Those who teach Spanish as a foreign language
 
Hello, how are you?
Once again I need your help, but in particulary those who teach Spanish as a foreign language, or even if u are a native spanish speaker.
I �m at University again taking a Spanish degree and one of the teachers asked to a work to present in class. My work is going be about los demonstrativos - adjetivos y pronombres and I have to create 4 activities to present them to class. The teacher emphasized that he didn �t want exercises, but activities. I have thought that maybe I �m going to present to the class some sentences using the demonstratives (adjectives) and them they have to rewrite them using the pronouns. I have also thought about giving them a song to complete using the demonstratives, the problem is that I don �t know a spanish song which I can work with. And that �s it!!!! I have no idea of what I can do to present the demonstratives in spanish, I need 4 activities  and I only have one at the moment. Exercises such as fill in the gaps are out of the question for the teacher...
we don �t have a specific level to work with, beginner, intermediate, both are possible
 
Any suggestions? Feel free to send me a private message if you prefer
 
Thanks a lot in advance
 
Take care

This is how I teach them in English.
I write a short... very short explanation on the board, basically just examples and a few arrows. I divide the board on 4.

All the while, i make them practice the examples. Then, on a table in front of them I put a bunch of things that they need to request from me, to some students I ask them to come close so that they say this (este).

Example:

�qu� te gustar�a de lo hay en esta mesa?

Ese

(muestras el equivocado) ��ste?

no, ese rojo de la derecha.

You have to tell them that they can �t get what they are asking for if they don �t use the domonstrative adjective or pronoun.

And I don �t personally like this song... but it has demonstratives.

Hello, Morganalin. Perhaps you can use "A esa"by Pimpinela to teach demonstratives. Hugs from Argentina, Lagringa.
