Spooky Spanish: Interactive Werewolf Family

An interactive KS3 Spanish homework on family and ordinal numbers: meet Argentina’s lobizón, the seventh son who becomes a werewolf!

Is the seventh son a werewolf? In Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, legend says the seventh son of a family turns into a lobizón on full-moon nights. And here’s a fun fact: the President of Argentina can become godparent to seventh sons and daughters!

Three short, self-checking tasks:
• Lee y descubre: two short texts with tap-to-translate words and audio, a keyword match and true/false.
• La familia de Mateo: read the family tree and answer questions (¿Cómo se llama…? ¿Quién es…?). Watch out for the trick question!
• ¿Quién es el séptimo hijo?: read the clues and put the seven brothers in order (primer, segundo, tercer…). Get it right and the full moon rises…

What’s included
• Interactive HTML page: works offline in any browser, on computers, tablets and phones
• 1-page worksheet that matches the web page, with a personal “my family” challenge
• Teacher page with answers, a cultural note, and the texts with translations
• Optional student vocab list (2 per page, to print and cut)

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

Language covered: family members; ¿Cómo se llama? Se llama…; tener + siblings; ordinal numbers 1st–7th (including primer / tercer).

Flexible use: homework, a starter or plenary, cover lessons, or a Halloween lesson (15–20 minutes). It also fits neatly into a family unit.

Part of the Spooky Spanish series: Fiestas misteriosas, spooky celebrations and legends from Spain and Latin America, including Los Alebrijes and La Llorona (Mexico), Los Barriletes Gigantes (Guatemala) and Gau Beltza (FREE).
