Ideas for teachers
-
Add movement to your class and have fun with your students! Research has found that when someone not only hears vocabulary in a foreign language, but expresses it using gestures, they will be more likely to remember it. Check out the guides where I share a description of the movements and activities I use with the songs in my classes to engage the children and make it more fun!
-
Explore the list of the songs by category to easily find the perfect one for your needs: vocabulary, movement, classroom routines, school recitals, spanish story time, Diversity, Earth Day, or sound association.
-
Check out Spanish Playground blog for additional ideas and activities for short Spanish songs and a complete guide for using songs to teach Spanish.
-
Explore playlists on Spotify to find new artist and songs to use in the classroom.
-
Other great blogs to find activities and resources for Spanish teachers are Mundo de Pepita, and Fun for Spanish Teachers.
-
Join a community. You can ask questions and find resources and ideas from Spanish teachers all over the world in Facebook groups like: Teaching Spanish to Children or Profes de Español para Niños.
-
Listen to a Podcast to learn from other language teachers that share their best practices and experiences. My favorite is Language Latte.
