Rappin’ the Spanish Alphabet ~ Lyrics for this song
(original beat – remember that most of our music is set to children’s classic melodies – not this one!!!! It’s a rap song with children singers adding to the bilingual fun!)

Suggested circle time activity to do hand-in-hand with this fun Boca Beth song:

A fun and easy to understand song that brings the ABCs in Spanish to life. The reason this song is not bilingual is because the alphabets in English and Spanish differ quite a bit on certain letters so that there is no direct point of reference that would be easy for a preschool age child nor an elementary school age child to understand.

We free form dance our way through it or if you are feeling “creative” and “brave” you create the dance steps and it becomes a “you do what I do” lesson with lots of smiles and laughs (not to mention the early literacy skills involved as the children recognize sounds of letters in another language – allowing the child to better comprehend his own native language sounds).

There are visual aids to assist with this introduction of ABCs in Spanish that are sold at local learning stores or on web sites like www.lakeshorelearning.com - based on the age of children you are introducing the Spanish ABCs to will determine what you should get.
