Good communicative activities for younger learners
When looking at Kaki's blog about teaching Spanish, I found a site that I think teachers of any language would greatly benefit from. Online Resources for Teachers of Spanish has many different communicative activities listed for different units you would find in a beginner textbook. You need a little bit of Spanish to navigate the site because the tabs are in Spanish ("La comida", "El alfabeto"), but the descriptions are in English and it is pretty apparent what the unit is about once you click on the tab. The actual activity suggestions are for Spanish, but many of them involve things present in American culture, like Hangman and the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"). I think it would be pretty simple to get ideas from here and tailor them to whatever language classroom you're in.

I love the activities on there. So much variety and very little negative reinforcement (only has gold stars and "CORRECT!", not big red X's). The little "days of the week" matching game I found would be great for beginning level classes but also could be an idea you could easily convert into the classroom. And with nearly 0 Spanish and could start learning today! Nice find.
