Telling Time in Two Languages
Helping young children learn with this fun clock from Target and my bilingual children’s song that teaches Spanish and English is so rewarding! Enjoy these suggested circle time activities (right from my web site’s free bilingual resource area):
This is an echo song. I ask the children if they remember what an echo is. I praise the correct answer person and ask them to be my echo in this fun song about telling time in Spanish and English. If the children are old enough to get the concept, they can act out the time of day while singing about it. We hold our arms out in the position of 8 o’clock, then straight above our heads for 12 o’clock, then pointing down towards the ground for 6:30.
We will continue to explore some other ways to bring this language learning fun to life as the week rolls along. For instance, have you seen this adorable board book with the same title as my Boca Beth song: What Time Is It? / ¿Qué hora es? Very cool!

Happy Educating! ¡Sea feliz educando!
