Incorporating cultural crafts into the language classroom helps students connect with the traditions and customs of Spanish-speaking cultures while practising the language in a fun and hands-on way.
Making colourful Mexican sombreros for Cinco de Mayo gives students the chance to explore the history and meaning of these celebrations while using related vocabulary and instructions in the target language. These creative activities not only make learning more engaging but also build cultural appreciation, helping students see language as a living part of people’s everyday lives and celebrations.
