Acción Fantastica
Stand up and go find an object such as a sponge ball or pillow.
Agarra (grab) it. Tira (throw) al suelo. Make sure to say the Spanish words aloud as you do this.
When you do these actions and say the words aloud, it physically reinforces the new Spanish vocabulary that you have learned. Learning by doing an action increases the speed of retention.
