Pre-Schooler Spanish

Lots of songs, rhymes and puppet play. Loads of active games – jumping/hopping, hiding/seeking and touching/feeling things. Our pre-schooler programs are very ‘hands on’ and include many sensory elements to get the children engaged and speaking Spanish naturally. We explicitly teach the following topics using a play-based methodology;

Basic Greetings; Numbers 1-20; Colours; eating and drinking; fruits,  common animals (farm and zoo animals); body parts & clothing; the outdoors & environment; weather; transport; and movement/actions.

We explore many of the cultural elements of Spain including Tapas, the Flamenco, siestas, La Fiestas – the many Spanish festivals including the Day of the Dead celebrations in October, Gaudi art and architecture, using Euros for money, paella, and what Christmas and Easter is like for children living in Spain.
