Bundle: Christmas & New Year's in Spanish-speaking Countries

This bundle is a collection of holiday-themed emergency substitute packets and puzzles for Spanish teachers.

Are you a Spanish teacher in a hurry? Often, it can be very difficult to make substitute plans for a foreign language class. We want our students to be able to answer the questions without feeling the need to translate. These are packets ready for you to print and go when you are in need of an emergency sub plan.
