The Gender of Nouns

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Yes, a puzzle! Kids of all ages love completing puzzles, even if they're linked to work. This grid focuses on the definite articles el, la, los, or las. For each of about 40 nouns listed, pupils must find the appropriate square and shade it according to which definite article is used with the verb. Unfortunately, it is not linked with the answer sheet, so you will probably need to complete it first to have an idea of what the fniished product should look like.
