When I was recently asked to share the most essential resource for my Spanish classes, it took me about .5 seconds to decide what to write about- Spanish task cards! Task cards are HANDS-DOWN my favorite resource. They get students out of their seats, promote collaboration, are super easy to use, provide a well-rounded review, and can be used in a ton of different ways! Essentially, they are small cards with tasks for students to complete on them. It might be a verb to conjugate, an open-ended question to answer, finding an error in a sentence and rewriting the sentence correctly, filling in the blank with the correct form of a provided verb, or something else.
Spanish task cards can be over any topic you choose. It could be a grammar point like telling time in Spanish, a verb tense like the preterite or present progressive, verbs groups like reflexive verbs or stem-changers, or vocabulary like body parts. Whatever you want your students to review!
They can be used for a variety of activities, the best ones provide a well-rounded review of a topic, they promote collaboration and conversation, and students say they really help their understanding! They are as easy to use as just printing and cutting.

I have always thought a good engaging lesson plan was the best classroom management tool a teacher could have and task cards make a great addition to any lesson plan! Speaking of plans, they make a great sub plan, too!
