Every year, I like to watch a film with my students—no matter their level. Choosing the right film is key: it has to be something they enjoy, something that captures their attention. Of course, most of them prefer to watch with Spanish subtitles (their mother tongue), but I always encourage them to give English subtitles a try. In my experience, this makes a huge difference in improving listening skills and expanding vocabulary.
One of my favourite classroom films is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It’s fun, full of action, and perfect for keeping students engaged from beginning to end.
Here you can find the English trailer and a link to the teaching material I’ve designed to go along with the film.
I hope you and your students enjoy it as much as we do!
