Here are some fun activities to try in Spanish class:
• Have the children move around the room while saying marcha (march)¬ and have them stop by saying para (stop). Do the same with the other actions: salta (jump), arriba (put hands up), abajo (put hands down), adentro (go inside the circle), afuera (go outside the circle).
• Use a parachute for active play or a sheet, and have the children do the previous actions. Place an object in the middle of the parachute/fabric, preferable an object related to the themes explore before (numbers, colors, animals, etc) to link the lessons.
September 21st is the International Day of Peace. What a great opportunity to make it a teachable moment and connect our Spanish curriculum to this important celebration. We can get our students thinking about peace and what it means by a simple project where they can also involve their new language skills.
This is a very simple craft children can personalize, take home, and share more with their families. It’s a very simple necklace made of cardboard and yarn.
Click on the picture below to download the template for your students to use to create their own necklaces.
Colombian singer, Juanes has a beautiful song called “Paz, Paz, Paz.” Put together a sing-along using this song or use it as background music while the children put their necklace activity together.
Somos la nueva semilla del futuro, de la vida,
Somos los niños que cantan por la paz y la esperanza.
Somos la nueva semilla del futuro, de la vida.
Somos los niños que cantan por la paz y la esperanza.

Chants are a great way to provide space for repetition and also put sentences that sometimes could be boring to practice into a rhythm and context. Plus, chants help memory!
I learned from Mama World that this song is called “Ambó Ató,” and it is based on a traditional song that has its origins in France and later was translated and sung in many Spanish speaking countries.
The rhythm of this song is very catchy and can easily be used to involve everyone in class. Just create new sentences and replace the main sentences in the song and get ready to have your class singing.
