Teaching Spanish to Toddlers & Preschoolers {Lesson 11}

Make sure you check out my Spanish Page for the previous lessons and songs.

español escosés {Scottish Spanish}

I offered to teach Spanish to the toddlers and preschoolers in our play group every Monday at 11am.  I thought I’d share my lesson plans, tweaks, and vocabulary for anyone interested, as well as for the moms to review their kids for the next week. *Each week, we are learning part of the alphabet, a new color, or numbers, as well as various phrases or terms (maybe 4-6 phrases or terms a time).  Most lessons will be based on toys or other tactile objects and I will incorporate or just add a story in Spanish and/or Bible story.

Objetivos:

  • Practice alphabet
  • Review asking and telling age, as well as names
  • Review #s (1-20) & Counting
  • Learn 3 new action verbs
  • Read story
  • Sing Colores (review rojo, verde, azul, morado, amarillo, blanco, marrón, negro, gris, anaranjado)

Métodos:

  1. Say alphabet chant a couple times for review.
  2. Practice vowel rhyme that incorporates “¿Cómo te llamas?” Then, practicing asking and answering.  (We didn’t do this last week, so hopefully I’ll remember this week!)
  3. Practice 1-20 by counting Little People toys.  Then, make a circle, and count 1-20 person by person.  Have each child and adult take turns counting in the circle.
  4. Practice action verbs.
  5. Learn 3 new action verbs: stand up, sit down, & turn around.  Have kids do the action while saying it.  Practice the 3 new action verbs first, then add them to the other 4.

Vocabulario

  • Levántate- Stand up.
  • Siéntate- Sit down.
  • Dóblate- Turn around.

Tip: With a group, I realy should be using plural (Uds) commands.  However, I decided to do 2nd person commands (tú) so they hear it one-on-one.

Just like last week, please practice counting, as well as the phrases they have learned: ¿Cómo te llamas?” and ¿Cuántos años tienes? because {fun} repetition is the only way they’ll get these since they’re not processing the grammatical side just yet.  :)  We practice on walks or in the car when I think of it.  We also count things and play “I spy” {Yo espio} with colors.
