UPDATED RESOURCE!!!
 
Bring the topic of Los festivales y las tradiciones to life with this comprehensive Edexcel A Level Spanish resource on La Tomatina. The lesson combines cultural knowledge, genuine Spanish reading material and focused grammar practice, giving students plenty of opportunities to develop their language skills in context. Pearson’s Edexcel A Level Spanish qualification places emphasis on developing students’ language skills alongside cultural understanding.
 
The resource contains 12 classroom activities, including:
- Genuine Spanish reading texts about La Tomatina, its traditions and its origins
- Translation from Spanish into English
- True/false and multiple-choice comprehension activities
- Vocabulary gap-fill activities
- A full present-tense grammar revision section
- Video links to provide additional visual and cultural context.
- Homework

The lesson deliberately links the cultural topic to grammar, using La Tomatina as a context for revising both regular and irregular present-tense verbs, rather than teaching grammar in isolation.
 
Perfect for: Year 12 / AS-level Spanish, Edexcel A Level Spanish, and lessons on festivals, traditions and Spanish-speaking countries.
