This week I thought it would be fun to bring back some Fruit Fun lesson ideas from my former Boca Beth Educator’s Club!
This song is off of my More Boca Beth / Mas Boca Beth bilingual music CD for children to learn Spanish while they continue learning English too!

Circle time activities for this fun
bilingual Fruit Song:
Using a plastic bowl with plastic fruits from my kitchen play
center that match the fruits sung about in this song, I stand up
with the children standing and they sing back to me the “I see a
grape” “Veo una uva.” The ones who do really well singing back
and not shouting back get to hold the fruit they sang about
without grabbing for it.
The children have so much fun keeping the beat, echoing back,
seeing and holding the actual fruits and trying to say a complete
sentence and not just one word in their new language.
Notice I never say “The verb is ver and to say “I see” in Spanish
you should say “Veo.” We do not conjugate verbs in the Boca
Beth Program. The children will get it as they repeat, repeat,
repeat acting like sponges with each new word, each new
phrase.
Coloring book pages, board books on fruits and magazine pictures can also bring this song to life for the children! Then get really brave and introduce all of the real fruits during a Summer Fruit Fiesta!!!
Happy Educating!
