Pasacalle is a Spanish course for children from 8 to 11 years in four levels. Topics introduced are very close to the world of children: family, friends, home, school, food, animals, games and parties. Linguistic contents (lexical and thematic) are adapted to the age and the level of ability to write and read of the children. There is classification of contents from the first level (vocabulary of 250 words) to the fourth one (vocabulary of 1000 words). Students will learn gradually with games, and creative and varied activities. All of them have a suggestive design and entertaining didactic suggestions. Handcraft activities include drawing, sticking, folding, cutting, circling, numbers, etc. There is encouragement of social values such as: respect for others, racial, social and sexual equality, love for nature. Each level consists of a student book, an exercises book, a tutor's manual and CDs. Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 share each a 'carpeta'. It contains 'Carpetas Pasacalle 1 + 2; 3 + 4: Folders' to practice vocabulary by topics. There are two versions: one for teachers and another one for students. Both folders contain the vocabulary illustrated sheets from every lesson of the student's book. The teacher's folder includes five board games for classroom use.
