Help your Spanish students learn the preterite by having them figure out what chores different people have done. Learn such chores as: washing and drying dishes, cutting the lawn, cleaning the garage, doing the laundry, cleaning your room, taking out the trash, making the bed, sweeping and mopping the floor, vacuuming, walking the dog, setting the table, ironing the clothes, cooking, and dusting. Even the family cat did his part!
