I have an UNO-maniac in my house – he ALWAYS wants to play UNO! I love the game, but after a while the homeschooling part of me wonders if I can make the game more educational (not that it doesn’t have educational value on its own). So, I simply started speaking Spanish when we played.
Now, let me tell you how much Spanish I know: Un Poco. A little. A tiny smidge. I probably couldn’t successfully ask where to find a bathroom. I do know numbers and colors and after ‘un poco’ research, I learned a few related phrases like “your turn,” which I say eleventy-million times when we play.
Here are the words we are working on (available in a Cheat Sheet):
