If your students are all from Spain, why not (for the first lesson) draw a rough outline of Spain on the board and get each student to mark where they were born and then talk about the town, area and then themselves, the others can ask questions.  If they are beginners let them do it in Spanish, the most important thing on the first day is to get to know each other.  Then pass round a piece of paper for them to write down their objectives for the course.  

 

Good idea to test their grammar, that �s always been my priority and then finish off with perhaps an exercise on how to ask questions and get them up and moving around the class asking each other questions and making notes of the answers.  If their level is good enough some of them could report back to the class what they have found out about the others!  Don �t forget to include yourself in this introduction.

 

There are plenty of worksheets for conversation here on the site, but I �d be happy to send you some of mine by email if you send me a PM.
