Free Christmas Spanish Song book!!!

Just for a week I am giving away my Cancionero Navideno (sorry, no enies), it has 15 traditional songs in Spanish with an English translation.
I also have free mp3's of some of the songs, click here.

Hope you enjoy them!

Day of the dead

In honor of the Day of the Dead we colored paper skulls, you can print your own skull! Every time the kids switch crayons they had to say the color they wanted in Spanish, when they were done coloring, they told the class all the colors they used.

Parts of the face

This week we studied the parts of the face: ojos, nariz, boca, orejas & cabello. I used a face drawing that I made that has removable parts. Then I used Mr. Potato head to practice vocabulary. I have 4 heads so, each kid was able to get their own! After, we used plates (leftover from a party) to draw a face, then I wrote the name of the parts. Here are some pictures!

Shapes board game video

Here's a video of the kids playing the shapes board game:

Last week we only have one class, so we reviewed vocabulary, played some Halloween bingo and then I gave each kid a "Spanish name". Some names don't quite have a direct translation so I tried to find a name that started with the same letter as the child name. I wrote the names on a card an we taped it on our wall. Here's the picture:

Shape board game

I created a board game to practice shapes with the preschoolers and kinders. Here is what I did:

1. Got a $1 poster board at the Dollar store.
2. Divided poster board in 6 parts.
3. Drew shapes in different colors (around 16). Make sure to use all the colors and shapes learned.
4. Marked start & finish.
5. I got a bunch of spider rings left over from Halloween last year, I cut the ring part and I used them for game pieces.
6. Do the same on each part of the poster board, at the end you'll have 6 game boards.

To play:

• Have the children take turns calling out the shape and color of the first shape in their game board. If they name it correctly they can move their game piece on top of that shape, if not, they will stay where they are.
• Do the same for each shape until they get to the last shape.
