Summer in Spanish
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Parents have always asked me to include a summer class in our regular programs. Summer is a fun time, when children play, so teaching Spanish in the summer, means adding Spanish to fun activities children love!
I hope you enjoy my vocabulary list and suggestions:
El Sol – Sun
La Playa – Beach
La Sombrilla- the umbrella
La crema – the lotion
La arena – the sand
El Castillo- The castle
El Mar – The sea
El Calor- The heat
A few activities which can be used when teaching summer and beach themes are:
*Use colored sand and have them cover the word playa for example
*Buy precut fish craft and have them put it together, teaching fish and other sea animals
*Buy plastic fishing kit, they children will love to go fishing and learn about water and animals
*Beach Ball can be used to be passed, each student will need to say a beach word in Spanish when you stop the song
I also use some songs such as, vamos a la playa, la bamba, que calor to bring some flavor to the activities.
I hope you enjoyed my suggestions, please post your comments and suggestions.
