I had great success doing March Music Madness so I am going to try Navidad TV Commercial Madness. Here is my plan:
- Show two commercials in one class and the students will vote for their favorite.
- Read the transcript of each commercial before watching it. This way they will vote for both the visual and the meaning of the commercial. While reading, I will do some comprehension checks.
- Watch each commercial. I recommend using keepvid.com to download each commercial.
- Vote for the best one!

This is awesome! Muchísimas gracias!
Thank you so much for this!! We did it every day to start our class!! The kids loved it (and I did too!). Our championship was between Liverpool: Deseos de Navidad (they liked the song!) and the Lotería commercial with Antonio y Manuel. And believe it or not, the Lottery won as our grand champion! Thanks for sharing. Feliz Navidad. 🙂 (PS — What won in your classes?? )
Thanks for the comment! We will crown the champion next week on Wednesday. The Loteria one has been a favorite.
Our champion was an exact tie between the Coca Cola commercial and the Iberia commercial. We’ll see who the real winner is upon polling another few classes.
