I have written some blog posts in the past that provide more background and introduce you to some activities you may use to bring this celebration into your classroom.
Last, but not least, there is a presentation for you to introduce your students to this beautiful celebration. Click HERE to download it!

Christmas Songs in Spanish

Yes! I can’t believe! It’s that time of the year again! Smells like Christmas, one of my favorite times in the year. I am excited about all the new videos that came out on YouTube, and the best parts is that many of then include the lyrics which makes it perfect for a sing along. Some of the songs could be a little bit fast, so I recommend that you change the speed of the video on YouTube. You have to make sure you open the video on YouTube, once you are there, click on the settings icon, then click on speed and change from “normal” to “0.5”. You are now with a perfect speed and the song still sounds great!  

Here are some of my favorite songs! If you have one that you would like me to add to the list, please share it with me in the comments.
