Teach Me Gusta with ¡Qué asco!: A 3-Day Spanish Lesson Plan
Published onApr 08, 2026 • • ViewLesson Plansblog posts
If you teach Spanish 1, there’s a pretty good chance you spend part of the year teaching me gusta. And if you’ve been using Wooly for a while, there’s an equally good chance you’ve used ¡Qué asco! to do it.
¡Qué asco! gives students a memorable way to work with me gusta, me gustan, food vocabulary, and reactions to some truly disgusting meals.
If you’ve never seen it, here it is.
But you’ve never taught it like this.
We created a brand-new 3-day lesson plan for ¡Qué asco!, scaffolded across four proficiency levels so it can work from Spanish 1 through Spanish 4.
Instead of jumping straight into the video, the lesson plan builds the story and language first. By the time students watch ¡Qué asco!, they’re ready for what they hear.
Why ¡Qué asco! works for teaching me gusta
¡Qué asco! works especially well for teaching likes and dislikes in Spanish because students have an actual reason to react. The food is strange enough that nobody has to fake an opinion.
They want to say what they like, what they don’t like, and what absolutely disgusts them.
A 3-day Spanish lesson plan for teaching me gusta
There are 12 classroom activities in the plan, plus assessments and extension activities.
The activities build the language and story in a way that makes the video land harder when students finally see it.
Cebollín: build me gusta before students watch
Cebollín is an onion chef with terrible breath.
It’s weird, memorable, and the story was written at four different proficiency levels, so teachers can use it from Spanish 1 through Spanish 4.
More importantly, it builds the exact language students will need for ¡Qué asco!, so by the time they watch the video, they’re truly ready for it.
Roll a Meal: practice me gusta with ridiculous food
Students roll a die to create their own outrageous meals.
It gets absurd fast: jugo de tocino, helado con cucarachas. Students can’t help but react and use the language.
Assessments, extensions, and more
Want to go beyond the three days?
You’ll find built-in listening, speaking, reading, and writing assessments, plus extension activities that get students speaking and writing with high-frequency verbs like gustar.
Other updates to ¡Qué asco!
This isn’t just a new set of lesson plans. We also updated the full experience around them.
Nugget realignment
We’ve realigned the language in the Nuggets to match the new plans.
So after students complete the lessons, the eLearning activities reinforce language they already understand instead of introducing new confusion.
We also changed one lyric in ¡Qué asco!
We re-recorded one line in the song:
The new line keeps the joke, but removes a connotation we never intended.
