Match Spanish words and heritage terms with their meanings.
Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15, marking the independence anniversaries of several Latin American nations. These pairs mix Spanish vocabulary with the language of cultural heritage.
Students pair Spanish and English terms with meanings: CULTURA with the traditions a community shares, MUSICA with salsa, mariachi, and bachata, and LEGACY with what one generation passes to the next.
Invite students to add a pair of their own from a tradition in their family, in any language. The matching game gives everyone a shared starting vocabulary, and the additions make the display genuinely theirs.
