The varied activities were done in the different classes including Spanish Tambola in which the students participated in this traditional game, which served as a fun way to learn and reinforce Spanish vocabulary. The game encouraged teamwork and friendly competition while highlighting language skills. Students were encouraged to bring interesting facts about various Hispanic countries and share engaging Spanish tongue twisters. This initiative allowed them to showcase their research and public speaking skills, while also contributing to lively class discussions.
