Tagging on to what Troy has here, I have my kiddos keep track of words that
they recognize and then we create a vocab list based on what they heard and do
an exercise using circumlocution to explain the vocab rather than translate it.
The kids really enjoy the fact that they can understand bits and pieces and
often times even more, depending on their level.
Hope you feel better soon!

JoAnna,
I've shown regular familiar movies in Spanish like "Finding Nemo," "Legally
Blonde," "Elf," (good for this season) etc. The more familiar, the better,
because they won't get lost even though everything is in L2. You can develop
comprehension questions, have kids write their own questions, or (less prep)
just go with something as simple as having kids write down vocabulary they hear
repeatedly. You can then have them explore the vocabulary by drawing it,
writing circumlocutions of it, writing their own stories using it, etc.
Another possibility would just be having kids write stories using recent
vocabulary. You can leave it open ended, or create a topic for them to go
with. Around Day of the Dead I had kids write stories about their skeleton
cutout dolls we'd made. They were pretty fun. Some kids' stories included
skeletons having trouble with dogs always trying to chew their bones, etc.
I hope you feel better soon and have a full recovery over break.
