Spooky Spanish: Bones, Ghosts & Don Juan

An interactive, homework-ready KS3 Spanish activity on Todos los Santos in Madrid: sweets, prices and a ghost play. Y7–8, 15–20 min.

Saints’ bones, a cake shop and a ghost play!
On 1 November, Spain celebrates All Saints’ Day. In Madrid, families take flowers to the cemetery, cake shops fill with huesos de santo (marzipan “saints’ bones”) and buñuelos, and theatres perform Don Juan Tenorio, a famous play with ghosts and talking statues. This short resource introduces it all to Year 7–8 using simple present-tense Spanish.

Three quick tasks on the interactive page:

• Lee y descubre: two short texts with tap-to-translate words and audio, then true/false questions. • En la pastelería: work out the price of three orders in euros, then build your own: Quiero dos huesos de santo, por favor. The page works out the price and reads it aloud. • Don Juan Tenorio: meet the characters of the famous ghost play and solve "¿Quién es?" riddles.

What’s included:

• an interactive HTML page that works offline, with audio and self-checking tasks, and saves progress • a one-page worksheet that matches it, with English support • a teacher page with answers, a cultural note and translations • an optional student vocab list to print and cut (two per page)

Perfect for homework: each task reveals letters of a secret code. Students write it on their worksheet, so you can see at a glance who finished.

Language covered: ordering food with Quiero… por favor, numbers and prices in euros, singular and plural nouns, and describing people with lleva / es.

Flexible use: homework, a starter or plenary, a cover lesson, or a 1 November activity in class. It also fits food and shopping topics.

Part of the Fiestas misteriosas unit. Also available: San Andrés de Teixido, Samaín, La Santa Compaña, Santa Marta de Ribarteme and Las brujas de Zugarramurdi.

Tip: if your VLE or Google Drive shows code instead of the page, download the HTML file and open it in any browser.
