The idea

Ask an adult to read each meaning and show or draw the object.

Step by step
  1. Ask an adult to read each meaning and show or draw the object.
  2. Study these pairs: the ball → la pelota; the doll → la muñeca; the train → el tren; the block → el bloque; the kite → la cometa; the jigsaw puzzle → el rompecabezas.
  3. Match each object with its written Spanish expression, including el or la.
  4. Cover the English words and use the objects to recall the Spanish labels; regional alternatives may also exist.
