'Home Alone - Mi Pobre Angelito' Spanish Worksheet - Free Printable
This year, I’ve created a special worksheet that combines my love for teaching, a holiday classic, and a bilingual twist that can engage students of all ages.
As someone who grew up watching the Christmas classic Home Alone (or Mi Pobre Angelito as it’s known in Latin America), I have fond memories of laughing at Kevin McCallister’s wild antics and the heartwarming moments that make the film a staple of the holiday season. It’s one of those movies that transcends generations—my parents loved it, I loved it as a kid, and now my own children eagerly watch it every December. Inspired by this love for Home Alone, I decided to create a worksheet that would not only bring the fun of the film into the classroom, but also help students improve their language skills in Spanish.
The worksheet is divided into two pages, each serving a different purpose. The first page is a bilingual article about Home Alone, where I’ve written a brief summary of the movie, touching on key moments and characters.
The article itself is designed to spark interest in the movie, using simple yet engaging language that highlights the humor and charm of the film. I’ve also included some fun trivia about the making of Home Alone—did you know that Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin, became the highest-paid child actor at the time? Fun facts like these help bring the story to life!
The second page of the worksheet includes exercises to reinforce language comprehension. Students can complete activities such as true or fals questions, answering questions about the plot, and completing a mini crossword with Christmas-themed words.
You might be wondering: why Home Alone? Aside from the obvious holiday connection, I chose this movie because it offers so much material to work with. From the hilarious traps set by Kevin to the touching moments when he reconnects with his family, Home Alone is filled with opportunities to explore language in action. The scenes are memorable and packed with emotions, which makes it easy for students to stay engaged.
Creating this worksheet was also a fun, nostalgic trip down memory lane for me. Watching Home Alone over the years has been a family tradition, and I’ve seen it from a different perspective as I grew older. As a child, I was captivated by the slapstick humor and all the clever ways Kevin outsmarts the burglars. Now, as an adult, I notice the subtle moments of warmth between Kevin and his family, especially his relationship with his mother. It’s one of those films that grows with you.
If you’re a teacher looking for a fun and engaging Christmas activity, or simply someone who wants to bring a little extra holiday cheer into their lesson plans, I highly recommend checking out this Home Alone worksheet. It’s a great way to introduce students to the magic of language and the classic holiday film that has brought joy to millions.
So, grab your copy, enjoy the antics of Kevin McCallister, and get ready for a holiday-themed learning adventure! Whether you’re teaching English, Spanish, or just looking to infuse some holiday cheer into your lessons, this worksheet is sure to make this holiday season a little brighter.
Happy holidays, and may your Home Alone moments be filled with laughter and joy! 🎄🎅
