  individual  pieces  so  that  they  reform  the  grid  as  it  used  to  be  before  you  cut  them  into  pieces.      English  to  Spanish  translations  must  match  correctly  on  all  sides.
