  Whether you have a bi-lingual classroom or home or you just want to expand your student's or child's horizons, adding Spanish-language activities to your Thanksgiving celebration can help both you and your children or students learn a new language. Although some Thanksgiving Spanish-language activities require a little bit of work, others don't need any words at all.
  
  

Read a Story

• Go to your local library and find a Spanish-language Thanksgiving story to read to your students or children. Some stories are meant to be read together, while others can help with Spanish reading skills. If the library seems like too far to go, online websites like speakspanisheveryday.com and edhelper.com feature stories in both Spanish and English for multiple grade levels.
  
  

Perform a Play

• Although there are only a few Thanksgiving plays that have been translated into Spanish available online, you're not restricted in your choices. Get your students or children interested in the Spanish language by performing a play in Spanish. If you can't find a Thanksgiving play that's already been translated, translate a short one yourself using an online translator, like the Google Translator. However, if you're planning to perform the play in front of a live audience, you may want to have someone who speaks and reads Spanish as her first language read it before you pass out the script or perform the play.
  
  

Sing a Song

• Discover a new Thanksgiving song translated into Spanish online or at the library, or translate one yourself using an online translator. Songs are often short and can be used to introduce students and children to new concepts.
  
  

Do an Activity Without Words

• Thanksgiving activities like coloring pages and craft project don't need words. Have your students or children get creative with a Thanksgiving-inspired project. For ideas, look online. Many websites allow you to use and print Thanksgiving coloring pages and activity worksheets for free.
