Quiz Friday at Dime

At Dime, we’re always looking for fun ways to learn and practise Spanish.
During the month of July, in our intensive Spanish courses, Friday mornings are special: we always organise new and surprising activities that combine learning and fun. So… why not a game show? How about a “Pasapalabra” Rosco combined with other challenges?

We divided the students into two teams and got started. We kicked things off with our "Rosco" , where teams took turns guessing words. Between each round of the "Rosco", we added other fun challenges. The first was Pictionary, but with a twist: two contestants (one from each team) had to draw the same secret word on the board at the same time, while their teams tried to guess it. The first team to get it right won the point. The pressure and the speed-drawing made us laugh out loud!

Next came more words from the rosco, followed by a miming round. This time, one contestant from each team sat in a chair facing away from the board. Their teammates had to act out a secret word (the same for both teams) using only gestures. If the drawings were funny, the miming was absolutely hilarious!

The final challenge was a Spanish culture quiz. Each team had to choose the correct answer from several options. The questions were wonderfully varied — from “Who brings gifts to children on January 6th?” to “What are the ingredients of gazpacho?”, and even “Which song did Massiel win Eurovision with?” (Spoiler alert: La, la, la). We must say, the students did an amazing job!

It was a different kind of class — fun, dynamic and full of positive energy. We all learned, we practised Spanish, and we had a fantastic time. We’ll definitely do it again soon!
