Mother’s Day in a whole new language
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012I wanted to change the way we celebrated Mother’s day this year, so my team started spinning wheels and we came up with a super fun class! Hope you can use some of these activities in your classroom or at home!
We start with matching game, cards printed with family member’s pic and name in Spanish.Then we use similar cards to place in a family tree and each student places cards which correspond to their families. Other copies of the cards are placed on children’s back and they pass the ball, when music stops, they need to tell who the family member that student has on their back, who they are? Quien soy yo??? The others answer eres….
We colored a mother’s day page which I am placing here as a free gift to all moms and teachers who follow our blog.
We watched a great video and the older ones had to tell us what family members were missing.

We also sang bingo tune for my version:
Te amo mama, mucho, mucho eres mi mama!
Amo a mi mama! Amo a mi mama, amo a mi mama, Yo amo a mi mama!
We also read this book, they love hearing about Emma’s family! There’s a version without the read along and this one has the read along!
