A-Z Game: Summertime!

votes

Everyone loves summertime, so here's a game to remind us of all the good things we can do, eat, see, etc.!

R U L E S

  • Post a word in Spanish or English that is associated with summertime and give its counterpart in the other language. For example, if you post "Zoo" in English, don't forget to post "Zoológico" in Spanish.

  • Post a sentence in both Spanish and English.

  • Follow the other posts alphabetically. For example, post a "D" word following a "C" word.

  • Click on Newest to see what letter is next.

  • Post a picture, if you'd like.

  • Have fun!


My word:

Afuera (outside)

I prefer to spend my time outdoors during the summertime.

Prefiero pasar mi tiempo afuera duante el verano.

Langosta - lobster

It is great to eat lobster in the summer, too bad I am allergic to it.

Es estupendo comer la langosta en el verano, que lastima que soy alérgica a ella.
