Hi everyone!
Well I need some advice. This semester I'll be teaching Spanish classes weekly at a daycare center for 30 minute sessions to 2-5 year olds. I have never taught Spanish to children besides my brothers and well I've given catechism classes to children in Spanish. What are some good activities to make the language fun and exciting for the children?
I have to make a curriculum and I have a mentor, my college Spanish teacher who will be providing me with tips and advice as well, however I would appreciate any additional ideas.
Thank you,
Yvette V.

How about a kind of "Simon Says":
"Toca la nariz!" and you all touch your noses.
"Toca el ojo" and you all touch an eye (your own!!)
Besides the "hello" and "good morning'" things.
Try not to use ANY English in the classroom.
Learn some simple songs with hand motions, (like our insty wintsy spider) from another Spanish teacher
Or have pictures of the vocab (fruit or body parts) for holding up and all kids shout out "Ceresa" when the cherry pic is up.
Repeating and rote memorization is easy for 2 - 5yera olds.
Enjoy the times, and ALWAYS HAVE TOO MUCH in your lesson plan in case something falls flat.

My daughter is now three years historical and she or he is aware of her alphabet... I began making a song it to her whilst she used to be approximately a million 12 months historical so she might have it memorized... I believe your little one already is aware of usually English due to the fact that I'm assuming that is the language you talk usually round her however in case you talk Spanish to him then he's going to select up on it....

Lots of activities where they can get up and move around...
Singing is always good...
Use lots of color and visuals...
Just relax and enjoy it - teach what YOU would have liked at this age!
Best of luck!
