Los fines de semana (Weekends)

Learning Objectives Identify and name at least 5 common weekend activities in Spanish. Use the present tense 'yo' form of regular -AR verbs to describe their own weekend activities (e.g., 'Yo juego...'). Use simple adjectives to describe activities and foods, making them agree with the noun (e.g., 'pizza deliciosa'). Ask and answer the question '¿Qué haces los fines de semana?' (What do you do on weekends?). Form simple sentences combining an activity verb with a noun (e.g., 'Yo miro la televisión'). Recognize vocabulary for places related to weekend activities, such as 'el parque' and 'el cine'. ¡Hola! ¿Qué te gusta hacer cuando no hay escuela? 🥳 Let's talk about all the fun things we do on weekends...

TermDefinitionExample JugarTo play, like playing a game or a sport.Yo juego con mis amigos en el parque. (I play with my friends in the park.) MirarTo watch or to look at.Yo miro la televisión los sábados. (I watch television on Saturdays.) ComerTo eat.Yo como pizza los fines de semana. (I eat pizza on the weekends.) El parqueThe park, a place with grass, trees, and maybe a playground.Vamos al parque para jugar. (We go to the park to play.) El fin de semanaThe weekend, which includes Saturday (sábado) and Sunday (domingo).Me gusta el fin de semana porque no hay escuela. (I like the weekend because there is no school.) Delicioso / DeliciosaDelicious, something that tastes very good.La hamburguesa es deliciosa. (The hamburger is delicious.)

Present Tense 'Yo' form for -AR Verbs Take the -AR off the verb and add -O. When you talk about what *you* do, you change the end of the verb. For verbs like 'mirar' (to watch), you take off the 'ar' and add 'o' to make 'miro' (I watch). Adjective Agreement (Singular) Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. If a noun is feminine (often ends in -a), the adjective should also be feminine (often ends in -a). In Spanish, describing words have to match the word they describe. For example, 'la pizza' is a feminine word, so you say 'la pizza es deliciosa', not 'delicioso'.
