Want to teach your Spanish students about Hispanic Heritage Month but don’t know where to start? Overwhelmed with the idea of spending hours creating activities for your students?
Here are some easy and fun Hispanic Heritage Month activities you can use in Spanish class!
#1. HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH COLLABORATIVE POSTERS
Looking for a unique Hispanic Heritage Month activity for your Spanish class? Check out these collaborative posters! Not only will they provide a great team-building activity for your students, but you can also use the finished posters to decorate your classroom, door, hallway, or school! Students LOVE seeing their artwork displayed!
Best part? Students will also learn about Hispanic Heritage Month and the notable Hispanic Americans on the posters! Each Hispanic Heritage Month collaborative poster comes with comprehensible reading passages in Spanish and English, one about Hispanic Heritage Month and several about the Hispanic Americans on the poster, and 10 reading comprehension questions for each passage for them to answer about what they read.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Students will each color one square of the poster and cut it out. After they finish coloring and cutting, use the included guide to assemble the pieces like a puzzle to create a beautiful 2′ x 3′ poster!
WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH EACH POSTER:
- 1 “Celebrate Hispanic Heritage” poster with notable Hispanic Americans
- 3 poster options to fit your class needs (18, 24, and 36 squares)
- Detailed student instructions
- Assembly directions with grid
- Optional extension activities (reading passages and comprehension questions in Spanish and English)
COLLABORATIVE POSTERS ARE GREAT FOR:
- Hallway displays
- Door decor
- Bulletin boards
- Sub plans
- Brain breaks
- Ice-breakers
- Team-building activities
- Fast-finishers
Or grab the bundle and save $5.50 on all three!

#2. READING COMPREHENSION MYSTERY PICTURES
Want your Spanish students to learn about notable Hispanic Americans AND improve their reading comprehension skills? Check out these no-prep reading comprehension mystery pictures! Your Spanish students will improve their reading comprehension skills as they read a passage about Selena, Marc Anthony, or Roberto Clemente and answer a variety of questions about what they read.
These Spanish pixel art activities are self-checking Google Sheets! If a student’s answer is correct, part of the hidden picture will be revealed. If a student’s answer is incorrect, the picture will not change. That lets the student know he/she needs to try again. The instant feedback really helps students improve their skills! Students love trying to guess what the picture is as they complete the activity. Hint: it always has to do with the reading passage!
There are two versions of the activity included with each mystery pic below- one that is 100% in Spanish and one that has instructions, hints, and some questions in English. Perfect for differentiation or use with different levels! With one purchase, you’d be set for lesson/sub plans for Spanish 1-4.
3. READING ACTIVITIES
Teach your students about Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ellen Ochoa, and Marc Anthony with these no-prep printable reading activities! There are three print-and-go activities to go along with the comprehensible reading passages for you to choose from- task cards, a crossword puzzle, and worksheets. Talk about an easy Spanish sub plan!
