The lesson combines the celebration of Spain’s 2026 World Cup victory with a review of the main Spanish 1 topics, while giving students plenty of opportunities to practice Spanish and get to know their classmates.

Here’s what you’ll find in Campeones del mundo:

• An engaging 3:45-minute video filmed in Madrid as the world champions celebrate in the streets with the trophy.

  It includes authentic interviews with questions that review several important structures and question words, such as ¿Dónde viste el partido? ¿Cómo está este entrevistado? ¿Cuál es tu jugador favorito?

• A highly visual warm-up to introduce the topic and get students brainstorming Spanish words and phrases from the very beginning.

• A graphic story that revisits what happened during the final. Students match short texts with pictures while reviewing key vocabulary from the lesson.

• An activity to review question words such as qué, quién, cómo, dónde, cuándo and por qué—essential language for interacting with their classmates.

• A self-grading Google Form to check students’ comprehension of the video. Let them watch, answer the questions, and see how much Spanish they remember!

• A Find Someone Who… activity that gives students the opportunity to practice what they have reviewed while having simple, meaningful conversations with their classmates.

• A self-check document that helps students reflect on what they can already do in Spanish and identify what they may need to review.
