Spanish field trip

I am an elementary school Spanish teacher and would love to plan a field trip for one of my grades. Any suggestions for something related to the subject area?

TIA

maybe something like a trip to the grocery store or other thing in the community but gear it towards vocabulary? make a scavenger hunt of items and they have to find them, but only give them the words in SPanish? (that might be to ohard for your kids, i don't know?)

or perhaps a restaurant (mexican for example) where they could speak basic Spanish with staff and read off the menu?

Don Juan's in Westbury (across from the Source Mall) does like a lunch/bingo activity (or at least they did when I student taught in 2001). It's geared towards younger/earlier Spanish learners and very cute. The winners get sombreros.

I also received something in the mail from the Tilles Center at C.W. Post about a Flamenco presentation - maybe you could take them on a trip to see that?

I know the Repertorio Espanol in the city does plays and other activities, but that is probably too advanced for elementary school children.

I remember waaaay back in the day in 8th grade my spanish teacher took us to a spanish resturaunt as a field trip. It was in Corona, thats all I really remember.But I guess any Spanish Resturaunt will do.

Thanks for the ideas!

We actually go to a Mexican restaurant each year and the kids LOVE it! I will check out the performance at the Tilles Center.

Thanks!
