This is a nice craft activity or simply a finger rhyme. There is a lovely version of this song by Grupo Encanto on Cantajuego Volume 4. You can see it on the 2nd half of the video linked above.

Simple statements which can be introduced with pictures, acted out in a drama class, then followed up by illustrating a mini book. The document is printed on both sides of one sheet, then it will cut down the middle long-ways to fold into a book.

The materials here allow learners to create a beautiful wheel that they can turn to learn the words below. The song is logicallly linked to the English version, but not a direct translation.

Blow up the clothes dolly, laminate and give each child a set of clothes to cut out. Then choose an item of clothing each day to 'do' the set of activities to, by moving pieces from one instruction sheet to another using bluetack.

Tangram on a grid

Learners use Spanish words for shapes and numbers, and give each other instructions to create the shape using language only (no peeping). Encourage the use of Spanglish - use the Spanish words you can and the English words to supplement.

I present the shapes and each child should draw the relevant shape next to the word on their sheet. Learners then give each other instructions using some Spanish to build the given shape with the material given (playdough etc.)

Guess who has the golden card

(0)
Give each child a sheet to cut up, and 5 white slips and one yellow slip. Children play in teams, hiding the slips under the people on the cards, telling the team members who has the golden card and why, then trying to remember where each person has hidden the card.

Let it rain Spanish song

Activities built around the traditional song 'Qué llueva' requiring learners to put drops in a bucket, trace a bucket, listen to a story about animals hiding in a cave from the rain, colour some weather picutres, and sing the song (simplified version) I have put my own rough recording to help you with the tune, though you could look for it on youtube.

There are 3 games on the sheet. Game 1, each child chooses 4 items of clothing from the illustrated vocab given, and writes them in game 1 column. Then the first learners to tick off their 4 items are the winners.

Hunt the treasure on Treasure Island

Learners need to place their treasure and hunt for it using coordinates. Clues can be given out using the hot, warm, cold system, which can then transform into a physical game in a large room.

There are sentences to trace over and space for children to put their faces. I like to get passport photos of the children and they can cut out their faces and stick them in.
All Red - for Spanish speaking teachers.

All Red - for Spanish speaking teachers.

The idea is for the children to colour strips of paper as the words indicate (all red, mostly red, a little red) and then cut them out. The learners follow the teacher's Spanish instructions to make shapes with their strips of paper.

I teach the body parts with a game of simon says. The learners match body parts to words on a sheet, then after a quick revision of numbers 1-5 learners comment on the monsters. Then they choose one or more monsters to draw.
