Description (English):

Welcome to Find Teddy!, an interactive Genially escape room designed to help students learn and reinforce basic vocabulary in Basque (Euskera) and Spanish (Castellano) in a fun and engaging way.

Objective:

The main goal of this escape room is to find Teddy, a lost teddy bear, by successfully completing a series of vocabulary-based challenges. The game is divided into four lessons, each focusing on different thematic vocabulary sets (e.g., school, food, colors, emotions).

As players progress through each lesson, they must solve questions and activities using the vocabulary they've learned. These may include matching games, multiple choice quizzes, word-picture associations, and mini puzzles. Every correct answer brings them closer to discovering clues about Teddy’s location.

Final Challenge:

Only by completing all four lessons can players unlock the final challenge, where they must use everything they’ve learned to find and rescue Teddy. The journey is both a linguistic adventure and a fun narrative experience that motivates students to keep learning and improving their Euskera and Spanish skills.

Learning goals:

• Reinforce basic vocabulary in both Basque and Spanish.

• Improve comprehension and recall through gamified repetition.

• Foster bilingual learning in an immersive and entertaining format.

Encourage autonomy and engagement in the learning process.

This Kahoot game is designed to help students learn and reinforce basic vocabulary and everyday expressions in both English and Spanish (Castellano) in a dynamic, interactive way.

The quiz includes a variety of questions that cover key language elements such as greetings, classroom objects, colors, days of the week, simple verbs, and common daily expressions. The aim is to promote bilingual competence, boost confidence, and make learning fun and fast-paced through competition and repetition.

The game can be used as a warm-up activity, a revision tool, or even as an assessment at the end of a unit.

2. Students join the game using a smartphone, tablet, or computer, entering the PIN and a nickname.

3. The Kahoot includes a set of multiple-choice questions, each with a time limit to keep the pace quick and exciting.

4. Questions alternate between English and Spanish, asking students to:

   • Match vocabulary with pictures

   • Choose the correct translation

   • Complete simple expressions

   • Identify mistakes or false friends

5. Players earn points for correct answers and for speed.

6. At the end of the game, the top-scoring players are shown on the podium!

7. The teacher can review the results to identify areas that may need extra practice.

Irregular Verbs Spin Challenge is a dynamic and engaging classroom game to review and practice irregular verbs in English using a digital spinning wheel.

Each spin reveals the base form of an irregular verb, and students must recall and say the rest of the information: past simple, past participle, translation in Spanish, and a complete sentence using the verb.

It’s a perfect activity to reinforce grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and oral production in a fun and interactive way—ideal for revision sessions, warm-ups, or speaking practice.
