Jumpstart Authentic Conversation with Spanish Rejoinders

Instead of asking his students to answer with “sí” or “no,” Grant Boulanger gives them a much broader range of responses—“claro que sí,” “no me digas,” “qué asco,” “qué extraño,” and many more! He has found that having a large repertoire of common phrases helps students to express themselves in ways that are emotionally and situationally appropriate, and makes them feel like real Spanish speakers. Grant recommends that you begin the year with the green set, then introduce a new set every two months. Each set contains four 12 x 18-inch pieces, with four rejoinders on each piece (16 per set), and an 8 x 11-inch sheet that lists the expressions and their English translations. Hang as whole sheets or cut apart.

Available Spanish Rejoinder Sets:

  • Rejoinder Spanish Posters Green Set: Basic expressions.
  • Rejoinder Spanish Posters Yellow Set: Phrases to invite questions.
  • Rejoinder Spanish Posters Blue Set: Phrases with attitude.
  • Rejoinder Spanish Posters Red Set: Phrases kids love.
  • All 4 Sets of Rejoinder Spanish Posters: Green, Yellow, Blue, and Red

Spanish. Beginning, Intermediate. Each set includes four 12 x 18-inch posters printed on 100# glossy cover stock.

You’ve never seen verb posters like this before!

Speaking naturally, in all tenses, from the very first day is a tenet of Teaching with Comprehensible Input. Historically, products have assumed our students cannot or should not mix tenses. In fact, by limiting beginners to the present tense, we cripple them.

If we are communicating for meaning students acquire the tenses they need. These colorful verb posters of HIGH FREQUENCY Spanish verbs will help you remember to speak naturally and will help your students begin to acquire the most commonly used verbs immediately!

I have used these posters in my level 1 classroom since 2011 and students are picking up and applying “ir + infinitive” with greater facility. They are effective tools when presented with Point and Pause, over the course of a school year. Students love having them as a resource for Free Writes.

No matter with whom or where our students engage in Spanish, whether at their local grocery or on an exchange program, they need to know these verbs backwards and forwards.
