Inside the Un día en Palenque Activity Book: A Sneak Peek!

Want a sneak peek inside the Un día en Palenque Student Activity Book? 👀

A colorful scene depicting two women in vibrant traditional attire engaging in a friendly exchange under a thatched roof, while a third woman observes in the background. The foreground features a woman with purple hair and a colorful woven piece on her lap.

I’m almost at the finish line, and I couldn’t wait to share a few highlights! These activities are designed to pair with the novel — but some pieces will also work as a standalone unit, so you have flexibility no matter how you plan.

If you’re building a unit on Colombia, looking to bring more diversity into your curriculum, or wanting to highlight ancestral practices in Afro-Latino communities, this activity book was made with your classroom in mind.

Here are some of the activities I’m most excited about! 👇
