(For a suggested activity in your preschool classroom, I would divide the group up into sides of the circle or sides of the room to have fun with this song that is off our third bilingual music CD. Maybe all the children whose names begin with A-L on one side, all the children M-Z on the other. Then they chant to each other this fun song about asking friends “What’s happenin’?” One side asks first with the other side answering and then they switch. Very fun way to learn this simple phrase.)
Do you have just a few more minutes? If so, as the founder, the song writer, the teacher, the mom, I am providing you with some FREE bilingual fun sheets, language cards and more to bring the Spanish learning to life.
Here is a cute coloring sheet about dog/perro and cat/gato: http://www.bocabeth.com/Bilingual_Resource_Area/Dog-Cat-1.pdf
Here are the two bilingual language cards to go along with that coloring sheet (pronunciation key is the easy way to write and understand how the word sounds in Spanish and in English): http://bocabeth.com/bb_nl/5-2-2007/0610_Boca_dogcat.pdf
Happy Educating! ¡Sea feliz educando!

Kids do love learning. But also they love to learn things in a more creative method. Kids do love visuals and adios and so learning them how to speak in Spanish using this kind of method would be very easy. Playing with fun and learning can easily be coping by kids.
So glad you love using music and visual cues/clues like we do here at Boca Beth to make the learning fun and meaningful for young children.
