Has Spanish become your favorite language and you want to improve your Spanish with fun group learning methods? If so, you're in luck, because in this article we'll show you the best games to learn Spanish and enjoy a lively activity with your study buddies.

Board games are one of the learning methods we implement at Sprachcaffe Spanish schools, as they are resources and activities that our international students enjoy the most. Using educational games to learn Spanish plays a key role, as our students lose their embarrassment and work as a team to achieve the game's objectives. Here's our list of the best educational board games for learning Spanish, based on your level of Spanish.

Games to learn Spanish - Basic Level (A1, A2)

If you've decided to learn Spanish from scratch or have a basic level, the best option to start and assimilate the language is to take a Spanish course in a Spanish-speaking country or an online Spanish course if you're unable to travel at the moment. Little by little, you'll understand and acquire more everyday Spanish vocabulary and expressions.

VISUAL DICTIONARIES

Have you ever heard of visual dictionaries? This educational resource will help you easily assimilate more vocabulary and learn Spanish quickly because, according to experts, we remember concepts better when we visualize them and associate them with objects. Educational board games for learning Spanish at a basic level are essential for replacing textbooks with a fun group activity.

We recommend a series of visual games for pairs that teach basic concepts like time, professions, clothing, the human body, colors, and numbers.

Games to Learn Spanish - Intermediate level (B1, B2)

If you already have an intermediate level of Spanish, you're certainly already able to understand and maintain deeper conversations, so let's spice things up a bit and focus the methodology on more difficult tasks like descriptions, wordplay, and much more.

WHO'S WHO?
The famous board game "Guess Who" is probably one of the most popular games; today, you can find this type of game in any language and with fictional or real characters. The game is based on guessing your opponent's secret personality. How do you guess? By asking questions that physically describe the character. For example: "Are you a man? Do you wear glasses? Do you have blond hair?" Your opponent can only answer with yes or no. Only one question can be asked per turn. Only one question can be asked at a time. Why is this game effective for learning Spanish? Because students build sentences and learn to describe people.

DOBBLE
Are you quick with your hands and your mind? Then you need to join our Spanish courses and play "Dobble" with us. If you want to practice your vocabulary in a fun way, this educational board game for learning Spanish is the best option. Cards with repeating colors, shapes, and designs. To get them, you have to compare them, identify the repeated element, and say it out loud as you pick up the card. Sounds easy? Then try to do it before your classmates-or, rather, your rivals.

HAVE YOU KNOWN WHAT GAME?
You know that game where everyone puts a card on their head with the image or name of a famous person or character? Yes, we're talking about the game "Who am I?", also called "Who's on my mind?" If you join us, you can have fun playing and practicing Spanish. This educational game involves guessing which famous person or character touched you, but there's one requirement: you can only ask questions with a yes or no answer. Are you up for it?

Games to Learn Spanish - Advanced Level (C1, C2)

If you have an advanced level of Spanish, you'll have no problem understanding, creating sentences, and solving puzzles quickly within a time limit.

TABÚ
The board game Tabú is another classic educational board game that offers the greatest benefits for learning Spanish. It will teach you new skills in thinking and organizing your ideas, as well as improving your response speed. It's a team game where one team member must explain to their teammates so they can guess the word in their letter. However, there are some rules they don't have to follow, as they have a series of words (usually synonyms of the word they're trying to guess) that they can't mention in their speech, and to make matters worse, the clock is ticking.

PUEBLO DUERME
Are you good at lying and could you convince your classmates that you didn't kill anyone? If your answer to both questions is "yes," then you must come to class to test your Spanish and fool everyone with your cunning by playing "Pueblo duerme" or "El juego de lobos." A village goes to sleep every night, unaware that danger threatens. Every night, wolves hunt and kill a farmer. When they wake, everything is a mystery: who died, who killed, who is innocent? Use your arguments to defend or attack. Only one side can win: are you ready to do so?

Conclusions

Learning Spanish through educational board games is a fun learning method that will help you increase your vocabulary, work in a team, and improve your confidence when speaking Spanish.

In addition to Spanish learning games, we believe that the best way to learn Spanish is a language trip to Spain or online Spanish courses.
